Tropical Fish

I have been to them all now bar bolton and I have to say your original assesment was spot on for every single one.... I need to try bolton... I remeber a hundred years ago when I had tropical fish ...I had a ruby shark and now i cant find one...

Gotta find the bolton shop this weekend


got 5 zebra, 5 little thingy cant recall name.. tetra maybe? and three tiny tropical frogs.... now need catfish leech and couple of others... the zebra fish rule the tank and need putting in there place :)

I thought you weren't going to bother with those ;) They are well cute. :D You've got to watch for some of the bigger fish nipping there legs off though :( which isn't good!
 
I didnt realise how small they where. I thought you meant a tank with just frogs type thing ...kids love these... trying to spot all 3 at once is the current game... then seeing them stand like statues.. shoot to top and back down.. comical they bump into the wood etc in there attempt to get back down quick.. then they go back into hiding .. good stuff:)

Haa thats why there tentative and cautious all the time.. and all I have are fish smaller than them ATM ... hmmm
 
My angel fish was the worst for keep trying to pinch their legs, big bully! The crabs would have a go too if they got to close.

When they go missing they're usually hiding up behind the heater or filter on the side of the tank. ;)

How did you find the one at Carr's in comparison to the rest?
 
Not going anywhere near angel fish.. I remeber them from last time.. Julie has been looking up which are aggresive, semi or none aggressive fish so keeping away from the worse


the one on carrs is poor.. certainly not as good as the one in harwood that was only let down by poor staff. having looked at the bolton ones website i am looking forward to going there... cant buy any more fish until weekend though so will have to wait it out :)

Hmmm it's really changed since we last kept fish and I have to agree, although they've cleaned it up a lot, it is rather poor now. I'll take a look to the Harwood one soon, see if that's improved. I never rated that one highly before.
 
any pics of your fish kipax...also with the frogs do they just go in with the fish??? never had any of them before but they sound good......do they just live in the water constantly or do they need somewhere to perch out of the water??
 
Frogs stay at bottom of tank... hide a lot of time... very small.. every now and then they dart to top and back down again... very quick... to get air presumably :)

Going to Bolton on Sunday for more fish
 
kool where did you get them from????? a few of my neon tetra died other night so going to have water tested again this weekend to see if theres anythiung wrong with it but none of the others are suffering so dont expect anything will be wrong.....been told my a friend that it could be the stress of a new tank etc could have killed them ???
 
Yes I do believe stress can be a killer.. I got these from the petshop round the corner from me here in accy.
 
i can believe how expensive bogwood is though

25 quid for a piece of wood that soemoen is selling for £3 plust £4p+p!!

quite a few fishes on ebay - found out last nite! anyone ordered any off them? i'm thinkin of gettin soem more shrimps from there cherry shrimps
 
but i'm glad that gt harwood store made u guys feel unwanted

i was gettin para it was just me!! *L*

Awwww great picture of the frog kipax, i wish mine had survived hence gave up tropical & now cold water. They are so good to watch specially if you have a few of them.
 
OMG! We went to the Harwood one today WOW! What an improvement! Sorry if I ramble here but I was well impressed (small things amuse small minds and all that :D)

Those 2 gorgeous sharks! That giraffe catfish and those rays. :D

They had a good selection of tank fish to. I like those elephant knife fish, they were weird :)

Looking forward to having my tank up and ready now!
 
yes the harwood one is great in that respect ... wait until you want someone to serve you them fish though... you will be lucky if you get someone who actually treats you like they want your custom..

lets get a minibus to bolton and we can all go hahaha.. only kidding.. i am passing on sunday so i am going... 400 tanks ??? wow
 
next thing u know we'll be asking for a group discount at blackpool seaworld

*oh god i'm planting ideas into peoples heads again!*

kipax - what foot tank is that? a 5?
 
optical illusion mani.. its a 4 but only 15 inch high.. i think the norm is 18 high.... looks longer like this..

Already julie haer her eye on one of those big square like tanks in purpuse built cabinet..... i ahve unleashed a tropical fish monstor :)
 
to be honest i do want a corner monster tank myself - maybe a marine one this time around but they're damned expensive and imagine tryna reach in and clean that sucka

but there's a few things i'd do differently if i started a 2nd tank - put in a decent back ground one of them 3d ones they look awesome.

and undergravel filter...
