i am thinking about buying the white albino from sydney
any ideas on how to transport as i will have to get a train
for 1hour 30mins with minimul space please help =]
any suggestions would be appreciated

Driving or public transport? If you are driving how about a set up with an esky and two of those battery operated air pumps- one for aeration and one for a sponge filter. Esky should keep the temp pretty constant too. I was thinking about this for when I take my babies up to Brisbane in the car. LFS usually send them away with a dose of stress coat too, or you could buy some.

To be honest for that amount of time you will be fine without a pump...Iv had two in a bucket for 6 hours+ and they where fine.

ok i am buying him tomoz arvo i will pick up when i finish tafe
from a couple of stations away from central =]



thanks to nextcent =]
i have it all worked out i have a battery powerd air pump i can poke
threw top of container and its gunna be a calm train ride i will have black carbo
bag to cover container so no light will get in for safe and less stressfull transportation so
it will be a nice peacefull train ride =]

Does this mean you bought that bigger tank then?

That's a nice looking O unusual pattern.

no aus car same tank but with 2 externals and a internal filter
its about 3800lph all up and 2 wcs a week i just wante to get him
into a bigger tank then he is like a 3ft so 20 to 30 gal with 4 clowns and another O
so my conditions would be better then what he is in now nextcents has been doing wc like crazy
and is need of a bigger tank for the albino cause some one has allready bought the tiger =P
maybe even 3 wc a week if water readings start playing up i dont mind doing wc's
it gives me somthing to do when i get home from work and the big tank is on layby
so not long now =]

I'm with you Benno, theoretically you can make it work if you are managing your water quality and if they get along OK. ATM my adult O's are in a 100 gallon tank...three of them. Now I do plan on upgrading soon...when I sell their babies...but for the time being they are very happy with their home as evidenced by their general health and behavior including fortnightly spawning. I have OCD when it comes to water quality and it sounds like you do too. Fingers crossed toki is not too much of a pampered prince to share his kingdom and that your new baby fits in OK...Shazzzzz

sounds like we have same idea shazz =]
he will i am gunna net him out before i add the
new O his name is swissgar my gf named him=]
so i will net toki and add the new O for half an hour then re introduce
so he dont get to cranky about his teritory and if he bullys then i am
gunna have to inforce the naughty net so i will get him friendly with the new O

Make sure you keep a VERY close eye on your water, and keep up with the water changes.

And yes the time out net works ... Sometimes.... LOL
