    Cheerz brain for your reply, didn't look like i was going to get one at first. I think the problem lay with a new discus purchase that must have brought a disease along with it. Matt

    Dwarf Cichild....?

    Dwarf cichlids are small, especially the females, how big is your tank? Also Dwarf cichlids from South america prefer very soft acidic water. A few Species for you to look at are; Dicrossus filamentosus Apistogramma agassizi Apistogramma cacatuoides Apistogramma bitaeniata Apistogramma pebas...

    SA Bio type ideas?

    Hi, The Utricularia gibba was easy to identify, as were the roots from the java ferns, it looked more along the lines of a dying moss. Everything else is planted in and looking great so far, also started the cultures off late last night. Cheerz Matt

    Practical Fishkeeping 14l Nano offer?

    The problem with this is they are limited to the 1st 500 subscriptions. When i rang and spoke to them they told me they could not guarantee that i would get one. They also didnt offer anything else if i was unlucky, seems a bit unfair that they get the sub znd were left hoping for a tank.

    SA Bio type ideas?

    Thanks George. I had basically the same theme in mind using one big trunk like piece of bogwood in the center, a few pieces running off that of a more 'root' like design to each side of the tank,then alder cones and leaf litter on the bottom along with sand substrate. I may even put in a 3D...
