I am thinking about getting a 20 gallon aquarium, but dont know what to put in it. I am more fond of the discus. The aquarium would have a 30 gallon filter and a 20 gallon filter on it.

A short video of some of the tropical fish, shrimps and snails we have, or have had in stock. With over 130 species of freshwater tropicals in stock, Tyne Valley Aquatics easily has the best range in North East England. All our tanks are individually filtered and each has its own net. As our water quality is so good, we have an excellent range of tropical freshwater shrimps in stock (which make excellent cleaners). Every week we get new and interesting species in, some rare. All healthy. All well looked after. When searching for aquatic shops near Newcastle, forget the rest, use the best. All species are available for next day delivery with our guaranteed mail order service. Check the website for further details: www.tynevalleyaquatics.co.uk

I found you guys alot of help with my chichlid that i got. He eats chichlid pellets and bloodworm flakes happily now. Thanks. But now i have a different question, what are the best breeding chichlids. I still just have my old 20 with the jouvenile-young adult yellow and gold striped chichlid. I talked to my Best Friend who has 2 beautiful RES (Red Eared Sliders) and is going to get a small indoor plastic pond for them in about a year. he now has a 65 gallon tank for them. So, what kind of chichlids are best for open water breeding conditions. thanks!

oh, and i was possibly thinking about discus for the 65. Would they get along with chichlids?

thanks so much!

http://www.oscarfish.co.uk How to make a really cheap aquarium/fish tank filter. Once the filter is made connect the airpipe to the air pump place the filter totally immersed and switcj on the aie pump.The air bubbles will rise in the tube and draw water with them. As this happens water will rush in through the filter down through the holes that you melted in the bottom piece. this causes a flow through the filter.

This pair of discuss has 3 attempts with all eggs eaten up, 1 times with few fry coming out but still eaten up at the end.

this video is their 5th attempt.

some things that I think it may help:

- young pairs are less experienced, sometimes looks like they are not in harmony after laying eggs or frightened, then they eat up all eggs, if your pair only has 1 or 2 attempts, you can looking forward to their next attempt.

- water change. I keep a 80% water change everyday when they are in a small 2 feet tank. (water is coming from the top-roof water reserve, which is kept for sometime, and singapore tap water is quite soft). but after they lay eggs, i keep 20% water change everyday.

- I put 7 disuss with a clearer fish in the small 2 feet tank, with only on-top filters, not decorations at all(during the time I just moved to my new flat) tank is small but really clean. after the 2 lay eggs, I only remove the sucker fish out and the rest discuss is still in, so the competition is still on in the tank. the pair is still the king. but I remove the rest after the fry came out. just to release the stress level of the pair.

- food: I feed them frozen blood worms, washed before feeding and some dry flaker food. they have enough food and looks healthy and strong.

- no extra lighting, I put the tank near my rear balcony, there is no direct sun light on the tank, so the fish enjoy the nature day-night cycle.

- a heater to keep the temp 28′C at night

- some luck

My 40+ young discus only has 3 survive now.(1 big male, 2 females) and I am waiting for their 1 attempt…
