Decided to re do my tank again as the Congo Tetras kept getting stuck in the fake plants and the pl*co and Clown loaches needed somware to hide during the day.

A lot have said "Whats the point in bulding a tank where the fish hide all day and come out at night, you never get to see them" which i ...

Dont think you would have a problem there unless any of your tankmates get realy big.

I want some Corys but there at least £4.50 each so a nice little group of 11 would cost far far to much, i dont know what there called but there a cream colour with black/dark spots all over, almost perry-cory ...

Do you recommend putting a pouch of bacteria in the larger tank to speed up the cycle?

Nope just get the tank running for about a week with no fish in it, then add about 5 Zebra Danios to get the pollution going as this is what makes the bio-load colonise the filer media. you can add a product ...

I would pop back to the/a store and pick up a 3ft tank, stand, hood and light, and keep your 2 gal tank as I used my tiny tank as an emergency tank, if I had a ill fish or a fighting pair I could quickly fill the tiny tank full (From the main tank) and then transfer the fish over. that would give me ...

I have a 7" Sailfin, i am pritty sure they hate there own kind! mine used to chase the small one all over the tank.

I built him a small cave which the big Sailfin could not get to him, and that stopped it all.

But now there both big enough and have been in the tank a while and they dont fight ...

3ft tank is around 30Gal, but depends on height and depth, if you get a 36"x12"x15" thats around 30Gal ish.

The filter will suck the waste up but it will get full very quickly. i have a Fluval +4 in my tank and i have to clean it every week as it gets fully blocked. and i have got a very low fish ...

cf2:
I was wondering how that fish destroyed the set up.

He grabs the offending item in his mouth and swims up with it ripping it out of the ground. I wish I could show you the rockwork setup (In the pics at the start of the thread) when he wrecked that, he put his mouth round the rocks in the ...

I'm not questioning your helpfulness; imo your help went into the wrong direction.
But, especially when reading the last part of the above quote, I think cf2 is the one to judge about that and not me.

Thats all i am trying to do, maybee going about it the wrong way but the thought was there or ...

Our goldfish passed away overnight last night. I am sad, as I was getting attached to it and we only had the one. It got caught between the tank and the pseudo rock

Whats Inappropriate about showing how good a bigger tank will look???

I think your Inappropriate comment is inappropriate!!!

Your tank is to small and there is no room to move around.

Leave the Pleco in there and look for a bigger tank, get the biggest tank, hood and stand you can afford.

The fish probibly got scared and swam fast round the tank and got stuck, with a bigger tank there is more options for the fish to ...

The Earth Eater (Main fish in the vid) is just over 6", the goldfish is 3/4 of the way through the vid,

(And yes i make a crap camera man!)

Get the goldfish out of that tank if you have a heart or get a bigger tank, you would be looking at least 3ft for the fish you have there.

"Goldfish only grow to the size of the tank" is the biggest load of dog-doo-doo you can be told. A goldfish will only stay the size of the tank if the water is ...

No No No Not the Cichlid-Forum, Far far to serious for the likes of us who have a sense of humour,

Here's what i have done...
Notice there are no heaters, filters and such like, well there are i have put them on there side at the back, near the top so when your stood infront of it ...

Well i decided to make my tank a "show tank" and spent hours doing it and £30 on new plants, little was i to know this would only las 11 days #-o all because of one naughty fish.

It will move rocks and pebels up to the size of a mobile phone, plants last about 4 days before there shreaded.

Transit

I got my 48" tank, 48" Hood, and 48" Stand in a Toyota Yaris at the same time

I would just borrow somones car or use your own.

Put the seats down and maybe the front seat and load it up.

I went on holiday for a week, i fed them hevely for 3 days and did a 50% water change after i feed them. and when i returned they looked well and i had no loses and that goes for the 1ft long goldfish i had in the tank as well.

Dunno it just said "Turtles" on the tank, they were about 2.5" sandy colour very livley and they have long little snouts.

I popped into your store today,
There ia a lot of catfish, and l like the Tetra room.

I also noticed your turtles, and i am getting a 10ft tank in about 8 monthes, so i was wondering if you have any more info on them?

Nice Shop

I would love to have some neons, but my Iporangensis Geophagus Cleaned out 30 of this in 2 days!!! so no more neons for me,

I have a 48x15x12 and when i moved out i had to pull the stand "OUT" of the laminate flooring as it went through it. not bother as it was not my floor. i had a Couch and tv in close proximity to the tank as well.

If you are unsure, water seal the room and make sure there is enough water in the ...

How about this for a prize

A 10ft tank, with sand, rocks, driftwood, fish, a house to put it in (on a nice estate), The morgage and all heating/electric bills paid, £80,000 for 10 years paid per month so you dont have to work so you can sit and watch the fish, your own fish store with staff so ...

I donâ??t want to sound stupid but i was wondering if the Catfish convention was for me, i love fish, i have kept catfish for a few years but i donâ??t know an awful lot about them. i have a fear i would feel out classed by "Smart People" or am i just getting paranoid over nothing.

I have just had a look at the website, Wow i am defenetly popping up this weekend!
