no not really when you have a tank full of fish that can run to thousands you have to have some knowledge of keeping fish.

I kept marines for quite a few years and had a lovely copperband that fed from my hand, I did a water change one day due to not having a protein skimmer in the system that would take the yellow colour out of the water and I lost the full tank full of fish :(
the water hadn't come from the usual source as was too hard, I should of checked before doing it



woooh snowie, i must be on the wrong site!!

Yeah, I read that after the mother-in-law purchased 2 goldfish for Persian New Year (it's a tradition over there). I came back home to find them swimming in a vase full of Evian. The Iranians would've chucked them to the cats after a couple of weeks, but I like fish, and the kids were keen, so we opted for the tank.

2 goldfish from the Iranian supermarket - €1.40
1 tank plus filter, plus gravel/plants/the rest - €250

...and counting

looks a nice set up but your heater in the pic is upright and the warmth of the heater will of turned on and off too much ideally it should be at 45 deg central to the length of the tank.

what filtration have you, also is it connected to protein skimmer or uv light for marine ?


Yeah in the summer, the tank is always a tad too high so I don't really want the heater being too efficient as it will see the temp sore well past 90f! It's not a marine tank and I'm only ever so slightly over-filtering, :( for the 450 litre pond I will be looking to have something really powerful.

Can't believe the prices some of the exhibition fish are sold for.

Guy I used to know from my days in the darts and dommies team at the Castle kept coy carp in a swimming pool in his garden. Used to love coming back from the pub after a few ales and watching the fish on a summer's night.

I kid you not Snowie, it's gonna be a tropical pond! I'm going to house the 3 Pangasius ID sharks I have now but I'll be on the look-out for the king of all fish - Paroon Shark! :BOW:

My current tank is 240l so I'll just transfer the water and maybe most of the poop out of the filter into the new filter.

My wife keeps pestering me to get a cold water Sturgeon though :(

I killed off my first ever aquarium due to lack of patience - got everything set up, filled it with water and introduced fish 24 hours later - I was horrified to watch them all die off over the following few days.

If I'm remembering it right - nitrite levels spike dramatically as fish produce waste and the cultures in your filter media are not sufficiently established to break it down (into nitrates - is that right Snowie?) The result is that your fish get poisoned by their own shiz, which can't be pleasant.
