Re: overflow styles and sumps

I would be very wary about using an overflow with a canister filter. Canister filters are closed systems that require a siphon to drain water down and then the pump returns the water back to the aquarium. An overflow is an open system where gravity drains the water to the sump below. Overflows can ...

Re: overflow styles and sumps

I've just setup two 100 litre tanks running from one canister filter using a pvc pipe overflow. :-p The tanks are for breeding Apistogramma in the upper tank and Endler guppies / growing on L144 Ancistrus in the lower tank. :)) I used Uaru Joey from youtube fame's direction on DIY aquarium overflow ...

Re: peckoltia false vittata

regarding the tailfin, most panaque/panaqolus will have a nice long extension on the tail fins like angels do. My young L271's have it and they are 3" or less (even the small 1.5" sl ones have it started) have noticed actually ! my knowledge is quite basic really but have been keeping fish now ...

Re: peckoltia false vittata

My initial thought is that it isn't a Peckoltia , but a Panaqolus , possibly Panaqolus sp(l206) (this one has the spotted tail). Try and get some better pictures if you can. apart from being colour blind I would say exactly that she or he is a L206, thank you !! When I first had one 4 years ago ...

Re: peckoltia false vittata

I think you are right spot on with the L206, however mine has finials trailing from the tail fin top and bottom like veiltail angels do, cant see if thats the case in the L206 photo you provided but I'll check out the profile now....she hides away alot and rarely is out to get a picture, will try ...
