Rusty, Generally when someone takes the time and effort to reply and help on these forums, it would be considered good etiquette to say thank you. :wink: I have always waited until the end of a thread and then thanked all who replied. This is the way I have always done things and have never encount...

Yes we realised the need for increased current a little while ago, we are working on this. Just another word of advice: as well as working on increasing the current in your tank, you could do with working on your manners too. Regards, Emma Excuse me? Was that entirely nescessary? I don't feel like ...

Haha, fair enough.

Well try giving him an egg as a treat sometime then, it'll keep him occupied for a while trying to figure out how to crack it open.

Either that or knock it enough so it just starts leaking, and leave him to it.

Ah, sounds like a ferret.

Has he been stealing your eggs yet? Ferrets simply love chicken eggs.

Hmm, I could fit a 600l/ph HOB filter to the edge of the aquarium, whilst giving far less l/ph, the water would run through 2 stages of filtration, giving me 2 colonies of bacteria. = slower current, more even current of water, double filtration, less things to hide inside the tank. I'm liking it. I...

That's a rather clever idea.

And then take the inlet sponge off, and connect the piping to that. Very clever indeed, i'll look into that.

I think of corry groups like this: Same species are like family, mixed species are like friends. I have about 40 Cories. THey all hang out together. There are about 8 species. I try not to keep any with less than 5 of a specific species. The more the merrier. Just like Rusty said, they need a group...

Hey all, well I bought these lil guys about 2 months ago, they were incorrectly labelled as marble loaches. I have a group of 4 of them, and they live in a well planted aquarium with low current but pretty decent aeration, and they seem perfectly happy, they're moving around 90% of the time, topping...

The lines aren't defined enough for them to be Trilineatus or Julii. And it has no spot on its dorsal fin. They are most likely Sterbai. It is also shown by the spotting on the head, leading to more maze like lines along the body. Trilineatus has the maze design on its head , as does Julii, and both...

Ever tried putting dirty fish water in his bottle?

Tank volume: 48" x 12" x?? Might be about 45-55 (American) gallons. = 170-200 liters. Power heads 480lph x 2 = 960 lph So... between 4-5x the tank volume per hour. Less, if you attach the venturis. This is unneeded, and seriously interferes with the power head efficiency. This is way UNDER powered....

Do you think 2x 480lph powerheads would be too powerful?
