can u use rain water for your water changes? u know those watering can u see in gardens they fill up quite quickly ideal if u want to save on aquarium costs lol I had the idea of putting old not in use tanks outside to collect rain water and use. do u recommend it? maybe not for tropical tank...

iv got the filter close to the surface so theres movement :) most people fully submerge filter due to the noise. thanks for the advice :)

im sure I read that heated water holds less oxygen, its worrying yeah last thing u want is coldwater fish gasping at the top yeah. I wonder how they get away with it on youtube, the things I see at there its like lucky streak.

hi I was just wondering u see as when I went to move a decoration in tank, the water felt a little warm, I checked the thermometer and it was just in the safe green part which is your tropical fish preferred temperature yeah. im sure its just the room temperature doing this and later on it it...

iv been to many aquatics but never see these available to buy, I guess u'd have to specially ask for this.

iv got piranhas myself in my bedroom, very skittish and active, I put my hand in to move decorations around but they scatter lol nothing like piranha movies. but saying that they are a bit sneaky and smart in their approach.

its just the way the rumours sound, I just wondered about it u see. thanks.

I think thats how u spell it exodons. I hear they are predator like and not your community fish. the way it sounds as if they have similar characteristics to piranhas the way people say they attack and strip down any fish. the way it all sounds is like something out of a horror movie lol is any...

im not really a fan of these as it seems they performance drops each day. the flow just seems so weak on my pf4 the biggest one thats like £45 to buy. compared to the fluval u4 there's a big difference yeah my fluval u4 is going for weeks and still performing well. I just wonder if the pf...

this is another monster fish then, a bit like the giant gourami and pacu. im sure I heard somewhere the silver colour arowana cant get like 30inches long, it would be a nightmare finding a good tank for this. its wishful thinking lol a dream fish. maybe one day if I had more space.

hi, do u have an arowana fish? care to share the size it will reach in aquarium. I wonder if it can turn around with ease in a tank. iv heard stories of how they will jump out of tank lol imagine that. iv heard people saying this fish will bring u good luck aparently.

with the oscars being 'picky' and not take any of those specially designed for cichlid foods, what can u do lol iv seen where the oscar just wont eat, its like they are very alert and aware.

oscars can be a bit funny the way they take anything but spit it back out lol its like they are smart. I did try fishy type food like prawns, salmon but he never touches that. some oscar owners seem to feed more meaty things but I dont wanna chance it, u know like chicken or dinner left overs or...

what sort of foods do u give your oscar? my oscar only accepts x3 things and that is floating pellets and frozen bloodworm block lol he has the hole thing and those dried up mealworms. one of my buds said go to the reptile section in petshop and buy live worms or crickets, is that what u would...

does anyone have an L shaped aquarium? this would be like a dream tank for me downstairs in front room, I see clearseal do some and more cheaper than other brands. another intresting shaped tank that I saw that I liked was the bullet tank by boyu I think it was 300litres but about 400pounds if...

have u noticed on oscar they have that colour pattern and near tail it looks like an eye, im sure I read this is to warn off any sneaky come behind attacks, I had a book once it said oscars would have piranhas swimming near by and the colour pattern would kind of stop the attacks. is this true...

thats interesting I was told never to have 2 oscars in one tank, your picture kind of shines a light here. but if theres one thing iv noticed is it depends on the oacar, they vary alot for behaviour.

adding picture to a topic, others are doing it easily, my browser opera mini, I see at go advanced the add video appears but its not finding any pictures. is there a way of doing this on mobile browser yeah thanks ;)

wow looks like an albino oacar there, do u get territory trouble, my black tiger would always go head on never shy away yeah. this brown one I have is totally different hes not the same as my tiger oscar.

can u add a picture to a topic? I go advanced and it has add video option but no picture, I was going to share pics of oscar yeah. I feel the opera mini browser doesn't work too well on these sites it struggles abit.

I had a tiger oscar once he was about 6years old but passed away oddly enough, I nearly gave up fish keeping but got another one who's a light brown colour and oddly enough quite friendly compared to the tiger oscar I had that was rather agressive towards tank mates. theres something about...

is it true live rock is the filter and u just need to take out filter and just have a wave maker in there instead. its like I got the very basis of heater, tank but need to add live rock. I see they sell corals and live rocks at aquatics and the fish are really expensive some at 80pounds its...

imagine leaking upstairs, I have a 30gallon tank in my bedroom, this topic worries me now lol the 30g is the oldest tank I have.

lol I got one and its about 16inches in length, mines darker brown though and its a common plec aparently. iv seen really chubby ones at aquatics, thats long and fat, it seems they are going to reach 20inches. they are not cleaners lol they leave poo trails everywhere, lucky I do regular...

have u ever had a bargin on a tank or fish? at times facebook groups have really nice tanks on offer where people are moving house or or due to ill health or something.
