Sorry for the delay in update, he's now been moved into a 20l tank running a air driven sponge filter, he's been having salt baths and has responded well. Need to find some shrimp now as a clean up crew.

Hi all Hope someone can help. I bought a beautiful fighter with lovely finnage about a week ago and he seems happy enough, eating and exploring all the tank, I noticed today when I came home that his fins look glued together and he seems to have what I can only describe as a snail trail across...

I would also say female golden, I'm trying to find some of these to go with my male(have posted picture in a previous post, not sure how to link to it????). http://www.fishforums.net/index.php?/topic/398154-which-variety-and-sex/page__view__findpost__p__3347981__fromsearch__1 Hope this link...

I have a false SAE, when I was researching them (true, false & flying fox) most info I found said that as youngsters they like company but as they mature they become territorial. The tetras I would increase their no. as they are schoolers.

I'm looking 2 female killie fish the variety that I'm after are know as either golden wonder killie fish or sparkling panchax(aplocheilus lineatus). I'm based near aberystwyth, west wales. If you know of any or information as where to get some that would be appreciated.

Good news then that the price seems right, the leopard is reduced from £80.

Good news then that the price seems right, the leopard is reduced from £80, should be taking home soon.

I'm thinking of buying these two plecs and just wanted to check the price is the going rate, the first is a golden nugget L081 @ £25, the second is a leopard frog (pekoltia) L134 @ £30 The golden is about 1 1/2 inches and the leopard is about 2 inches.

Thanks for the replies, I think I'll skip the oxygen tabs and just bag them and go.

Has anyone used the oxygen tablets with any success? My dilemma is I'm on holiday about 4 1/2 hrs away from home, I've seen a golden nugget plec in a fish shop but they don't have pure oxygen for transport. They have offered a poly box and suggested oxygen tabs for the bag? The box I agree...

Hopefully you can see from the photo what I was saying regarding the colour, hypophthalmus and sanitwongsei seem to have similar body shape but no mention of black colouring, these guys also seem to have big eyes that are a little cloudy, not sure if thats normal.

Hi could any one tell me what variety of pangas is mainly black, I'm not interested in getting any as I know that these guys are classed as tank busters. It's just that a LFS has had a couple brought in by a customer and they're calling them pangasius sutchi, however all the photos I've seen...

The tank has external filtration plus a power head for water movement, air pump running two air stones, other tank mates are likely to be various small danios ie leopard and zebra, harlequin rasbora, and a rescued golden wonder killi ( looking for some females for him). Would the peckoltia not...

Hi I would like to hear your thoughts on stocking these cats in the same tank, the tank size is 48"x 26" deep x 18" wide, this is cycling at the moment. I would like to have 1x peckoltia vittata, 1 x bulldog, 1 x bristle nose, 10x panda corys and I already have a false Siamese algae eater. I...

Thanks for the reply, I have seen some pictures where the heater is placed on the end wall rather than the back, I have a power head that I'm going to use purely for moving water around so I think I shall position this near the heater and see how I get on while the tank is cycling up, I have two...
