it is by far the oldest tank I got. My number 2 is gotten around the year 2000, and most were bought after 2004

cf means conform, that is, 'looks similar as' Apparently P angularis is not the only specieslooking this way, there are more fishes looking this way. But these are not P angularis, or it is not (yet) confirmed they are P angularis. I think these fishes have some characteristic which is not typical f...

I don't think there is such a thing as too much flow for a current loving fish.

You could house it in an Eheim, and it would be happy. No way you can arrange that kind of flow in a tank

Once I read a definition for fast current. The water is supposed to move 1.25 meters a second. Quite likely, this was adapted from 4 feet a second (1.22 m). After some calculations, I found this is the speed the water has in a filtertube: An Eheim 2028 pro II, moving 1000 liters an hour through 18 m...

It seams to be back again

I have a tank which was build in 1988, that is it is now 28 years.

But it is not in use now. I emptied it last year, not because the tank is so old, but because it was inconveniently placed

Unfortunately, the page does show, but going any further does not work.

It would be a pity if the website were not to return

Many people from Poland come to NL, Greek. We have a shop, Utaka in Amersfoort, which has offered recently WF Brachydanio rerio. They have a lot of interesting fishes from Asia, and will never sell fishes which are deformed, or altered. Michael, the ower, is too much a hobbyist like we all are. Perh...

Are Your Danios WF? That's interesting (I assume WF = well fed), and I was wondering if they eat eggs, larvae and fry! I am pretty sure they do, and I was meaning to move them to another tank. I loosely connected the two tanks (with a syphon and very slow pump) to get it ready, and that's where the...

Is there any kind of directory that lists houseplants both safe and unsafe for aquaria? I would not even hope for it. Not many people are interested in using terrestrial plants in their tank. What you might do, is look at a site for new parents, after all some house plants are poisonous, and parant...

While Diana knows a lot about fishes, I'm afraid she's slightly off in this regard. The thing is, , CO2 does dissolve very well. further, in an unplanted tank, there is no shortage of CO2 in the water. She's right in pointing out plants don't grow very fast under water, but do so above water, but I ...

So, chanses are high my Parabotia are coming from the area of Rhinogobius xianshuiensis one of the few I can know where they come from - an area or river named xianshui The Chinese area xianshui is form the north of Shanghai, in fact it lies on the same lattitude of the south tip of South Korea Xian...

Looking on the internet for Parabotia species, I see these originate from te area Hongkong and Vietnam in the south, up to Shanghai and further. Books on fishkeeping give, for subtropical fishes, as a rule far too high temperatures. I keep fish from Montevideo, Uruguay, where tha average temp all ye...

Thank you While I do agree a tiny little fish can become a monster, and therefore one should take care when buying unknown fish, I think I will manage I already expected them to be subtropical - R wui is subtropical too, but I happen to be expecially active with subtropical fishes. I got 9 tanks whi...

In October, I visited a fishshop, and they had a nice group of loaches. I went home with 6 They were imported among a group of Rhinegobius Wui, but clearly they are not. a few pictures: http://s6.photobucket.com/user/bas12345/media/portret.jpg.html?filters[user]=4949418&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0 ...
