Re: My fish tank

I feed my plec algae waffers...

Only a couple of £ for a decent size tub..

Also, try a wedge of cucumber for your plec. Got that bit of advice from my local fish shop & a tropical fish forum

Re: My fish tank

Also I just thought I'd mention...

Most plecs (this includes L and LDA numbers) require a certain chemical known as Lignin which aids digestion. This is found in bogwood so make sure that you provide a small piece.

Re: My fish tank

Oooh, yeah. That's what we had in the tank when I was wee. Goin to get a bit this week.
Have decided not to get mollies, apparently they don't do so well in communitly tanks.
So starting off with platys then guppies then plec and gourami, then tetras. I think. Lol!

We have Platys, guppies, dwarfe gourami, neon and rummy nosed tetras and a bulldog plec, they look lovely together and cos they live at different levels in the tank they really fill it up nicely.

Re: My fish tank

Cool that sounds really nice, have you got a pic?
That's another reason I have gone for the fish I have, as I know that guppies mostly like the top, Plecs at the bottom, Dwarf gouramis Ive seen are kinda bottom to middle and tetras are kinda middle to top is that right? Lol
I love the colours of guppies I am going to get a red and a blue dwarf gourami.

I can't take good pics of my tank, every time I try I just get reflection from the flash, if I ever work out how to use the camera I'll try again . Bulldog plecs are good because they don't grow very big and they don't cost a fortune.

Re: My fish tank

Ooh, great. I love plecs but when I lived in Glasgow, when my plec got too big I took him to the pet shop where I worked and swapped him for a little one. There was a regular customer who had loads of massive tanks in his 'aquarium room' and he usually took the bigger plecs but I can;t do that now.


Wait until its darkish, put the light in your tank on, turn the flash off?

Re: My fish tank

yeah, mine are a bit too, need to get a bit more gravel as there isn't quite enough for the plants to root into, but I'm just going to get some of my cousins rather than fresh stuff, hers has been set up the same amount as mine, we are looking forward to getting fish!
