    re: cardinals

    Hi, Am currently planting up a 24x12x12 tank to house a pair of most likely A.Borelli or P.Taeniatus. What about adding about 10-15 cardinals, would this give me much grief if hoping to breed or are they likely to eat eggs/fry. Grateful for any advice. Cheers Marc

    Hi guys and girls, Starting up a small 2ft x1ft planted tank with the idea of perhaps having a pair of apisto's in eventually. Am toying with the idea of using rain water collected from the shed roof. Have tested the water for NO2, NO3, ph, GH and Kh and all seems ok. Only thing I have yet to...
