I have had 6 Ortho's in a tank with out a cover. In my experiance the way they will get out is via the h.o.b. filter if you don't have a cover on the filter. Although I have not had any issues as sugested before a cover would be better than no cover.

I talk to Ned on that a few yrs ago he said he never saw them on a list since then. From the discription he gave me I lean to them being the real thing.

They are the fish that got me into loaches. Once I have the budget I will have a group.

Jim the L. disparis are the sp. was thinking of

Jim unfortunatly not yet this is 4th time I have seen them do this. (First time cammera had a charged battery lol). But with their tank mates odds are slim to find fry. I will be moveing the tank mates today, with earlier spawns I did not have the tank space to move them. Jim I forget get what sp yo...

Mine tend not to be that shy. I still haven't figured out how to post pic here yet. I do have a thread at AC, with pics of mine.

Jones the tank would be a free fall, and like you said a different creature. Thank you for the links. It has been years since I had to do any kind pump of these aplications, and even then it was more installing for me it was already figured out before it got to me. Is there a way of calculation for ...

I have 6 in a 75 gallon which I have a similar happenings with mine. I have 3 that take turns but 2 of the 3 are almost constant. Although 3 mentioned are the middle 3 of the 6, 2 are larger and 1 smaller. It never goes as far as they get stressed from, it but similar in behavior. So the 2 more as m...

Thank you Diana haven't decided on size of pump or even tank size yet. But what I am wishing to do is similar to a saltwater gravity overflow filter system with modifications. To do a high amount of water flow I have to find how much water I need to drop from the main tank into the filter tank to ma...

First want to say HI all been it has been awhile. :D


Is there a formula for how much water flows through a certain size pipe. I have a overflow idea for a river tank. Need to know how many or what size pipe for the pump. Size of pump yet to be decided due to tank size still in question.
