will plastic plants surfice? im thinking undergravel filter with a dark sand base and a fair few fake plastic plants. cheap and easy that way I can work with what ive already got- 92cmL-39cmW-43cmH heater and small internals. and only thing id have to buy is dark gravel/sand and java moss. if I do a sand base ill try use under gravel filter that way I don't gravel vac and I do 20% water change weekly. does that sound alright? thanks a lot!

im basically really eager to learn how to breed shrimp im looking into giving it a go with RCS or glass shrimp. I have an empty 3ft tank I can use but im wondering if its too big. what equipment do you guys and gals use? what do you feed them to make sure they have a nice stable diet. cheers in advance!

so today i was on a hunt for a good quality devil. and frankly i didnt find anything i liked at all. went to smiths aquarium(where i got my first devil who ended up being exceptional quality imo BEAUTIFUL colour nice bump all round good fish ate anything!) now they have these poxy orange and black little to no colour in them at all devils. so i continued on my search for a devil, ended up at stafford pet superstore no devils at all but they did have a nice heartwegi X going for $25 for a hybrid it was quite nice!. again continuing on up the road to THE AQUARIUM previously named aquarama to find worse quality again the fishing have no orange at all. then to the petshop in kedron across from wow sight and sound to find one devil yet again of not much colour. then had to take my older brother to pacific pines to look at a bike so we stopped in at pet city and yet again, no devils but as always nice marines and some fantastic looking discus. when i first got into fish and fishtanks devils oscars terrors jack dempsey's were everywhere. now im unable to find a devil of decent quality anywhere. does anyone know of a petshop(preferably northside) where they have good quality devils? because there dont seem to be many devils around at all. all help appreciated thanks in advance, Ash.

Firstly I'd like to say I haven't done this before. So there will be "dumb" questions and I'd love lots of opinions I've been thinking for quite some time about marine fish and tanks! For $300 would I be able to set up a marine tank? If so how would I do it? I was thinking 3ft long x15"W x 18"H plastic tank(curved edges). With a dwarf lionfish(always loved them. IMO there a unique fish). I know very little about marines so all help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance, ash.
