Got my first Arowana today! Albino Silver, yet to name him/her! Added another wild Moba to my collection today too.

Considering a trio of FW stingrays atm. I think I need to fresh up my hobby as I’ve only got the one tank/species in it. I think I’ll get them (P. Scobina).

It’s been some time. It has been an extremely busy time for me since the last update. I lost all but one of the eggs, I’m unsure if this was due to fungus or if the eggs were unfertilised. I have 1x F1 fry currently growing out, still consuming its egg sack. I’m FINALLY satisfied with my...

Definitely, that’s the only reason I want to pursue this. Improve our hobby for everyone :D Haha definitely more lucrative, that’s for sure. I’ll try smuggle a rare Discus strain for you ;)

Due to the clear lack of Rift nerds this side of the pond, I thought I’d share some news on here :D I will begin my masters degree in environmental sciences in September ‘24. With a clear focus on water, this programme will enable me to learn a lot about freshwater environments in an academic...

Most expensive? I’ve spent £100 per fish on most of my wild Gibberosa colony. But most expensive for one setup? I guess I’ve spent at least £1.5K on my current colony?

The 160L would also be rimless. It’s more that the white Flex cabinet matches the bedroom decor a lot more. Even then I’d still use a lid on a rimless.

I’m so sorry, I thought I replied but I think didn’t press post! I didn’t. I have some on-hand, but I’m almost certain it’s expired. the tumbler is in my sump too and I’m sure if I added it, it would’ve stained my sump too. I don’t think I lost the eggs due to fungus, I think they were...

I’ll keep this concise. Third floor bedroom, I want an aesthetically pleasing aquarium that’s productive with fry. Aquarium Option 1: Fluval Flex 123L with the particleboard Flex Cabinet. This matches the room aesthetic & the integrated filtration system sounds good. Stand isn’t the best...

The joists run left to right, so length ways. Unfortunately, I’m terrible when it comes to knowing building structures, but I’ve been asking my dad’s friend (he helped build the house). I’m more concerned about an aquarium failure than the floor not holding, water on the floor is my worst...

I’m moving into the third floor of our home. I have an 8.5ft wall that has plenty of space for an aquarium and I’m considering my options. I don’t want to go too big as I have my large aquarium in the kitchen. I’m thinking something between 40-80G (US), roughly 160-300Ls. Unfortunately, I...

I just started Clarkson’s Farm yesterday. I’m on annual leave from work, so I’m hoping to binge watch it :D It’s really good/funny! Totally recommended.

Thank you, thought unfortunately, I think I’m tumbling unfertilised eggs. Almost all of them seem to be growing white patches and I’m sure when I check them later today, they’ll all be white. Do you have any advice on conditioning them & triggering a spawn?

500G acrylic full of wild Cyphotilapia, maybe even larger. Species only biotope with a 3d background & 3d rockwork. Fully sumped with auto water change setup. One day, right? :D

Speaking of labels… Does it count if you label your smart plugs & then put them in order to correspond with the outlet?:oops:

Thank you! Initially, I intended to include some hardscape, but this colony spend a lot of time near the bottom of the aquarium. I didn’t want to take valuable space up. An open water setup makes maintenance a lot easier & my water column stays crystal clear 24/7! Maybe a video is due? ;)

Added a battery-back up air pump to my sump & cleared a section in the kitchen cupboard for my essentials. I’ve been meaning to install the air pump for months and I’m at peace now I’ve done it. Whenever I leave for extended periods of time, I’ll move the air stones into the main display for...

I was hooking up an air pump to my sump & when I looked at all my cables, I thought this might be a fun topic! Here’s mine, I think of them as organised chaos ;) How are yours? :D

On Friday, I had my first spawn from this wild colony. The female gave me 2 eggs, which I stripped on the same day. In a perfect world, I’d have another aquarium set up to move the female into her own nursery. She gave me 26 eggs, 2 of which have turned white today & been removed, you can see...

I’d say do Haps or Mbuna, not both. Completely different diets & whilst most Mbuna species are rock dwellers, lots of Haps are open water. Some Aulonocara & Utaka are rock-dwellers, but again their diet is very different to Mbuna.
