Any Aussies About?

[Dlee13]

Actually I have a question for all the Perth people here, and possibly other states!

Does anyone know of any LFS that sells seeded media? My cycle is killing me and I want to speed it up.

I don't know of any that do sell seeded media. You could try finding a locally owned LFS and making a strong relationship with them and ask if you could borrow a filter sponge or something for a few weeks. That, or hopefully someone else from Perth can offer you some

Good luck with it

In Brisbane and have 2 x 55 gal tanks. One with Malawi cichlids and one with fancy goldfish.

I usually buy my fish from Annerley Aquarium but have recently discovered Exotic Fish Connections at Rocklea. They have a great range, very helpful and LOVE to have a chat.

Richmond Subscape Aquarium is awesome.

Anyone in Melbourne know where I can get the electric green RAMs?

Thanks for your advice - they are good and I follow them on Facebook

Sorry, but not sure about the fish you are after - I stick to fancy goldfish. I hope you find the little guys you are after.

Have you been to St.Kilda Aquarium? Pretty good there too.

Thanks. I'm on a phone though. Just worked it out by accident and it's even easier! tap and select...ps do you actually have tandanus? They're one of my faves but I'm a bit nervous about keeping them in a four foot due to their potential size.

There ya go I wasn't sure if you were on a computer. I'm on my tablet so the same applies...just tap. I did have a Tandanus. Kept him in a 5 foot aquarium. He soon started to grow and became aggressive towards my cichlids. My friend has a 6 x 2.5 metre pond so that is where he now lives. After one year he has grown rapidly and doing well in the pond. Doesn't bother the goldfish. So you're right to be concerned. I don't think aquarium owners give enough information on these guys. They sell them at a relatively small size and most people are unaware of their potential adult size. Not to mention they are not what I would consider a peaceful aquarium inhabitant. They are cool though and at least I still get to see him. Makes me feel better knowing he's happier in a big pond

Hi all fellow Aussies.

Does anyone know a shop that sells nitrogen dry ferts online - preferably in Australia? Even in a mix. Potassium nitrate would be ideal but I'm assuming that will be hard to get here. I'm chasing up aqua green in NT to see what they have.

Guppies are wicked fun to breed even my 10yr boy does it!
