can our coastal fish be kept in tanks.if so what would be the requirements.ie water/salt/feed etc |
| 06-07-2006 16:00 by rob r |
i was thinking mussels/limpets/cockles/starfish basically anything you find in rockpools when the tides out. |

rob, see a very interesting thread on this subject here: http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/forum/viewtopic_1680.php |
| 06-07-2006 17:12 by rob r |
thanks yanton lots of info. but i still dont know if it means going to the beach every other day for water |
| 06-07-2006 17:51 by trik |
the only problem with keeping them which you can is , in the summer months your tank will get very hot, and a big i mean BIG chiller will be needed , as for the fish and inverts they can over a period of time be acclimitised to our own made salt water as we do in normal reef keeping.hth. |
| 06-07-2006 17:56 by rob r |
ta trik but i know nowt about reef |
| 06-07-2006 18:01 by trik |
they should be kept the same , good water turn over good water prams the only thing you dont need is a heater. but cold water marine are very hardy , inverts live in shallow rock pools and in the summer as we all know the water reaches a very warm temp then the tide comes in and wack nice cold water. they are easier to keep. |
| 06-07-2006 18:08 by rob r |
trik big favour can you put a list of what i need to keep them i might just give it a go. ta |
| 06-07-2006 18:20 by trik |
i will have a go, any one else have in put please add
skimmer good filter system (sump,canister or even live rock free from the beach/rock pools. lighting T5 or even T8 no need for halide. a few good power heads phosphate remover and active carbon with a good floss in your canister to start then may be get a reactor for them. and of coarse the tank. lol |
| 06-07-2006 18:22 by trik |
O and chiller for all year round. house temp will make the temp to high. |

ooh I was fishing in rockpools with a net on tuesday, I caught these weird little fish, looked like eels, then buried themeselves under the sand when I let them go, I also caught this shrimpy thing. |
| 06-07-2006 19:40 by kell |
Marsden beach is the best beach for rockpools. |

I was looking through rook pools at Tynemouth today. Loads of cool things. Was thinling exactly the same thing as you Rob. |
| 06-07-2006 22:43 by steve gast |
what are you talking about you Rob's
Who's Eric Anyone tried Morecombe? |
| 06-07-2006 22:54 by sturio |
was diving off of swanage today round a wreck and was amazed at what we have actually got in our waters.
surely it would be very hard to keep these and dont we need a licence or somet to take things from the sea? |
| 06-07-2006 22:55 by sturio |
or is it to actually sell them on ????? |
| 06-07-2006 22:57 by rob r |
eric morecambe .sturio we fish the sea so i dont think theres a need for licenses except for cites things. |
| 06-07-2006 23:09 by sturio |
but with things like lobster and brown crab there are size limits so we cant just take what we want |
| 06-07-2006 23:16 by rob r |
anglers catch em kill and eat em never known anyone say no |
| 07-07-2006 09:19 by D.R. |
Rob - we have a cold water setup in work. Environmental work and we monitor fish and invert species on our shores. Rock pool species are much more hardy than pelagic fish like gadoids, herring etc. We use an aqua medic cooler but been having problems keeping the water at 15oC. Third time in about a year that the temperature rises even with the cooler on 247. We're not sure if salt water will be compatible with beer chillers, but we really dont think that aqua-med coolers can cope with 15oC |
