    Hi guys, hope you're all enjoying the sun. Are the above suitable for a planted tank? Are they good algae cleaners? Cheers

    Chilli Raspora

    eBay....kesgrave tropicals normally have them, MA @st albans are pretty good, further north you could ferrybridge aquatics and I have seen them in pier before.

    Cruelty - Bettas

    I keep fish because it is one of the few animals that we can keep in captivity and can recreate as close as possible to a natural habitat. The fact still remains that they are in captivity, we just have to make it as "pleasurable" for our pets as possible.

    Cruelty - Bettas

    Just to add, we are all guilty of cruelty to a certain extent. Keeping fish in an enclosed aquarium, the fact that the majority of us do the best we can to make it as natural as is possible goes some way to make it "ok"

    Cruelty - Bettas

    I didn't say it replicates their natural habitat in any way.... What fish lives in a glass box, whatever it's size in the wild? And you can't say "sort of understand" why they are kept the way they are in the Far East and frown upon it in Europe, It's one or the other in my opinion. And Europe...

    Cruelty - Bettas

    Unfortunately bettas seem to have drawn the short straw when it comes to their accommodation, in the far east where they are big business they are bred in their thousands and all held in jars or similar. Even lfs hold them in tiny tanks albeit (some) filtered. It's no different to having a red...

    Tetras or barbs

    Yeah I'm pretty much that way inclined myself, don't really like mixing continents. A few people have suggested pentazona already and I saw a large shoal in a planted tank at my lfs...... T.Espei, are they harlequins? Often over look them and think of them as "common" but no you mention it they...

    Tetras or barbs

    Hi, I was planning on having a nice shoal of barbs in my newly planted tank but now I'm considering tetras. What do you guys keep? I know there are a lot of nice tetra sp about but unsure what ones to avoid if I don't want my plants ending up as food.

    Barbs

    I like the pentazona actually. Very nice....great video too

    Hi, Can anyone recommend any planted tank friendly, small growing barbs?

    Apistogramma cacatuoides/RO water

    Unless they are wild caught Cacs i wouldnt worry about RO at all. As long as the water parameters are not extreme they will do fine. Sounds like the lfs are after some extra business trying to flog you something that is not needed, or they are not very clued up :thumbdown:
