Hi Craig,
No I havent had a chance to make them spit as I havent found any crickets or grasshoppers nearby but they do jump out of the water to get the gambusia that I dangle just above the water >,<

I got a bunch of vallis off Graeme today they're great plants, thanks Graeme! Filled up my 3ft tank with vallis and have a clump in the 6ft but it doesnt look right somehow.. maybe needs rearranging. I also did a 1/3 water change for both tanks but during the process I had some casualties my oscar, a flame dwarf gourami, and both my rams decided to cark it maybe they dont like the water change pacu is acting weird too I'll see if i can post some photos..

PS. I can recommend something for ur nano tank Craig, are u still looking for those smallish fish? How about golden or honey dwarf gouramis? Or white clouds? They're alot hardier than neons u know.. I also have some native gobies in my tank see if you can spot them

[Casanova]

yeah, on friday i just bought a honey dwarf gourami to put in my 2.5ft tank community... he seems to be adjusting ok to the rest of the fish, seems fairly peaceful etc....

was looking for another dwarf gourami after my original one carked it a few weeks ago...

and got him for only $7 which i thought was pretty reasonable...

[VietDragon]

Hi Casanova,

U can get honey or golden dwarf gouramis from Pet Magic for $4 they're great community fish, I even have large gouramis and they never pick on smaller fish, they even get bullied around by my small crappy freshwater puffer fish :x

Craig - other small fish u can keep = galaxias minnows, rainbow threadfin, pseudomugil furcatus, endler guppies, glass chanda or any killifish I find that neons are overrated, sure they "glow" but die off too quickly, even in community tanks with no cichlids ;;

[VietDragon]

This is what the tanks look like after a makeover with Graeme's vallis


6ft - occupants: pleco x2, albino bristlenose x2, pictus x2, hoplo x1, bumblebee catfish x1, silver dollar x2, gourami x5, kribensis x5, keyhole x2, archer x3, angel x3, silver shark x2, black shark x1, green severum x2, pseudotropheus elongatus x3, clown loach x1, clown barb x1, fresh water puffer x1, red bellied pacu x1

[nic]

ur awsame tank i love it. it is so cool. i want one like that

[VietDragon]

what tank do u have then nic? is it possible for u to post some photos?

[nic]

LOL ok i will it is just a 4x18x18 malawi planted tank. not as good as urs though. 2 morrow i will post them

[VietDragon]

haha yeah im just a newbie so there's really no theme fish in my tanks, i just try to throw them all in together as community tanks, which is why i havent got any of the more aggressive cichlids

[Peckoltia]

I don't think that vallis will last long with that Pacu.

You will also need a tank upgrade for that Pacu in the not too distant future. Good luck with ya fish mate.

[SynoAngel]

A truly International tank you have there. Its a shame they require different water parameters.
