I have used the same method as @Newby, however to prevent massive splintering / breaking, stick masking tape to the front of the mirrors (cover...
I must just add the one other variable - type of heater! I had 2 x 300w cheapies in my 500L (@29C) and they struggled in winter. Now I have the...
Just been on Hellopeter.com (part of the work I do), and you should see the complaints on there about the magic fish - imagine that, first timers...
I have seen a couple of mentions, but have not yet seen any available in SA - Albino Discus strains - not particular about which strains....
I have used simple black plastic vinyl, cut a couple of strips to create a branched effect, and stuck it directly to the top of my glass lids...
So moral of the story is to keep a couple of weak fish and a couple of "strongish" fish that will survive a week or two, then act as a midway...
How scary is this article on news24 - goldfish in New Zealand that survived for 134 days without food!...
As @SalmonAfrica says, I have several filocks (Albino, Bronze, Schwartzii, Pandas and Peppered) - ranging from 4 to 8 per school in my 1000L. They...

Welcome Back Ernst! I always pack a couple of packs of Biltong when I travel - don't know how you survived! P.S. Clowns are doing very well -...
Well done Gents!
If you are heading through Bangkok, go to the Chatuchak market (weekend market) - they have a large fish area and have some great tanks etc. I...
Just a quick add on - the good news is that I have (had) wrigglers! A pair had formed between a red turq male and a Cobalt Blue female some time...
@JungleAquatics had them for just under R500 each (cheapest that I found in JHB - if you know someone in Germany, you may get them a little cheaper).
As Happy Fish says, I use a Jager 300W for my 1000L (at 29C for my Discus) - I have a cheapie as back up set at 28C in case the Jager fails (and...
As a reletive newbie to the Discus fraternity, I would completely agree with @Marco. After just over a year I have learnt to get my Discus from...
I agree with @Zoom, why do you need single degree accuracy? If you keep discus, make sure it is above 28C, if you are keeping a community, keep it...
Yes - the stocking with the peat granules in it is inside my filter (after filter floss, before charcoal) - you have to keep an eye on it because...
From my experience and reading, adding carbon in addition to peat moss in a filter, will only remove the tannins (while having no effect on the pH...
Hi Ernst, I would definitely be interested in these guys - they look to be in good condition. I have 4 similar sized Clowns and 4 Zebra botias...
