That very much depends on what specific plec. There are a few that don't grow very big at all, but many grow very large, unsuitable for all but large tanks.

Heh, we're actaully 50/50 on the tank (though I do the water changes, filter cleaning and general maintenance, in return I force her to feed the bloodworm). Thanks for the general pointer, I'll look through killifish catalogs and see if I can id it. She reckons it begins with "G" if that's any...

For what it's worth, that would probably also damage the filter. I assume it would be under far higher load trying to move that much water with so little available.

Buy a Pleck? they're great at stripping algae :) Otherwise you could possibly use the lighting less?

My wife bought me a couple of fish for Valentines day (Val and Tyne) However, I've no idea what they are.. Can someone Id them for me? Verbal description: dark/pink red spots on a green body. yellow/green fintips on dorsal, tail and anal (?) fins. Male :) Link to picture: My Gallery

Thanks - it was limited to 90 seconds, so it was kinda tough to fit in the "story so far" :) Especially as the fishie's voices aren't any better than mine to do voiceovers - lots of time spent in speech frames :) All fun though, thanks for the positive comments - now my wife is insisting that...

Just decided to run a set of tests to see if that suggested anything odd about the chemistry... As per a lot of people on the boards, I'm picking up levels of ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. I've put a bit of the ever trashed Stress Zyme into the tank, but other than a bit of plant...

Haven't the foggiest, the ones that looked pretty and interesting in the aquatic shop :) OK, that's not helpful, how about a picture? Better way of describing the setup, you can even see the mat of bubbles.. (hope that works, if not, let me know)

Hi, total newbie, getting to grips with things aquatic. I have a 3' x 1' x 1.5'(high) tank (130l fact fans). I bought it second hand, and apparently it's been unused for a year. I have: an undergravel filter with two risers an Eheim 2313 heater/filter combo unit an immersed heater that's off...
