I'd keep the tank at 26.5°C if you want neons - more than that not ideal. Ember tetras are tiny and quite a nice option if you want more than 10...
If its a small tank, try not to add too many fish. Less is definitely more with rams. They like warm temperatures so I would choose fish that can...
@MariaS Thanks, yeah I'm thinking of buying a new 'Master' test kit. Have seen some people say the API kits are not all that accurate, but...
Which test kits do you guys use? I find the Tetra NH3/ NH4 kit never gives me a reading below 0.25 (ie. on edge of 'safe') - its always the same...
@MariaS Thanks, I'm kind of surprised I don't hear/read too much about them given their stated benefits. I would hope they'd save me trawling...
While on the topic of filtration, how many of you guys use UV Sterilizers? I know some are combined with filters. I don't have one in my tank...
Must have been posted at some point, but I just found this little video which I quite enjoyed over breakfast: [MEDIA] His site also has some...
Agree with @Reedfish - Bolivians a safer bet, but if its a new setup (small tank so be sure not to overstock it), the last fish to add would be 1...
@2time Thanks for that - will do some exploring. @MariaS I watch a lot of aquarium channels and tend to see it pretty often, although I suppose...
@2time Yeah it became manic but I actually went there yesterday and it wasn't bad - 25l limit per usage, but you can go back and forth from car...
Do it! But yeah, fair point. That said, lots of things start out a bit behind foreign standards though, in any field/ hobby, in SA and other...
Ah ok, was hoping for more. I'd happily wait longer for a LFS to quarantine a fish- its often done overseas so its a bit frustrating that no one...
Can anyone list any other LFS in Cape Town besides: - Sam's, Bergvliet - Perky Pets, Diep River - Pet World, N1 City - Panorama Pets, Parow -...
Anyone know the latest readings for Cape Town? I'm in Sea Point but will test soon. My tank's PH is around 6 - big piece of driftwood, and its...
@RamsRlife I know Panorama Pets (not far from Pet World N1 City) has some Apistos in stock - I was there a week ago. Not sure what type they are,...
Ok great, look forward to seeing the developments on the Golden lines (and others). Will DM you as to getting some of your rams to CT in the new...
+1 To all the compliments, super nice rams, the lot of them. I've told a couple LFS in CT to get in touch with you @Marco - not sure if any have?...
Melafix and Primafix - I always read these are go-to products for so many things and yet we don't get them anywhere in Cape Town, not sure about...
I have a single male and female Swordtail in my tank. Being a sort of cousin to Mollies, I also read that they're peaceful. The male is, and my...
Just added a new angel to my other couple youngish ones and have been going through the same exercise. Besides the obvious stuff when you google...
