| 18-07-2007 13:28 by tank busters |
thank you tasha much apreciated  |
| 18-07-2007 13:39 by tracyanne |
thanks for all ya feedback . its an adventure has im looking for big fish now lol . and by the way wayne why do u have to make a slide remark at any ones expense its getting silly now if u have something to say then say it. as we do change our tanks . as it gets boring having the same thing . its nice to have a change wouldnt u agree |
| 18-07-2007 22:42 by WAYNE |
yeah but put yourself in the fishes place being moved from tank to tank , no jelously at all i have something even better , , be nice if you keep it a bit longer than the marines though |
| 19-07-2007 14:49 by Cichlid Fury |
it is nice to have a stable set up rather than change your mind all the time shifting fish about like its a game of musical chairs. wouldnt mind a tropical pond one day what about the moisture content of the air do you need a special du-humidifier? |
| 19-07-2007 15:32 by tank busters |
no i just leave window slightly open and the air exchanges ok like that,i dont change fish like musical chairs its just i now have opertunity to keep the fish i want at there adult size instead of,off loading on zoos.i had marines for a year then decided to go back to trops,but i have another 3 tanks so no need to move em about. |
| 19-07-2007 15:33 by tank busters |
if u had a really large pond then i would worry about a du-humidifire |
| 19-07-2007 18:52 by WAYNE |
so you can keep an adult peruno in a 6x4 pond ?? do you know how big they get , bet you want an arapiama now with that huge expanse of water you have , and why do you take every thing so seruious nothing wrong with a bit of banter with a few serious question thrown is |
| 19-07-2007 19:42 by Cichlid Fury |
apparently Perruno are very rare and its more likely a
http://planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=245 Anyway with a 30 inch fish you probably wouldnt keep it in a tank or pond thats only just over double its length just like you wouldnt keep a 12" Oscar in a 30" tank or a 20" Arrowana in a 48" tank. |
| 19-07-2007 20:00 by -Rob C- |
As good as it sounds calling it a pond, it isn't really. 6x4x2 may be larger than the average tank, but it has to be said it's not big enough for large fish.
I'm not having a go, it's just true in my opinion. |
| 19-07-2007 20:03 by tank busters |
at the end of the dAY the fish as suffecient room to move and turn with no problems,so i suppose it doesnt matter how bigger pond i have everyone else nos better. |
| 19-07-2007 20:05 by tank busters |
look at a it as u want but at the end of the day i rescued the fish from a 4x2x2 but that isnt good enough at least it as more room than before and is not cramped up.

the old red face! |
| 20-07-2007 08:24 by WAYNE |
its true though just because you waqnt to hear good feedback , as cf say you wont always get it , this forum is for discussion not a confidece booster ,to just agree , although most people will be nice and not say what they really think , personally i dont like your tanks they lack structure and features , look at telboys tanks they look natural ,hes the only one i know who can make plastic plants look good , yours look slaped together , but thats just my opinion , and my comment about having for only 3-6 months well its only a temporary structure , you can pack it away when ever you wish , nothings cast in stone so to speak ,   |
| 20-07-2007 09:05 by tracyanne |
shut wayne yeah like u what ya got 2 6ft marine tanks put together like an L SHAPE
thats all ya got there is nothing wrong with my tanks so ya mr f.....g perfect yeah right just hangs about for freebies . with ya imagination of a london aquarium dont make me laugh .... i see how u always reply to my feedback , and who said about confidence boost . just give it a rest now has its gonna get me banned with what i wanna say |
| 20-07-2007 09:09 by tracyanne |
if u read the ponds in early stages . and i dont have plants in my tank ya looking at old pictures  |
| 20-07-2007 09:10 by tracyanne |
what about people putting koi in ponds they grow big and it cant be folded away its a proper pond dont mean to sound harsh but just get off my back about this as i dont annoy u s all do i |
| 20-07-2007 09:12 by tracyanne |
cheers webmaster |
| 20-07-2007 09:26 by webmaster |
some comments have been removed - calm down folks  |
| 20-07-2007 09:37 by WAYNE |
why you getting so defensive???
when you say you rescued the peruno cat , was it like SAS hostage rescuing mission and by the way im not trying to get on your back , just hoping you take your time in stocking it as we dont want to hear about more dead fish ie(cichlid and marine fish)one fish of that should be plenty for that pond , and maybe add a few smaller but you dont want a fish kill, and how long was it running before you added the 30" fish ? what did you do to prepare the filters , how often you feeding |
| 21-07-2007 23:16 by sonia |
so how comes tracyanne complained to webmaster about this thread? tracyanne seems to want to dictate what people can cant cant say? Wayne is spot on Tracyanne and what was the rescue mission? |
| 21-07-2007 23:18 by sonia |
people go running to Webmaster when a thread doesn't go their way. |

| 21-07-2007 23:38 by sonia |
sorry 2 lots of 6-foot marine tanks i think thats what you said.
now lets relax and stop getting comments taken off the thread just coz you dont like them looks like people are just trying to give you some decent advice. |
| 22-07-2007 00:29 by tank busters |
sonia butt out |
| 22-07-2007 01:00 by telboy |
sonia, why dont you go away again but this time dont bother coming back, you do nowt but cause agro,cant ever remember you talking bout your fish, or giving any good advice, just put down folk + try to start agro |
| 22-07-2007 09:41 by tank busters |

| 22-07-2007 09:50 by tracyanne |

| 22-07-2007 09:50 by tracyanne |
