Re: I think Loricariidae ? Pterygoplichthys

Agreed on the Jose, We have one that looks almost identical where I work. Looks to be about the same size aswell.

How much would you expect

to find a 7-8 inch Pseudacanthicus Spinosus for?

A customer brought one into our shop, and we're not sure how much to sell it on for.

Cheers for any help,
Ollie

alternative filter media

Hi,
Quick (Slightly silly) question, but could I substitute a different media for the stuff already in my filter?

Eg Cotton wool, or a car sponge?

Thanks,
Ollie

In the pictures of the Rio 240, what is the small fish with the red area on the fins and small red stripe on its flank?

UK Freshwater fish species list?

Anyone know a good site with a comprehensive Freshwater fish species database? I'm looking for a fish I found in a stream north of Worcester, falsely names as a bull headed loach by the Wildlife Trust helper that came with us.

Re: Deciding on a new tank to buy

Interesting.

MatsP, could you recommend an external filter for this volume of water? Bearing in Mind my tank isn't going to be the messiest of tanks, im considering a shoal of Harlequin rasboras, and a BN pl*c as the complete stock list.

Re: Deciding on a new tank to buy

I was considering that route actually, but I think I'd rather go with a kit setup, and learn a bit more about the hardware of aquariums, specifically lighting and external filters, e.g What models to go for, how to set them up, etc. But I'm sure as i'll be working in a fish shop, i'll learn that sor...

Re: Properly Cooking the veggies/Other foods

I find that cutting a 4-5mm ring of cucumber, cutting it down the diameter, and then putting both halves one on teaspoon and leaving it on the bottom usually works for any friends plecos that don't get treated well!
