Squirtal your link didn't work for me.I would like to have a look at your jack.Do you keep him heated all year?Mine is outside in the weather.When I do a water change on my marine tank I dump that in his tank to keep the salt levels up.Other wise he gets water of the roof,which I have stored in drums.

Loving your tanks

 

[MatE]

Thanks squirtle appreciate it.I do love my cichlids that's what I first started with as a young fella.I love the JAG my old flat mate and me had one in a display tank we called him bubba LOL.He was 13-14" long when he died,very sad day as he was the only fry that survived out of a clutch of eggs,he ate all his brothers and sisters.You might want to add some salt to the jacks water as he gets bigger,he will hold his colour better.

Thanks guys! Yeah Jags are cool. Best is when they yawn could stick my fist in my males mouth his about 14 " also girls around 11" this is tail to tip of lip not body size but.

Just got home and turned lights on to try for a pic, straight to hiding place. Im home tomorrow so Ill get one.

Just remembered how much I like the jags - if I had unlimited space I'd breed them and frontosa (separately, not with each other)

Agree with comment about salt and jacks - doesn't have to be heaps but some will help.

I've seen a few of them but non of the recent ones.. Some of the stuff they do is intense like converting a car to a fish tank lol or the 70,000 gallon reef setup..

Nice fish mate,pretty sure it's not an amazon puffer but a mbu puffer, they originate from lake Tanganyika and the Congo river in Africa and get big around 60cm.. I was looking at getting one for my African community setup but they don't mix to well with cichlids.

I have a 1000ltr tub I'm going to setup for my nephew.He wants to put a couple of bass in there.But I want to get him to put a Murray cod in there.Really what I wanted is a eastern cod,but not sure if you can even buy them as they are protected.Anyone have any thoughts?

[Venomous1111]

Bass and murray cod will be fine together as long as the cod isn't big enough to get his mouth around the bass, If you get fingerlings an let them grow together you'll be sweet.. I released 200 bass fingerlings and 10 murray cod fingerlings into my dam in 2010 so I could test out lures for fishing trips, last time I went down there all we could get was bass and they would only hit unweighted live garden worms and had grown to around the 25cm mark not monsters but there thriving so I'm happy.. Eastern cod are an Endangered species so there a no go for aquariums.

Where can you get those puffers? And how much? I've been looking forever for some f/w puffers!

Are you after a particular species?

I know a shop in west Sydney that sells them 10cm for $35 not sure what species they have available though.. I occasionally go in there an see what his got going on when I'm visiting mates out that way, he's big in natives.. It's called Georgies Ark - 86 glossop st, st marys 8678-525 give him a call and see what he has.

What are you planning on setting up? What's a longbeacks fish?

Plenty of tanks on gumtree in the Brissy area..

Nice setup mate, it looks nice seeing a planted tank, looks healthy to.

haha yeah its doing rediculously well

and majority of the plants are all cuttings from friends and the whole set up there is pretty simple

im gunna swap around some stuff so i can fit my 4 foot tank in there somewhere again the native bug is biting again so im gunna grab a mangrove jack to keep me happy seeming iv had pretty much everything but a sleepy cod saratoga or mangrove jack now lol

Good stuff mate, some of those aquatic plants realy grow like weeds, a setup I used to have used to have to throw out a bag of cutings a fortnght.

 

[boxhead1990]

thats what that little 2 foot tank is like now with that ludwigia aye hahaha

its pretty good i feed the fish and change the water and add a few spoon fulls of kn03 and a touch of seachem safe with the water

but then again most of the plants are root feeders and its got mts and a yeast c02 set up that i threw together aswell so yeah and the tank was planted for a few months before i started putting fish in it tooo which has helped ten fold
