Newbie!

Well I don't know how many you could keep in an 8 litre tank, maybe 4 goby's?? But i'm not an expert on stocking levels.

And some shrimp would probably be fine with them.

Right i'll reply in the morning, gonna go get some sleep, night night.

Sounds pretty reasonable, would be nice to have some life in there finally!

Thanks for the info, will let you know tomorrow if i have any luck tracking some down!
Night!

I did!! Found some on the list from Indonesia! Guys at work can't understand the hype! Silly fools...

Pretty horrible here too, chucked it down with rain for the duration of my commute, and i'm now nursing a pretty hefty cold

firstly hello and welcome, as for the bumble bee's, you really shouldn't be putting anything but shrimp or snails in an 8L tank. Bumble bees need at least 20L for a small group (thats pushing it IMO).

Hi Ianho,

I was thinking of the size constraints, however I was thinking I could always move them into my larger tank, if they were unhappy. However, from what people have told me, that keep them, they actually prefer smaller, quieter tanks as it makes them feel more at ease, being as shy as they are.
Still not decided yet if i'm going to keep any. But thanks for the advice

All the way from indonesia.. wow.

I got mine from pets at home, of all places.

Mine can be shy when the larger fish are parading near the front, so I wouldn't disagree with the shyness.

And sucks about the hefty cold. Shift it with a curry and beer? haha.. Tis my usual cure for, well, anything.

 

[Skittle]

Lol they're not coming all that way for me personally, I'm lucky enough to get to order the fish every week where I work, so they'll be coming from the supplier out there

Pets at home aren't all bad, although personally I wouldn't touch my local one with a barge-pole! They do have some good books sometimes though.

As for the curry and beer, I have the female equivalent... wine and chocolate hehe!

If it's a good red, i'll agree with you.

Never been a chocolate person.. But as you said, female equivalent. Curry is my chocolate (though it tastes better)

My local pets at home isn't bad, once I figured out who knew what they were talking about and who was a complete tool, I started getting good stock orders and treatment in store.
Put in an application to work there, was asked to because "you seem to know what you're talking about".

Sorry, just had to bring my ego back to earth.

 

[Skittle]

It is a red- only thing i can just about taste at the moment thanks to my cold!!

Haha maybe you can bring some common sense, knowledge and a genuine interest in the subject, always a good start!!

I'm going to have to call it a day, before I cut my nose off!
Sleep well, nighty night.

Only if they're sour skittles. Otherwise they've got to be yellow!

 

[RustedKnight]

Green sours.. I like.

And yellows second best. you're a second best girl tut tut.

Anyway, thought you were off to bed.

 

[Skittle]

The rudeness! That's it i'm going to storm off in a dramatic exit type way....

hmm....

see this? This is me... leaving... ->

 

[RustedKnight]

I'm seeing it, but i'm not believing it.

*waits patiently..well..ish*

 

[Skittle]

Hehe patient indeed!

I can't find sour skittles anywhere!!! Grr...

Anyhoo, have you taken delivery of your new apistos???
