Trial and error, hope not. My understanding was JF was a plant that most fish wouldn't nibble on.

Pics attached, its actually a lot of JF, and very nice quality too! Super happy, adds a bit more colour to the tank as the wife says (as fish alone is enough). Hopefully it'll do well.

Lol, don't know why the 1st pic is upside down. Sorry guys.

Might be an expensive meal!

I remember Alex ha a post of one of his large catteis eating a 2' jardini and spewing it out at night!

.

So on the weekend, I got myself a nice prized fish to finish off my tank collection - for now.

Hopefully it will last long term and not cause to much trouble as hes already showing a bit of interest in my rays (which has got me stumped as thought the flagtail may have been more fun to harass).

Oh, an that esky is 620mm wide, so hes quite a large fish.....

Looks good!

yeah bull rout for sure, and some archers on the top

Love the head stander! such an awesome and underrated fish. All looks good! Nice set ups.

I often take this route as Westie suggested.

Luckily the wife doesnt mind if I keep another one, as she quotes, they are 'cuties'.

Heres a sibling from last years batch I kept. If you scroll back a few pages youll see the previous pups.

This one continues to darken in the base yet brighten in the spots!

Thanks mate, 2nd batch form this pair, seem to be bigger and stronger pups which is good, couple lookers in there and decent ratio of 3 females and 2 males.

Woke up to 5 big pups this morning, absolutely perfect timing as the aquarium is moving this weekend.

Will post pics later.

over a month out from when expected but mumma ray has slowed massively on feeding and the back movement is becoming insane, really expecting pups very soon! Watch this space.

Should change the back ground to a solid black colour or dark blue. I find personally it adds a bit more depth and contrast to a tank.

I read interestingly on a stingray forum, that some people turn off all filters and sumps whilst doing a water change, then fill up the tank (with a garden hose) and chlorinate it all within th aquarium, wait 5-10minutes for the water and chlorinator to mix through etc (still having internal pumps on for water movement) and then switching the filters on. Apparently this reduces chlorines and chloramines running into filter media and killing bacteria, hence causing ammonia spikes.

I for one have been using this method lately and have noticed my water doesn't have a cloudiness it used to for a few hours after a water change, cant say it works, or if it was micro bubbles from the filters being on when the tanks half drained, but maybe try that?

Also Seachem Prime shouldn't smell fine - it should have a kind of Sulphur smell form the sodium thisulphate in it
