Any places in Gauteng similar to Namibian hardwood? I remember @MariaS mentioning a landscaping shop that she uses for driftwood, but i can't find...
They need very soft, fairly acidic water kept pretty warm. They share a tank well with discus, but are super sensitive to water quality.
Yup, Altums are pricey. Breeding in captivity is pretty tough for them, so most specimens are wild caught (i think)
Well, lockdown madness became a thing...this tank is basically no more. I got a bee in my bonnet about the nuisance of carpets and the BBA that...
It's mostly my indecision around what i want to do that pisses her off :lol: my plans change so often i get mental whiplash
Tempting, but haven't got an appropriate container :rolleyes: plus, girlfriend already has an issue with home much time and effort i spend on the...
Suffering a similar problem. Really want to get a dirted 30 litre tank going, but no gravel or dirt and the wrong hardscape for what i want to...
Our local Spar didn't have any real restrictions. I managed to buy some hair dye and stationary for my girlfriend without issue. The bakery and...
As far as i know, it's a bit of a hit or miss with those seeds. People that have had success say it takes a lot longer than advertised to get any...

I decided to remove one of the lengths of driftwood separating the crypts from the helanthium tenellum, and i'm experimenting with one of the...
I've seen some videos of crushed lava rock being stuffed inside mesh bags or stockings, and using that as a cheap way to bulk up a substrate for...
Agreed! Panta Rhei does some really cool stuff, biotope specific: [MEDIA] I really like the one with the rain simulator. Should also give some...
I had to come home half way through a week long holiday in Gouritzmond, just south of Mossel Bay. It's a bit of a mixed bag of emotions, as i'm...
That really is looking stunning, congratulations. Do i see some kind of loach hanging out in the 2nd photo, just under the rummynose?
I'm a big fan of the Connect-It system. I built a set of shelves using the 25mm system, and it's solid as a rock
Unfortunately true. Either the staff are not trained properly, or don't know enough about the specific species, and feed people the "grows to the...
That is also true. I've been using some Langa for about a year now with very minimal physical damage, so it does last well in that capacity. The...
