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?

Cheers guys, i will be setting up some other large tanks in the next 6 months or so and the pleco/bristlenose will have new homes as they grow. A full grown sailfin pleco will be very out of place in this tank. Any suggestions for a good school of apistos to try and keep? Will the Cardinals...

G'Day all, i'm currently letting the population of my 4ft 70G tank settle in as i added a couple more fish this weekend. I currently have 10 Congo tetras (6 male 4 female) 3 Bristlenose catfish (very small) 1 Sailfin Pleco 3 Longfin Corys 2 female blue rams (Can't find a male yet) 3 Bolivian...

I'm very new at all this and my LFS just wants to sell me things not provide good information. I thought about adding other schools of Tetras but i just love the Congos so much i want them to be the centrepiece of the tank. I can get as many rainbow fish (native to my local streams in...

Hi all, i have a 4ft 70Gallon tank medium planted PH 7.4 Hardness 120ppm Temp 25-26C Currently i have 6 Congo Tetras, soon to be 10-12 and 3 longfin Corrys. I want some other small non aggresive fish that i can put in as pairs or singles. Thinking about Bolivian Rams and Kribs at the...

Cheers for the ideas guys, i will let ya know what i come up with

How do people boil something a few feet long?

Hi all, i'm looking for some cheaper alternative for adding structure to my new 4ft tank. I'm very new at this and my tank is almost cycled and ready for fish but other than a couple of small rocks and 2 small plants my tank looks baren! Rocks and logs and crazily expensive in fish shops and...

how long should i leave bought fish in QT for?

Ok so i'm very new at this but i'm liking the idea of a QT tank. I got my first aquarium 3 weeks ago and after 5 days had 2 2ft tanks and 1 4ft tank. The 4ft tank is almost cycled and ready for fish in another week or 2. What size tank do i need for a quarantine tank and how long do i need...

Thanks for the advice guys, i think a group of 3 GBR's would work great along with some of the other aspitos. I will keep my eye out in my LFS for them.
