3 from 3 is good enough for me, cheers guys, he is much better looking than my other male so i might return my other to my LFS, thnx for the help

So by breeding tank you mean a tank with just my 2 Kribs in it?

As the heading says my Kribs have just laid 30+ eggs in a little rock cave in my 70G community tank. I'm a total newbie to aquariums, got my first tank just over 2 months ago which has just finished cycling but have 5 tanks in total already. My Kribs laid eggs today but i'm not sure what to...

I have 3 Bolivian rams 2 i have sexed as a male and female, this 1 i can't sex, both of my other bolivians have showed terratorial aggresion towards this 1, any help greatly apprecaited. Stix

Cheers i guess i will keep an eye on it, i think the rams and kribs would prefer it in less current, they do get blown around a little bit sometimes. I just don't know if it is better to give them highly filtered slightly fast flowing water or moderately filtered slower moving water :s Stix

I might try and squeeze in my other 4ft fluro with a standard 36W 6500K tube in it, will this be ample lighting to simply maintain the plants in the tank? Thanks once again Stix

I'm not sure exactly what the 2 tubes are, they are both 36W, i went to 2 LFS and bought the "best tube for aquarium plants" they had. I think 1 is a "power glo". T8 - T12 i don't know, they are full sized 4ft tubes not the skinny ones. Tank is 2ft deep Hope this helps. Stix

Yes a diffuser is the plastic cover you see on all non aquarium fluros. The light i have is a sealed weatherproof non aquarium fluro, i'm just wondering if the the diffuser (plastic cover) is affecting the light to much? I know i only have low light but i tried to pick low light plants, i...

G'Day all, i'm curious as to if you think my 4ft 70G planted tank has to much current? I have a Aquaclear 110/500 (500 Gal/H) on one end of the tank and a $40 600 Gal/H submersible filter up the other end. It's not quiet a "whirlpool" but i have plenty of water movement :) Is this to much...

G'Day all, i have a 70G planted tank which is doing "ok" but not great, it has had plants for about 3 weeks and some of them such as the java fern and anubias are starting to get a little brown around the edges. I have a 4ft double weatherproof fluro over this tank that i bought from the...

I have 10 Congo tetras in a 70G community tank and they are by far my favourite fish. They can be quiet a timid fish and take a while to settle in to any new surroundings, some tall plants reallys helps with this. I had a problem with 1 of my Gourami who didn't get along with my congo's, he...

Well he seems to tolerate her a bit more today so i guess i will just wait and see how they settle in.

I bought a pair of Kribs today, 1 male, 1 female who have both settled in to my 70G community tank quiet well, the male has found a nice little cave and goes for little peaceful explorations around the tank. The female has a glowing pink fat belly and won't leave the male alone. She keeps...

Cheers, i bought 2 clay pots today a bit bigger than 3" but they should do. I live on the Gold Coast, Australia, there is a pretty good variety of species within my area but very poor quality of fish as well. I still haven't decided what species of spistos to go with yet, they are all such...

Cheers guys, i actually found a shop today with some really nice apistos pity most them had white spot :( Any recommendations for good things to use for hiding places?
