The Wild Fishing Forum

I never kept these fish back in the day and had no idea what personalities they have. Now that my 6 Sterbai have settled in it  is fascinating watching their antics. They appear to alternate between  resting up and active feeding like trout and pike both do.

It's great stuff!  What I like mostly abut fly forums is the endless friendly interaction.

Loads more if you're prepared to look...

Just used this gizmo. Brilliant! No fuss, no lugging heavy buckets around and no mess!

Three now set up. The 48 inch split in half, a 16x9x9 inch quarantine and now the 30x15x12 inch. I also have another small tank in storage

How many tanks do you have Sandy?

Reorganised. After setting it all up and filling it the damn thing decided to leak again. Stripped it all down and set up my 30x12x15 tank, which I should have done in the first place, with all the contents of the 24 inch tank. I'll need to get a light for it though and that is the 24 inch cover that is on it at the moment.

I started at 12 but algae became a problem so I reduced it to 10 hours and the algae is now a lot less. If you go to bed at 10pm then bring the lights on at 12:30pm and off at 10:30pm, no point in them going off before you go to bed I don't bother with changing the times for summer/winter it just means they go off half an hour later in the winter (or is it earlier, I can never figure that out in my head ).
