We use Algarde airline connectors tapped directly into a drilled hole in the main air feed, this gives a very tight fit and we don't get any leakage. We can then use whatever air valves we see fit (although again, we normally use Algarde).

Re: The "Jools' new fishroom post"
He looks like his mum. That boy has certainly grown in about 9 months time. Quite a change since we last saw him.
Were you comfortable with him "catching" the fish?

Re: The "Jools' new fishroom post"
He actually managed to catch two of them, but they are not too hard to catch with a big net in a container and he was more pushing it around than anything else. He's only allowed in the fishroom with Daddy and most of the time tied into a chair. Otherwise I have to watch him like a hawk, even so, he has still managed to "post" a pleco cave torch into aquatic doom.

Re: The "Jools' new fishroom post"
A quick pictoral tour of some of the fish in Jools fishroom, I spent a few days after the CSG Convention, was good fun.
Certainly far from being all the species in the fishroom but you get a taste of what goes on in there.
Mind you, some did manage to follow me home to Canada. And still going strong Birger

Thanks Birger, those are great! Nice to know that yet another fishroom has been "infected" by Scottish cherry shrimp.

Re: The "Jools' new fishroom post"
Two pairs and after some digging around apparently my water conditions are more suitable...luckily.
Did the conditions at time of capture get recorded...apart from temperature?

Re: The "Jools' new fishroom post"
Unfortunately not. We do have several pics of the location. As the water was slow flowing and coming through a palm swamp I would guess it to have been slightly acidic (maybe 6.5) and fairly soft.Did the conditions at time of capture get recorded...apart from temperature?

Re: The "Jools' new fishroom post"
Nope, but here is me collecting them (see also Uganda thread). Blackish water, little current, heavy vegetation maybe 6" of water and at least the same in mud and leaf litter.Birger wrote:Did the conditions at time of capture get recorded...apart from temperature?
