Can you please give a size estimate in mm? I'm looking to try keeping shrimp but need them to be fairly chonky so my barbs don't snack on them.
Did you know, koi fish tend to swim in groups of 4 and, if a threat appears, fish A, B, and C will scatter leaving behind the D koi.
PS Do you intend keeping one species per tank, or a mix and match as fish requirements allow?
#5 and 6 trigger me bigtime lol - hard pass. Thanks for the pics, that must have taken a while to compile.
No need to explain at all. I can see myself whiling away my retirement doing exactly the same thing. Plus there's the eternal tinkerer banging on...
I also got a 5.2L food storage container that I'm going to try and Heath Robinson into a canister filter. It's probably made of PP or PE so I'm...
The 33L 1.5 footer on the bottom shelf was my childhood tank for many years. I kept guppies and tiger barbs with a UGF in it of all things and...
I'm sorry, but this is completely and utterly bonkers! I'd love to see what fish you have in your collection.
It's definitely the case in my opinion. The barbs would get a spot or two and a couple of hours later it was gone. They've been largely...
Thank you. I could write a long, opinionated treatise on my experience so far - they're the least painful (read: not at all painful) part of...

Continued slow improvement on the CTs. Some are still sporting Guinea Fowl Chic, a couple of them are completely spot free :thumbup:. I've done...
I've decided what I'm going to do. I added a third capful to the morning dose, and will dose two this evening for five capfuls today. If the fish...
So a funny thing happened on the way to the Krusty Krab this morning. The water temperature has been back to 24.5'C for 24 hours, and there is a...
I'd like to try my hand at keeping some shrimp - but don't want them to get rekt. I don't care too much about any offspring - I just don't want...
What's not readily available appears to be LFSs who quarantine their fish properly. I really like this approach and very highly doubt I'll ever...
:( All the CTs are fine and active and don't seem to be bothered by the heat (or the ich) at all, but tonnes of spots and no sign of improvement....
I want a marine setup for one reason, and one reason only.
Depends on your definition of "proper" :D My low-rent first-timer setup consists of 2Kg CO2 fire extinguisher:R1050 Cheap(ish) solenoid and...
DIY Co2 is a major waste of time imo.
