first link was for 4-6mm bulk head fittings for airline, second link was for 12/16mm fittings.....

try here: brass nipples!! :good: and here for larger size 12/16mm

use a powered water cooled tile cutter: B&Q do a basic model for about 35 quid and a bigger one around 60/70 mark.... cheap one dearer one works a charm:)

I think a good simile is the filtration used on large koi ponds; generally you have MORE biological surface area (as in vortex systems) but the water passes through relatively slowly to give the water greater contact with the media. If you fire the water through too quickly the biological...

I was a manager at P@H and think they get a bad rap partly because they are a big chain and thus an easy target over a mom and pop store. True there are stores that are shockingly ran and also there are exceptional ones; same can be said for any independant or mid sized chain - dobbies...

its either barbus lineatus or barbus johorensis and they max out about 3-4 " ive got 5 johorensis very peaceful even shy, but nice fish.

good point, withdrawn. brian blessed scares me more anyway.

buy them from your supermarket; use a screwdriver and hammer make repeated strikes rounds the centre of the coconut, rotating it slightly after each hit and eventually (some are harder than others) it will start to crack\split (if you have a drill you can drill a hole in and drain the milk out...

remember kribs like green foods too so a little courgette etc in their diet wont go amiss.... i personally have never found they eat other fish apart from being opportunistic with the odd dead tankmate.. that said they are territorial with other bottom dwellers, more so if they are a bonded pair...

hi, if you have a seperate tank that would be the best course of action;take the barbs out that will leave the parents to bring the fry on. if you cant do that either put in a tank divider; or less stressing try using a fry seperating net to put the barbs in the kribs will continue to be...

try microman (mark breeze); http://www.dwarf-cichlid.com/ superb breeding list and top notch fish by ALL accounts. :good: Craig

with kribs and multi stocking its purely based on tank space; i think you would find increased levels of aggression particularly with a breeding pair if its a 125 l (3 foot tank yeah??) i would seperate the juveniles when the parents have fry again; maybe try raising them in the 35l with a...
