^ wow i wouldnt of expected the goldfishes to be in there......the kois, barbs, and ciclids normal attack them.....but nice set up


i have a 6ft glass tank with differnt types of goldfishes in, and an indoor pond with 3 small koi, 2 red tails, and 4 turtles......... waiting for 2 of the older turtles to die so i can put all the gold fishes in the pond and have the glass tank converted to a salt water tanks or possibly just get soem nicer fresh water fishes like maybe a flower horn some some thing... i would take some pics tmr as its in my busniess

rmtuner, HOSS< OUTSTANDING
I wanted to do this but on a smaller scale, like half that volume. What pump you're using there?

And anyone knows if anyone breeds fighters locally? About a decade ago I had a few dozen of them, my room was littered with jars. I actually lost some in the room. I love them!!!!!! >.<
I tried breeding once. Got a book on bettas and had a go. From hundreds of eggs, 4 survived The problem was placement tho. People kept bumping the table the aquarium was on. I wanna try this again, but not aimlessly with any and every subject. Wanna breed selectively.

I am using 2 Pondmaster HY-Drive pumps.
3200gph and 4800gph hybrid magnetic/direct drive motor pumps.
Pushes plenty water and still saves energy.

Thanks for the good review.
Yeh the Frontosa's still kinda small about 3 inches. They does be most of the time on the bottom of the pond.
Setup located in Valsayn.
Nah, I sure it have other people here with good pond setups.

[rmtuner]

I recently did a Marine Tank.
So I go post some pics for that soon.
Only a 4ft tank, so can't really put too much fishes.

djblademan you should do a poll for best pond and aquarium setup.

[Rebelb14]

Saw some small bala sharks and a another kind didnt ketch the name of in Nu Image Pet shop in valpark shopping plaza. As well as some huge laying Discus (they wanted 1500 for the pair) had some smaller ones for 125 each.

The sharks looked nice I really need to set up my aquariums so i cud buy variations whenever i see them.

Where to get plastic barrels, preferably the small ones?

[kurpal_v2]

Question to the owners of Saltwater Tanks...

What invertebrates do you'll have and where did you get them???

[dmitc]

Seahorses, are there any freshwater ones and if so where can i get?
if not where can i get the saltwater ones and how do i go about setting up a salt water tank?

[joashmgn]

hmmmmm... lemme clarify my question... I'm about to embark on my Saltwater project and am looking for a source for my "cleanup crew"...

any suggestions???

[ziggy_dappa]

i have turbo snails and hermit crabs for my CUC but beware then knock over anyhting that they can move, if u dont provide bigger empty shells for the hermits to move into as they grow they will kill the turbo snails for theirs , and if they get hungry then sumtimes pick off yur coraline algea.
u can also look into gettin a cleaner shrimp or a sand sifting goby to keep the sand stirred.(but these are ah bit more expensive and shud be added when the tank is a bit more established).

[joashmgn]

where did you get the turbo snails and where can i source the cleaner shrimp??? those are the exact two i was looking for...

post some pics of your tank please... looking for more ideas...

[ziggy_dappa]

raj has everything..
am gona add some more live rock to my aquarium this week after that i will take sum pics an post em.

what kinda system, u planin on seting up? (tank size , filtration, lighting etc )
am guessin it gonna be a fish only tank for now.

[HondaB20B]

Seahorses, are there any freshwater ones and if so where can i get?
if not where can i get the saltwater ones and how do i go about setting up a salt water tank?

REALY THINK OF WHAT YUH SAY THERE.....................

[joashmgn]

FOWLR...

Tank size: 100G (72"x18"x18")

Filtration: Either 2 sumps or 1 sump & 1 refugium, 2 DIY Bucket Filters with Oyster Shells, Protein Skimmer.

Lighting: Flourescent fixture (Dual 4 ft. and 2 2ft.) Haven't decided on the bulbs yet but the Dual 4ft is daylight and the 2 2ft for moonlight...

Right now i have the tank set up minus the skimmer and sumps/refugium as a cichlid tank but i'm looking to change it all out... enter real fishkeeping...
