well hes better looking than most "premium" plecs i see in shops, though common plecs as babies are very different!

fill a bucket up with water and treat the bucket, saves prime and no untreated water ever hits your aquarium, no "dead" spots possible where the prime hasnt mixed in your tank where you add it tap to tank

wrap the media around an air stone turning it into a sponge filter! will keep the bacteria oxygenated and fresh flow of water.

is this a common plec or something else? http://www.flickr.com/photos/51981006 http://www.flickr.com/photos/51981006@N03/5486693058/in/photostream/@N03/5486099745/ IMAG0146 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! IMAG0149 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! IMAG0150 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! IMAG0151 | Flickr - Photo...

its 8 inches will grab a better pic when i can and re ask thanks

those tanks in shops arent examples of suitable sizes, they are temporary tanks that the fish spend little time in, till they are sold. every post here says no, take note they ALL say it for a reason

thank you just the plec now! anyone :)

he is isn't he. Also the black object above is a filter and it is 2 and a half inches wide to give you an idea of scale.

I have a tiger barb that came with the tank I just brought. I think he is ill. Looks VERY bloated. As I haven't had tiger barbs before I don't know if this one is just large or ill. IMAG0137 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

I brought a tank but bloke was insistent I had the fish that was in there as he couldn't/wouldn't take them to a LFS. So here is the first fish.... IMAG0136 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! IMAG0135 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! second fish ...... IMAG0130 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! IMAG0129 | Flickr -...

A pair of red dwarf gouramis woudn't be aggressive. A male and female would simply chase each other about but leave the other fish alone. I have a pair and they are fine. I was also worried about gouramis reputations before buying buy after reading through here it applies to the bigger gouramis...

Which of them school? Already have neon tetras so will give them a miss

Great idea! though can't get "rubber maids" here in uk though plenty of other storage bins, that size around. Thanks for the idea

I have a 5G tank with a betta and some fry in it. Thats allI can use for a QT tank. Will this be ok for 6 rasbora at a time i suppose will the limit? Will have to do it in 2 or 3 maybe 4 additions at at a time over several months.

The rasboras certainly didn't have ich I have inspected each one carefully and no signs.They had been in there happily for 4-5 months. Well they are tiny "white" spots but only in the fin. 2 of them. Like I said the first of the current 2 loaches had these "spots" on his fin but no where else...
