I'm in the process of converting 3 20L side by side tanks into habitat tanks for 3 breeding couples/fry tanks

If anyone in interested, I can customise them to a specific species preference/specific region preference...

And they fit side by side perfectly (One heater needed on each end tank, and therefore also heating the center...


Let me know if you would like me to customise these for you? I can use equiptment of yours? or provide it, depending on the price you'd like to pay...

Would much prefer to sell these as a set, they look great together.

PM me if interested, I'll upload some pics later if needed... of what the tanks look like side by side (no customisation has been inserted yet )


Cheers,
Ben - 0401 036 180 (Call me with your ideas and we can discuss them )

(I also make customised tanks, backgrounds of any size, and unusual decorations (So if interested PM me))]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:06:10 +1000 http://www.perthcichlid.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=35559 http://www.perthcichlid.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=35558

I'm thinking, what would happen if I put my heaters on timers? Say, to only come on in the evening? Or only for every other hour throughout the whole 24hr day?

I think the first option would leave the tanks to the mercy of the daytime temps and induce small temp swings, while still keeping them warm at night. The second option might just concentrate the heating into 1hr blocks?

I'm going to now turn all heaters down gradually to about 1.5~2deg below what they currently are.

What else could I do to reduce the heater power consumption?]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 03:01:46 +1000 http://www.perthcichlid.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=35550 http://www.perthcichlid.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=35549
My sister in-law is doing an honours project looking into Cryptosporidium (Crypto.) in ornamental fish and water and the probability of cross infection into humans. Cryptosporidium is a parasite that effects the intestinal tract if its host (fish or mammals or humans). Check it out here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptosporidiosis.

We are looking for interested aquarists who may have sick fish to get in touch with us. Although it's a bit morbid, these sick/dying fish will be dissected and investigated for signs of Cryptosporidium in their DNA. All test results will be made available for those who supplied the fish but will otherwise remain anonymous as per the ethical guidelines of the study.

The hope is to learn more about the genetics behind this parasite, take some high resolution photos and generally hope to add to the current scientific knowledge base. This could in the future help to provide solutions to both the aquarium trade and health arenas in relation to outbreaks of crypto.

If you want to find out more, have some helpful information or would like to donate your sick fish to the cause, please reply to this thread or PM me.

Is it old age or does he have something? His body is perfect I cant see anything suspicious.

SORRY NO PICS]]> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 19:54:35 +1000 http://www.perthcichlid.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=35543 http://www.perthcichlid.com.au/forum/index.php?showtopic=35542 I guess they hid in the thick vegetation so the adults haven't seen them. I've started to feed extra small food to keep them happy and they are looking good
I just doubled my population of Emerald Dwarf Rasboras with out even trying, I bet if I wanted them to breed they probably wouldn't
