djblademan, so i lookin at the rel fine sand-like substrate, some loose gravel too....right? how thick should my bed be? now, bout the actual plants. what u recommend? remember i'm a rookie at this, so i lookin at a group of plants that looks good together but a bit easy to manage. but beside the occasional trimming, any set of special treatment?

sorry bro now seeing the message.....
if yuh going cichlids go sand & well i see yuh eh like em so if jus plants & normal community tank go with gravel, preferable natrual... like from ah river bed or somthing....
& well plants could vary like the amazon swords or the jaava ferns. fox tails need some trimming.
& treatment not reall necessary but you could jus make sure its stale water o chlorine treatment, etc.


RM yuh pond nice boy! how much koi food yuh does hadda buy so dread?
let me guess its the tetra pond right?
the variety blend?


Fellas lets talk about food too!!!

I honestly say TETRA FTW!

[ziggy_dappa]

^^ thankz
i didnt know that was the name but i was there bout 2 weeks now...

[djblademan]

rmtuner tetra pond is the brand! dog chow is great for growth but its not good for an aquarium...i does dirty up d water bad bad bad....

geodude depending on wat kinda fish yuh gonna put...
if is lil guppies & small fish jus have alot of plants & throw some gravel & stuff & create alil eco systme & they should be fine.... but if is big fish or some exoctis i suggest ah filter. A bucket or something so...

Z's petshop kinda far for me & i've been to petshop boys once & he has this big a$$ arrowana in ah tank ut its not for sale ....this was about a yr back.

Ryan shiva (fishybizniz) had some nice small ones very reasonable priced...my padnah bought one think it was 175 or something sooo....very young)

I am contemplating on selling my 3 nice discus!
should i people?

[ryan99tt]

rmtuner, d dogchow does speed up growth of your fish but decreases lifespan of the fish...

djblademan, he hav that arowanna real years now, but it grow since last time i went...y yuh sellin yuh discus?

DJBLADEMAN:
I USUALLY USE THE TETRAPOND MULTI-MIX SUPPOSEDLY FOR HEALTH AND COLOUR. IT SEEMS LIKE A GOOD MIX. HOWEVER IT IS A BIT EXPENSIVE AT & $60 PER 4.9 OZ TIN. I AM GETTING THE BAG WHICH IS EQUIVALENT TO 7 TINS FOR $189. THIS WORKS OUT TO $27 PER TIN!
I WANT TO KNOW IF THE BAG IS RESEALED AND KEPT DRY IF IT CAN REMAIN FRESH FOR ABOUT 7 MONTHS. DO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE KNOW?

[kss2801]

i went by chai's yesterday. they had 2 peacock bass left at $200 each.

[ryan99tt]

kool will check dem for the peacock bass...

[djblademan]

chit8238, where you gettin this? I myself would like to buy that... but i am not sure as too the bag & the freshness...never had it so i cant tell. Even if i can get somewhere that sells the tins in cases or something.
or even how about we all who buys this type can split up & buy it or something, but seriuosly let me know where you get this... thanks.

kss2801, how big are they?
ryan99tt, like yuh buy one?

[rmtuner]

kss2801, I called chai and they say they have no more.
You sure you see bass or something else?
My uncle bought some from chai ah couple weeks ago.
Buy they were sicky.

[djblademan]

when chais get new stock in large quantity they sometimes dont quarratine them.... they jus throw them out to sell & we end up gettin the fish after they've become sick & stressed due to the shipping & the lenght of time they were under stress! Its a chance you does always take...
wat i do is buy one & see how it progresses & then i buy more if i like...(then too i live 3 mins away from them)
You hadda look carefully or when you buy em, quaraninte them yourself.

I WENT TODAY BY SUNIL'S (671-6109) IN GASTON ST, LANGE PARK, CHAGUANAS. THAT IS A FEW BUILDINGS SOUTH OF THE KISS BAKING COMPANY. I GOT THE "TETRA POND VARIETY BLEND"-DESCRIPTION:"NUTRITION TO ENHANCE COLOR & VITALITY" FOR $185 FOR A 2 1/4 LB (1020 G) BAG. THIS WORKS OUT AT 1040/140 OR 7.42 "TINS". THE EFFECTIVE UNIT PRICE PER TIN IS $25! THE USUAL PRICE FOR THIS IS $50 TO $60.

I HAD EARLIER ASKED THE FISHY BIZNIZ GUY ABOUT LASTING QUALITIES AND HE ASSURED ME IT WOULD LAST AND TO KEEP IT IN THE FRIDGE. THE BAG IS RESEALABLE SO I AM FILLING MY ORIGINAL TIN AND WILL REPLENISH IT EVERY MONTH OR SO WHILE THE BAG REMAINS REFRIGERATED OR EVEN FROZEN IF I CHOOSE,

I HOPE YOU GUYS START BUYING LIKE THIS AND SAVING A CHUNK OF MONEY WHILE STILL MAINTAINING QUALITY NUTRITION.
