150G Stocking

Im in the UK so the prices could be quite different. But ill have a look next time im at the lfs and see.
I remembered reading a link that stated flagtails were pretty common in the UK. I'll see if I can pull it up. Hopefully, your local fish store will be able to locate some. They take care of alage pretty good and eat a varity of veggies. I'm going to be making a profile for them hopefully if I can.
Cheers and you should theres no info on flagtails in there now.
Good I'm going to make one right now. :)
Sounds good mate :good:
Just made it and its not there?? :angry:
The mods have to check through it first. Can you PM me it i wouldnt mind having a read of it.
Sure no problem...
 
How fast will sevs eat plants? I want some floating plants for the Limas but i know sevs love to munch on them so i was thinking if once i get the tank set up throw in a load of duckweed and let it cover the tank before i get the sevs and hopefully it would mange to reproduce as fast as the sevs are eating it so there would always be floating plants. Could that work?

Sevs will eat plants as quickly as they discover they are edible. Basically straight away :lol: I had to move my live plants out of my 50g with my Rotties in as they kept munching on them. My Betta appreciates them much more :good:

:lol: .Hmmm. Il just have to hve loads of cover nearer the bottom for the limas.
 
Limas will just hang by the top of the tank. So really fake plants would be best.
Im really not keen on fake plants if im honest. Ill try and get some big bits of wood that stretch to the top to give them some cover.

That would work!!!
My lima likes to chill on a rock.
I'm going to pm you the flagtail profile in a bit.
 
I plan on having a few big bits of slate scatered around for the sevs and geos incase they want to lay there eggs on them. Ive just ordered 2 fluval E 300W so will have to see how i get on with them.
Cheers :good:

The hanging silk plants used in vivs are good. I have loads of them and am very pleased with them. My polys love them :good:

Sounds good. :)
 
I think i might swap the 4 whiptails for 3 Hoplo catfish/Megalechis thoracata or Striped Raphael Catfish/Platydoras armatulus. I do like the whiptails but just not sure they fit in.
 
Well the cheapest i can get the jaguar catfish or pimelodus ornatus at 15cm is £60 posted but im not sure i want to risk getting them posted for that money so any other ideas on catfish? I want 1 decent size catfish 8-10" and then 3-4 of something else like hoplos but i would like something a little different.
