It's an LDA33 (Big white spot)

Well impressed. Managed to persuade the old man to pay for it. Cost me £45 with discount!

 

what the fook is giving you that blue background effect. looks nice as.

 

back ground is just a shit load of air!

Nice plec!

new practical fish keeping be out soon! just printed it!!

 

It's a black background with an actini blue light (and an air curtain running along the back) The sand is Tihitian Moon Sand.

 

You work there or something or you got an on-line version?

Have to pop out and get it.

I must admit it's nice to have a hobby that doesn't break every week and doesn't have to go away for 6 months at a time

 

good beaches last time i went
couldnt resist

 

Nah i work at the printers that makes the mag!

also new this month!

we started printing revs! (yay! not!) we also do red line,auto car,what car,what car price guide! loads of mags...loads of motor bike ones!

 

Here is mine.
Just started off so the fish are not tooooo exciting yet.

 

looks nice mate! I've got a red platy. Gravel looks cool

James - cool! so do you get spare copies then!?

 

yeah! except red line (there ya go renton)...lol....sent stu like 6 or 8 months of practical fish keeping! good copy this month too! onyl thign is i dont have a tank and iut really makes me want one! want to do an mbuna set up!! but dont think i can have a 4ft tank on the top floor of a block of flats!!

 

nice plec mate!! i have a plec called a real stripey its yellow and has black lines through it like a zebra.

what you feeding it cucumber??

 

nice looking plec,

mine loves cucumber stays on it for hours lol

and then scuttles off to his bit of terracota little fooker

 

It's Courgette. He's straight out when I put that in!

xr2fatturbo - do you know what L number it is?

Going to get a new tank come January. 350Litre corner tank

 

Nice Plec

Where do you buy your fish?

Wickford Aquatics
Swallow Aquatics (Wickford)
Wet Pets (Romford)
Tranquility (Chadwell Heath/Ilford)

??

 

It think its proper name is "nigrolineatus panaque" or similiar.

I used to have one with blue eyes but my dumb piranhas ate it.

 

I love that Plec... thats cool

Ive just lost my gold nugget plec, this is the 3rd one ive lost over the years, all the same, seem to live for a few month then die for no apparent reason. The tropical guru's amongst you will know theres very little known about these and they are notoriously hard to keep, yet my sister had 2 for 5yrs

 

I recall the "panaque" is teh "Blue eyed plec" and is next on my personal shopping list now ive got the royal plec

 

yep unfortunately I found out about that after I got this one. He's from the same family "Baryancistrus"

Fingers crossed anyway. Seems happy and is eating well. Good thing is I left him at the shop for 2 weeks so if there were any major problem it would have happened there. I read some people say they have a "Self destruct gene" which can happen after transport. (Obviously it's not actually a gene, but a way of saying it lol)

 

iused to have 4 red belly piranha's and used to feed it allsorts of fish including plecs and guppys, even bought em a big fook off goldfish once and they only got half way through it and i had to throw the rest away

given it away now tho - it was too cannabalistic

 

Bought a new tank yesterday, took me and Smit all afternoon to put the fooker together and over an hour to fill it from the hose pipe

 

I dont know how much you know about fishkeeping, but teh golden rule from now on is "bide your time" dont rush adding fish or it will be along downward sloe from here on in....

Sorry if you know this already, just thought it worth mentioning, and theres a big post on here somewhere about teh nitrogen cycle to keep you entertained

 

Pete - it getting clear yet boyo

Stu - The fookin tank is huge! holds nearly 400 litres

 

Starting to clear Smit

 

looks a fook sight better!

warming up aswell?

 

Its getting there, up to 20 now, still not reached the green section of the thermometer

 

but has still doubled in tempurature

the green section is 70 something isn't it

 

Nah it aint that high Smit, think you re confusing it with the other side of the bar

 

that tank looks wicked, cant wait to get my own place to get one now

 

We didn't see our Plec, in the office tank for months, as he kept hiding in his log, then he appeared and he's hoooooooj

I keep large fancy goldfish in a Juwel Rio 240 - we had to fill that up with the hose. It took ages to clear but to help it cycle I used the old filter out of my previous tank at the same time and it seemed to work - no one died

These are my favourite Rummynose Tetras, who live with the goldfish, (as fancy goldfish like slightly warmer temps)
What the goldfish haven't realised yet is that the Tetras will fit in their mouths and they could eat them


This is my big Lionhead - he is the best



This is Gill doing a swan dive


This is Eggfish - who is apparently unusual being a white Oranda???


and this is where they live

 

what filters u running mate??? As it shouldnt take long to clear a tank that size!!!

 

Dude move your speaker!! the fish will go mental! also is that a sword on top of ya unit?!

 

Demon Dave - Filter is a Fluval 304, its just a bit cloudy now, almost cleared



James - Hardly use the stereo and as for the Sword, where??

 

What size tank is it mate. As I run a 404 and an under gravel system with to maxi jet power heads!

 

Its only 4 foot long

 

not sure what L number it is' ill get some piccy's of her as soon as the little bugger decides to come out from hiding!!

street sleeper like the cold water set up you have there looks nice!

fishkeeping is a great hobby!!!!

 

i will get a pic of my 1.5 ft spiney eel lup when i find my cam

 

what are the other dimensions mate??? It looks like 18" high and 12" deep??


Dave

 

Goddamn Dave you re good

 

didn't level out the gravel very well did i
