Hi guys. It's been a while since I've been here. I'm building a paludarium as a little project over the school holidays and I thought I'd document the process. It's been years since I did a proper tank build so bare with me. So far we have: 2ft tank - haven't measured it but just by...

Hey guys! Been a long time. Not too sure who to contact anymore. Can a mod please PM me in regards to a paid subscription? Cheers

Picked these guys up yesterday for an absolute steal. The guy bought them as surinamensis so thats what I bought them as. I read surinamensis aren't in Australia and that they are most likely brachybranchus. I don't mind what they are I like them anyway but it would be nice to know what I've...

The perks of having an other half that keeps large colonies of awesome fish is spare males for display tanks. :D This is one of the tanks in our lounge room. Its a 270L sunsun with male leptosoma kitumba, gold comps, speciosus and a lone male ornatipinnis.

Picked up 5 male Cyprichromis sp. "Leptosoma Jumbo" (Black Bee) yesterday and I am in love. Will have to track down some more.

Over the last few weeks I've been working on a foam and cement background for my 5x2x2ft tank. Thought I'd share some pictures. Before pictures. Tank was filthy and cabinet was water damaged. Cabinet painted and in house. Diy rain gutter light fixture...

I am purchasing a 5x2x2 tank, stand 4ft sump including pump and all fittings for $350. Bargain! It's 150 gallons and was a reef tank. The original plan was to have a SW tank but my husband has lost all interest and I don't want to do all the research on my own! I am far more comfortable with the...

Need an ID of this fish for a mate of mine. Are we right thinking its a mudskipper? Neither of us have seen one in the flesh before.

We are seriously considering getting a same sex pair of guinea pigs for our almost 5 year old daughter and almost 3 year old son. She loves to hold and pet animals so for the life of me I can't get her more interested in fish other than the occasional help feeding them! I think she's very mature...

As some of you know I won a 5 bay betta barracks and promptly pulled the dividers out to make one tank. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f23/just-won-5-bay-betta-tank-268130.html I've finally decided what I am going to do with it. Thanks to my hoarding I already had a light and a way to...

Today the new LFS in town (that I LOVE) was having a give away and I won the main prize! Got this 5 bay betta tank valued at $80au. It came with these incredibly tacky ornaments so of course I gave them straight to my kids to destroy. Obviously its too small for Bettas since each compartment...

Happy Australia Day to all my fellow Aussies out there! Enjoy your long weekend and if you're in north QLD stay safe!

Thought it had been a while since I posted any pictures of my goldfish tank. Since moving to my new house 9-10 months ago I've rearranged the tank and added some DIY riparium planters. Today I added a small pothos cutting and hot glued some bark over a bright blue pot. I have another pothos...

Ever since seeing Wy Renegade's paludarium I've become more and more interested in building my own. I find I'm fairly obsessed with house plants and fish keeping so it seems like the perfect way to combine the two in a beautiful display. I finally transferred the fish and plants from my 40L (10...

I'm looking for a light for my TV tank and I only have 2.5cm to mount one between the top of the tank and the top o the TV. Is a single 20w t4 going to cut it? I'm wanting low light for cyrpts, etc. I had a single 18w t8 over the tank in the past and am looking for a little more light. I forgot...

After the sad loss of two of our goldfish (Francis and Charlie) in the last month, on the weekend we picked out a new little buddy for our remaining three (Boo!, Percy and Fenton). This is Rupert the pearlscale. :) And the other three. I normally don't name fish but there's...

Thought I'd start a thread for the discussion and show off of body modifications. Post your pictures of your tattoos, piercings, dermals, etc! I've got my ears pierced three times up each lobe and the first set are stretched up 1 gauge/7mm. My goal size is 00 gauge/10mm. It's taken me 7...

After shoving tanks in and on every available space of our last house and quickly running out of room, we have finally moved into a larger house with a spare room. Of course I claimed it as my fish room. ;) At the moment it has 6 out of 10 of my tanks. I'm putting my goldfish and African tanks...

I just picked this guy up today. He's got beautiful colors.

I have a tank that has a little glass lip just over an inch wide on all four sides. Because of this a HOB filter doesn't fit correctly causing it to sit at an angle and rattle. The outflow of water also trickles over the lip and I'm afraid it will overflow out the tank. Anyways, I've tried to...

I'm starting a malawi tank (70g) and I don't know if I want an all male tank or males and females. So far I'm having just peacocks and some yellow labs along with my bn plecos and rts. What are everyone's experiences and thoughts? At the moment I'm leaning towards all males.

When I redo one of my tanks I want to put something down to help protect the glass if a rock falls or shifts. I've been trying to find egg crate (light diffuser) but I give up. Been ringing and visiting lighting and hardware stores and they all don't have it. I was thinking styrofoam but would...

I've had my 70g community tank for 9-10 months. I've changed it countless times and I still get over it and change it again and again. I've decided it's about time to do something different. I have 8 planted tanks 4 of which are communities so I'm not looking for anything like that. I'm...
