Well both!!!!! No if you want a HUGE tank in your living room , you will have to look at checking your flooring to see if it can hold the extra litres of water for your aquaium

[spawn008]

if it holds me...it can take the tank hahahah

[ODB]

ever tried to lift a full 120l tank?

This thread has made me realise what a bunch of sadistic and cruel fucks you CSers are!!! lol

I have a tank freshwater tropical.

Got a few golden barbs, neons, silver dollars, sucker fish thingys and various others.

Most brutal thing thats went on in my tank is me forgetting to feed them for a week.

you guys have any idea on how a siamese fighter ( or pair male and female) would get on in a tank with 4 goldfish and 2 angelfish? the gold fish are about 4 times the size of them and the angel fish are the same size if not a bit bigger

-smurff

[ODB]

we had some siamese fighters and found the other fish pecked at the males tail all the time.

Females were fine.

Id avoid keeping the males to be honest dude, unless they are in a small tank solo

you will have lotsa probs with them fighting.....angels will wanna fight for dominance against the siemese

[Guest]

ahhh that might explain the marks on the side of one of the big gold fish, thought he could have just got himself on the thing in the tank, but maybe hes been attacked by the angel fish

I had a saltwater tank a about 4 years ago but I left it when I did the runners on the ex :

My mate had one two, his was a large one about 120lt. Had a saltwater eel and a box fish. Was suposed to feed the eel

prawns but it never ate them so we gave it goldfish instead. Was pretty brutal. One time it grabed the goldfish and started banging its head against the side of the tank.

He tried to stick in some nemo fish too, but the eel just ate them.

hahaha we use to feed goldfish to our turtles. they went nuts for them.

lol we feed goldfish to my axelotles

got a white/clear and a black/moldy one

[ODB]

angelfish are supposed to be kept only with other angelfish afaik.

thats whats happening to your goldfish.

[Guest]

so there territorial? or is it just when there hungry or something?

-smurff

[ODB]

no they are just downright aggressive.

I think you are supposed to have them in schools of like 6 and nothing else in the tank apart from maybe a big bottom feeder.

[Guest]

hhmmm. . . wonder if have two different schools of fish and they could kinda have gang fights

True that my old ladys got an angel that attacks & eats her other fish even the red tail shark (actual name i dont know) gets bits of it bitten from it & it is some kind of fighting fish too.

they also fight for territory if the tank is not big enough

the name for the shark is.....red tail black shark.....

because angels are such slow moving fish...most of the time.... as long as u hv fast moving eg neons that constantly on the move...its ok..ish...

friend had guppies and angels..... guppies go bye bye all the time

[spawn008]

Pleco, Blue Gourami, Dwarf Gourami, Larger Tetras, Bala Shark are all good tank mates for angels...

basically as long as it dont fit in its mouth..you should be ok.....

just a matter of whom is more dominant in the tank.....

[Guest]

hhmmm. . . will have to have a talk to the gold fish, sounds like there bing soft

we had goldfish but want to go tropical as there easier to clean we need a heater and new lights.

its sad when they just sit in the corner.

[spawn008]

im assuming its an empty tank?

[QRAF]

um yeah fish died

[spawn008]

switched from gravel to sand substrate on Sunday.... SOOOOO much better... takes a bit more time when cleaning/vacuuming but on the other hand...easier to clean

[Guest]

were did you get ur sand from? ive been putting off doing it, just to lazy lol

-smurff

[spawn008]

bought a 25kg bag of silica sand from hollywood fish farm

silica has been treated so doesnt affect ph levels

and really didnt need cleaning/rinsing before use either

[spawn008]

and it was 20 for 25kg bag

[Guest]

I have this for sale. Everything included....tank, fish, pumps etc currently in KeriKeri
