That's quite the move, but doable for the fish. What @Hendre has mentioned is quite good. Cooler boxes, or polystyrene boxes that you may be able...
I've been seeing a few gel foods recently, but haven't been quick to try them. Tetra has a series called Fresh Delica that's supposedly quite...
There's a lot about bristlenose breeding all over the web, though I don't think anyone has done a sticky this side about being an expecting...
They might occasionally rasp on driftwood, which can be beneficial as a supplement, but not absolutely required. For example, I've seen huge...
I've heard a lot about these products before, mostly good stuff. They seem to have a local site, but only for reptile products. You could contact...
That's a common plecostomus, I'd say. Very young.
If it helps, there are feral populations along the KZN coast if you're willing to travel and catch ;) I've collected the below feral strain from...
Must be the spirits, I knew I shouldn't have skipped the rituals when I moved in! @top dog - nope, in a cool, dark corner. The room itself...
I guess it must have been something just beyond notice, since normally I have an eye for these things - with tanks, at least! We've had some...
Hi everyone I was wondering if this is something anyone has had happen to them. I recently purchased a brand new (out the store) 45cm tank,...
Hi everyone! I neglected to close this thread when all the fish were sold some time ago. They've all been moved on to new homes, so if the mods...
There are a few bristlenose species that pop up now and again with those colours, although in some the white borders do fade. I recall that they...
It looks like a peacock eel, Macrognathus siamensis. It's closely related to the fire eel, though, and has similar care. It does stay a little...
+1 on peeling it off yourself. Even the specially made "silicon remover" just barely softens the surface of the silicon.
Some Danios are dyed, and are not fluorescent. I don't know if they sell GloFish (the trade name of the genetically modified danio) here as of...
At least local to me at the time, never saw a success story with Jardini tankmates. Often gets brought up with other "big" fish, until a certain...
Hi there, and welcome The biggest cost of an aquarium is often at the outset, but you're wise to consider running costs as well. As a general...
Growth rate of the pathogen can vary depending on the species, but is also affected by variables like temperature, other stressors (like a...
Sorry to hear. At least you have some idea of what directions you can take if it should happen again, only next time you can catch it a little...
Looks a little closer to Pterygoplichthys than Hypostomus. Likely P. disjunctivus or P. pardalis. In the long run, a four foot tank won't be...
