Hi again peoples, Thanks for the nice comments guys. I tried that Link ekunds with no luck, but thankyou all the same. My progress report is that all is going along FANTASTIC! I now have 250 Bristle nose in my growing out tank, with my two breeding pairs still at it :) I have hardly had any...

Interesting Question, I must admit I have never looked for that behaviour. I queried my wife who says that she has noticed one of the males who refrained from eating whilst the others would be busily munching away as they do. I also think I have noticed the big fella pictured above refraining...

Hi guys, It's been a while since a last visited and things have been going well. Just wanted to post one more pick of yet another healthy batch of bristlenose. I currently estimated around 50-60 that seem like they are going to make it out of this lot. Once again the cam is not that good but...

Thanks Jchillin, mine are set to those times as well. I,ll check that site out now. Do you have a dimmer to emulate moon cycles?

Well its got me thinking about it. Great idea.

Well I'll be sure not to tip in any bucket loads any time real soon, but I see its not just once a day for some.

Very well thought out, well done!

Nice tank and fish

Sounds interesting, could you please describe what an inline heater is and looks like? Thanks

Thanks guys, I have a community tank with- tetras plecos corrys & yo yo loaches I feed once a day in the evening about three hours before the lights go out. Was just wondering if there was an optimal time to feed was all. I got plenty of snails to keep the yo-yo's busy during lights out. was...

There definetly not for a the smaller comunity tank. I took mine straight back to the shop. I prefer the drawf variety, anything up from that I figure I may as well go cichlids.

Hi, What is the best time to feed your fish? I only ask because someone reacently told me that feeding them at night before they mellow out was a bad thing to do? I know that some fish only eat at night (or suposedly) and this kind of just make it more complicated. If I feed some in the...

Hi, I seem to have optimized my heating by placing my heater horizontal. I orignaly had it stuck in the corner like the noobie I am. I then moved it into the middle where the current would cross its path. I soon obsereved that the heater kept cutting out before the set temprature was reach...

Hi, I've currently been running my aqua light on a 12 hour cycle and was wondering if I should back it off to a 10 hour cycle. I've also been giving some thought to artinic lighting as well as Moonlights. Could anybody that has been using all three types of lighting in thier aquarium, please...

All seems to AOK, I think your right. The corry is fine and the moss in holing itself for the time being. Ive seen the corry nible at it at times, but I dont think its hurting him. Infact if I,m lucky others might also nible from time to time. I guess I over/reacted when suddenly after a...

Thanks, Yea, my camera sucks. I,ll try to describe it some more. In closer ot looks Hairy/Fury tendrils spreading in the gaps of closly grouped stems giving off more of a purply brown colour. I'll keep an eye out to see how fast its spreading! The albino corry? (WAS just lying in a log doing...

Hi, The roots from my Anoubis plants seem to be acumalating a lot of mossy like substance. The photo does not show it well, although without the moss developement now present you would see a more defined roots structure than the pics show. The moss seems to be filling in the space between the...

Not yet, but will check it out now since you mentioned it. Looks like a another great place for info. Thanks

Thanks also Lonewolfblue, I,ll go check out those threads now over my morning coffee, and get back to yas later:)

Hi, This is pretty much the end result for my bristlenose. They seem to love the enviroment I have created and wont stop breeding. You can find out more about the setup in the Freshwater & Brackish - Breeding section under the post: Bristlenose Breeding Successfully!…Tank Specs and Conditions

Thanks Brian, as a result of this thread, you have given me somthing important to think about. I'm about to setup a cichild tank and make it really BRIGHT and colouful. I love plants and although it seems from what I've read about cichilds tearing them apart, I got some thinking to do if I go...

Thanks heaps Zagz, I wish I had a tank that big. I just picked up the tank today. I was told to treat it as though it was 30gal. Looks like its going to be dwarf cichlids for me My largest is 48”/18”/18” someone told me that was a 70gal and the guy who sold it said it was 55gal. I don’t...

Interesting guys, Mt tank is full of wood and without a PH testing kit, I,m guessing its got a low PH. The tank builder I deal with, whole heartedly says he is telling the truth when he quotes his britlenose suppliers and having to use a torch to see through the black water they are using to...

Thanks guys, I guess I got a little excited. Nor will it be my last post on Pleco’s, I just said that because I thought three posts in a row might be getting too much. Your welcome About the stain effect and if it really helps or not: I’ll do some more research on that when I can. The guy I...

Nice, Lost city of Atlantas mabey
