Aquariums and Fish

[Jason.s]

Heres a question!?
What do you find yourself spending more on?
1) Reptiles
2) Fish

Reptiles I got a spotted black and a scrub python this weekend, it used to be fish but now I have the native tank most
are free.

The salt water was expensive but, all the pumps and lighting for the coral and the adatives like liquid food is all pritty expensive but it looks nice if you got the money to burn.
I just got one now with a morey eel he cheep to look after.

Heres a pic of the best fish tank i have at the moment. Not sure if it still classes as one though with my keelback living in it, but its close enough.

Nice mate, I love keelbacks I want to get some of them, I saw some last week under a sheet of palsic nice little snakes.

I wanted to get a photo of them but didn't have my camra there was three keelbacks and a Eastern Brown under 1 sheet
of plastic.

Thanks, I have a second little one I'm growing up at the moment to eventually go in with that one. I'am hoping i end up with a pair to eventually breed them.
Nice find, never seem to have cameras when they are needed.
I have a four foot tank spare at the moment, I can't decied what i want to put into it yet though. Its either going to be a native biotope style or an african cichlid tank.

will have my tanks back lol.

[Jason.s]

They would only do it once, I dont think i'd try that with my morey but.

reptiles! lol nah fish!

I agree and disagree with the electricity for fish. having just been knee deep in solving this.

1 fish tank setup well will run me about 30$ a month for a big one. I am new to the whole reptile world but with my snakes each globe is sitting at 75W each which wont run 24/7 but they seem on quite often which is ruffly going to set me back 40-60 depending how often they do actually run and thats one light I use 2! so it really depends how you look at it.

I enjoy both so price is not an issue but I tried to cut back as much as possible and found with fish if you invest into the better brands the running cost comes down which is something most people dont look at. good example is everyone buying the sunsun filters nice and cheap but the running cost is almost double-triple compared to an eheim or fluval. same with power heads cheap ones run you about 15+W and a hydor will use 4W, sure these figures are small but you have to understand they run 24.7 365 for a few years so in the long run are the extra $$ worth the savings?

Sorry blabed a bit lol just my research over the past few months. I have almost cut my bill in half in the fish room which is nice. Solar is next.
