  3. tiger in the tank.

    in Say Hello

    Posted

    Hello, me and my wife are new to the site but have heard some excellent things about ways to aquire new skill knowledge and fish. I am currently the proud owner of a 25 inch tiger shovel nose catfish. The only downside being that at this size almost everything we think is safe in the tank with it gets swallowed including a 12 inch pleco and an 8 inch jack dempsy. so as we are not sure how we can add colour to our tank and keep our shovelnose i am hoping to find someone with the info i need to remedy my quandry. any help any of you can offer would be greatly appreciated. sincerely m&mhills

    my shovelnose is pushing 2feet and has a similar sized redtailcatfish as a partner.. if your looking for colour..add a redtailcatfish..

    Because of aggression issues, you often need to separate male and female w. a divider. Egg crate works well, as the female could lay eggs on one side of the divider and the male can fertilize them from the other side.

    excellent advice... :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

    Hi guys, great site.

    I was wondering if anyone had any cool ideas as far as computerized monitoring and maintenance equipment goes for saltwater aquariums... is there even such a thing out there? Where would I get something like that in Edmonton, or even in Alberta?

    Even some info on where to start looking would be nice... I have an older laptop that I think I would like to resurrect as the beginnings of a marine aquarium system! It's a dual core 1.5, and how sweet would that be to have something that would operate as a system database, controller, monitor, even alarm?

    Am I just dreaming with this, or are there people out there who know what I'm talking about? If my dad can build a model railroad system for a client that controls microswitches and provides feedback for the train nerd, then sure as heck it should be possible with the right tools to create something even more impressive for a FOWLR setup. Right?

    If software is hard to find, it's not a big worry - I have access to a group of dedicated programmers, but what type of hardware is there out there that could be used in an application like this? I would imagine I'm looking for things like timed lighting, valves that could be electronically controlled, manifolds... but I digress.

  16. Motoro Stingrays!

    They have them at familypetsuper centre at $300 for a pair every now and then and big als has them for up to $300 each but most are $200 each and tiny and hell. I suggest buying for local breeders like Skynoch (scott) or Rudy.

    If you talk to Frank @ Family Pet Supercentre i'm sure he'd be happy to bring some in for you, i was just at BA today in edmonton and yikes the rays are in bad shape so i wouldnt buy them from there at least

    spencer jack has a motoro for 145!! :thumbs:

    Well a lot of us have rays and Hikari Massivore is a very common food for rays so I'm currently researching finding what other ray keepers use for food. If you have a brand or food to add it would be helpful.

    Ocean Nutrition pellets for bottom dwellers

    NLS Thera A+ Jumbo

    mazuri aquatic gel

    Silvercup sturgeon diet sinking extruded pellets

    bloodworm pellets

    These were just copied and pasted from mfk threads so i dont know what alot of them are.

    If someone could list a few arowana foods too that would be great.

    I know prawns, beef heart and nightcrawlers are good sources of food but I'm looking more along the lines of pellets and dry goods

    dont forget the best food on the market "xtreme"
