yeah, i thought about a nice pair of apistos, but they're hard to find here at the moment. might be a long term plan. i hope to have a fair number of places the smaller fish could hide. if the severum ends up getting too big and too aggressive for a fish that size, he might have to be rehomed. i...

ok, that helps, thanks. it looks like a single severum with a group of 3 or 4 festivums might be the way to go.

any help?

it's a standrd 4ft (or at least what is considered standard here) - 55g. so that's too small for a pair of each? what about 1 of each, then? or would they be happier in a pair?

thanks for the suggestion ;) i actually don't like african cichlids - i'll stick to the americans :)

Hey guys, I used to post on here 3 or 4 years ago and loved the site, but I found a local (Australian) forum that took over. Now I have a question that I thought you guys could help me with :) I have had my planted 4 ft tank with the same stock for about 4 years. Now my beautiful odessa barbs...

has anyone used anything other than seachem tabs?

Hey all! I have a number of different plants tanks, some with ADA Aquasoil and some with plain gravel. The gravel ones obviously need some supplmentation, so I was wondering what you would recommend as the best root tablets on the market. I have used the Seachem ones in the past with some...

if the albino is actually a pepper (or something else - there are a few different albino strains), you might have hybrids...

if you can seal the sump, you won't have a problem with offgassing co2 - it will act as a sort of reactor.

mooore aussies :D

i am female too - but i think your scientific method is a bit off. the title is going to catch the attention of more females than males, and therefore your numbers will be biased :P

thanks for your info, dave. the only problem with the foraging idea is that the rest of the fish in the 4ft (yoyo loaches and barbs) are pretty enthusiastic when it comes to food. any tips on getting the food to the eel? and you think i could keep a pair in the tank with the current fish? thanks.

thanks! i am pretty fond of him :) he has some white marks on his tail that i'm a bit worried about - i'm sure it's not whitespot, but not sure what else it could be. he seems a bit lethargic too, though i'm not sure what's 'normal' for these guys. i'm going to add some salt and melafix to his...

I have recently purchased a tiny peacock spiny eel (the first I've ever seen around here! v. cool). He is quarantining at the moment in a 2ft tank but is destined to go into my 4ft (50gal). Currently in the 4ft I have 4 yoyo loaches, 9 odessa barbs, 2 bristlenoses and a SAE. I have read they...

Anyone? Or is this an inappropriate question for the forum? If you feel uncomfortable giving me recommendations for shops, can someone at least help me with brand recommendations?

sparkling gouramis have that same 'get to know you' thing that bettas do. mine always come and say hi when i put my face up to the tank :)

Hi! :) I have an Eheim 2215 canister on my 50gal tank and am thinking of upgrading to a 2217. I am not overstocked, but my fish are only going to get bigger and messier and I'd rather overfiltrate sooner than have problems later. I am planning on getting a 50cm cube (33gal) soon and move the...

second that neilanh! tamra&steven - what you have are baby, or stunted clown loaches. ALL clown loaches get big. keeping them in a small tank will simply stunt their growth and eventually kill them.

this is an interesting topic. while it may upset a fish's habits and comfort zones, i think rescaping or moving things around is a positive thing. it provides stimulation in an otherwise static environment. after a rescape or even just a water change - any slight difference in environment - i...

awwwww!

I believe it's bacterial, as it's eating into the, rather than growing on it. It's a slow killer, though, as it seems to be up to a few weeks from first appearance to death. I'm in Australia, I've never seen the Jungle brand, but I might try a fungus aide and see if that works.
