    Mono speckling?

    Hey all, just a quick Q. I had bought some monos about 2" now they're 3" or bigger a month later and the larger of the 2 has some spots on the rear of the dorsal fin. Is this common for monos or is it probably more likely it's an Ocel??? (even though listed as a Mono) I'll get pics up once...

    My dead Ocel :(

    I'm flying to Sydney this weekend actually haha.... Not sure on the regs on taking fish on domestic flights! Where is the breeder located? I'm really keen. If you could link me to the seller that'd be great.

    My dead Ocel :(

    Haha I'd love to but where in aus are you? I'd be worried about shipping lol. Exotics are hard to get and expensive. $3000 for a tigrinus, $160 for a small ornate pim. I have to find a shop willing to order me in a couple of pbass. Let me know if you know of any breeders for pbass!! :P

    My dead Ocel :(

    Sadly my little baby Ocel died last night. Pretty devastated actually. Went to a party Sat night, got back Sun night and I guess because he didn't get fed for a while he took a risk. Now it's not the money that makes me upset, although he was $150 AUD (cause I can hardly get them here....)...

    Lighting for cichla.

    Hey, My 4' fluro globe just broke and I'm just curious as to what I should replace it with. This is with a single 4' t8 I think? standard fluro. I was using I think a power glo, which is the purplish light. It was ok but wasn't really my favourite kind of light. This was on a black background...

    I don't know, but it looks awesome as hell. It looks like dominance but yeah I don't know.

    Another ID video.

    Yeah cheers for all the input everyone. And I didn't name him..... Got named by my mate and well.... everyone started calling him that and I didn't have any say in it haha. and honestly, the power head isn't pushing too much water, there are plenty of spots where he can just hang around. The...

    Another ID video.

    Haha yeah the current is strong(ish) not heaps though, the reason it looks like that is I have a bubble attachment on the power head itself instead of a pump for an air stone so I always get heaps of bubbles in the water. I don't really like the look so might invest in a pump + stone. And yeah...

    Another ID video.

    Hey all, Just took a quick vid of my pbass to see if someone can ID him. Certain he's an ocel but just in case ;) Sorry the vid is a little rubbish quality but it's the best I could get with an iPhone. Pics are even worse but if you want more clarification I'll post them too :) Not sure...

    Most Prized Peacock Bass?

    Hmmm for me, I love my occel to bits haha. But my dream pbass is a fogo or piquiti (azul?) Both of them seem so out there and have amazing markings. These fish never seem to bore me... ever.

    My first Pbass

    Cheers guys! Yeh fingers crossed he colours up. Also, could it be that he's at 27deg??? (not sure what f that is, but I'm damn sure it's under 87) I should increase the temp yeah?

    My first Pbass

    Hey hey, been out of fish keeping for a few years, but that's due to not being allowed a tank. Over the past 2 years I have been waking up in the middle of the night, cold sweat dripping from me, a black sharpie in my hand, only to reveal that I had written "MFK" all over the walls. So I think...

    Aussie stream Trout

    Alright I know that title may sound like an innuendo, but alas, no. I haven't been on this forum for a good 3-4 years so I thought I'd come back with a bang, haven't been fishing too much to be honest so I thought I'd hit up the ol' Trout spot that I know is pretty trusty. Haven't been for...

    My parents aren't understanding

    I'm 22 and living with folks, not allowed a tank here either, which is strange considering my dad bought the 75 gal for me when I was 16. So now I have my own 2" Peacock Bass growing out at my mates place, in my aquarium just so I can ward off the fish withdrawals :s It blows so hard!! I...

    What's the most grusome death one of your fish has suffered?

    Had a 25cm Murray Cod that in summer, tank got to around 35 deg when I was at the beach.... Came home to find him white as a ghost, breathing damn heavily and finding it hard to stay upright. Me being the noob that I was at 14 had another tank, filled it, conditioned it and put him in.... with...

    125g stocking ideas?????

    Haha you suggest not to get a LMB but a shoal of red bellies? :S He said no sand btw, bare bottom as it's at his work. Failing the LMB, you want a fish that wants to be a trash disposal unit? A couple of Oscars then? Jag? they dont grow too big and love to eat eat eat.

    What do you think is the most aggressive fish?

    From what I've seen, just micropeletes are nothing to mess with, hands down they are just little a**holes!

    125g stocking ideas?????

    For a tank like that why not a LMB or something? Relatively cheap, native and will eat almost anything!
