I was given two fans as a replacement from the fish store as it was still under garuntee . After that they had no interest in helping so I realised it was just the €€€€€ they wanted.
Might set one of they other tanks back up . Had a fluval filter and the water chemistry was perfect on it ..

Sleepy · 12-06-2012 9:14pm

Finally managed to pick this little one up...

Silverfish · 13-06-2012 10:51pm

Axolotl! Is that the goldfish tank from the other thread, or is it just the same background? I'd love an axolotl but Mr S sez no way.

Sleepy · 13-06-2012 11:37pm

Nope, that's the 180l Rio which used to be my community one. The other half has wanted an axolotyl
for nearly 2 years now so when that crashed I wasn't able to say no to her!

The other is still a goldfish tank. Tank 3 is the last one I posted in this thread: a subtropical and the fourth is a black pearl ranchu.

Denise90 · 14-06-2012 2:43am

Ponyo is beautiful, awesome name too! How did you manage to get a baby from a shop? or was it a breeder? I've been looking for a leucistic for ages

Sleepy · 14-06-2012 9:14am

We had one on order from Pet Co (on Kealan from Seahorse's recommendation) for nearly two months, finally chased them up on it and they told us they'd not been able to get one so we popped up to Kinsealy Pet Store to see if they could find us one and Ponyo just happened to be in one of their tanks

'twas probably more difficult finding the Ponyo ornament in the end!

A lucky find so

They're becoming so hard to find, especially the other colour variants... I want all of them

I can imagine, great addition to the tank though, so cute!

This is how she's looking lately. I'm never 100% happy with how it looks so the result is I regularly change it around.

7ofBrian · 30-06-2012 12:56am

So heres a little update on the tank.

Getting MTS syndrome now have a 2nd

Bebo stunnah · 05-07-2012 4:43pm

V nice tanks there! I myself have MTS, but at the moment I only have the one tank set up. Have to wait until I move before setting the other 2 up as I'm planning on planted tanks, which'll need about a month to mature

muckyhands · 09-07-2012 1:28am

Some pics of some of my Tanganyikas.

Stupid question? but how do you get pics to appear in your post rather than be 'attached images' ?

7ofBrian · 09-07-2012 2:31pm

Upload them to www.photobucket.com first,
then hover mouse over image until options show up,
then click ONCE on "IMG code"
then in your reply to thread, right click - paste.

Sleepy · 09-07-2012 2:50pm

Or you can right click on the filename after attaching them to your post, copy link location and paste that between tags in the body of the post.

Silverfish · 29-07-2012 4:04pm

My tank as it is now - lost my other black ranchu, he developed a tumour which he was operated on for, however it grew back even larger a few months later and he just gave up, we decided not to put him through another operation and just let him go.

The large fish in the video, Loki, is about 9 inches nose to tail.

Haribo1358 · 26-08-2012 6:04pm

im trying to decide on either a beardie or a chameleon and does any body know of any good pet shops with reptile stuff?

Silverfish · 10-09-2012 7:02pm

My two idiot goldfish decided to start a family. But only a small one, so they ate the rest.

I think it's unusual for fancy goldfish to breed in an aquarium, at least, I hope it is, goldfish fry have no sense of self-preservation and goldfish have no parenting skills whatsoever, these guys are work!
Only 3 made it though, so I doubt they'll be a success.

Sleepy · 11-09-2012 8:30pm

Well done!

very unusual

CruelCoin · 13-09-2012 3:20pm

Hi all.

I have 3 tanks.

55lt - killiefish, armored shrimp, 9 rasbora, 3 panda cory, 3 ottocinclus

15lt - 5 assorted shrimp, 5 Endlers' livebearers.

240lt - (new, fish so far) 5 assorted shrimp, 10 cardinal tetra, 2 orange bristlenose pleco, 1 dwarf pleco (dark grey with light grey spots), 3 koi angelfish, 3 guppies.

loving the hobby so far. A big emphasis for me is the planting side of it. i love experimenting with the planting arrangements.
The 55lt is built to have a free swimming area in the middle.
The 15lt is built to push the endlers to the front to show off their colour.
The 240 is built with small fish in mind, so lots of tall but slender plants, so the fish can glide in and out of the foliage, looks brilliant. Orange rocks and light brown substrate to simulate a lush desert (this possible?).

All tanks get some carbon supplement daily, macro/micro fertiliser weekly.

So far the 15lt guys prefer mini-pellets, the 50lt guys prefer bigger pellets/brine shrimp, and the large tank denizens prefer algae wafers and flakes.

Anyway, here's pics, enjoy!

CruelCoin · 13-09-2012 8:09pm

Update: Today i've added 4 assasin snails to the 240lt, as i have a minor snail infestation, and wish to nip it in the bud.

My new setup.

Out with the plastic pirate ship, in with the bog wood and plants.

180 litre tank, 1 common goldfish, 5 white cloud mountain minnows, 5 zebra danios, lots of plants. Might go tropical in the new year!

kylith · 28-10-2012 3:18pm

A few new denizens in the 120L. The big anubias is doing really well, but I'd like something tall along the back.

I've had the shrimp tank up and running, albeit hill billy style (see the lighting fixture) But that's only temporary until i get the correct connectors for thhe lightbulbs.

Question: How much additive did you put in to get the water that dark?
Have been adding blackwater extract myself at the recommended dosage, but i'm seeing no change in water colour...

No additives are put in my tank at all, other than dechlorinator. Any tea staining in the water comes solely from the driftwood. A good hunk of wood, or some people use leaves (oak, I think), should stain the water nicely. It gets lighter after each water change.

m4r10 · 20-11-2012 4:33pm

You can use alder cones to stain the water, give them a rinse, put them in the tank and will be good for a few weeks.

Allo,

Tank looks really well!

What type of sand did you go for? I love the brilliant white, and the background shows it off well.

Cichlid tank?

7ofBrian · 27-11-2012 11:00pm

its just crushed coral sand. im going to be filling it with tropheus when i get some stable readings

Yeah you need to build it up really slow. everything is 4 times the price as Tropical so you need to make sure water parameters are perfect before adding in the next coral . If the tank crashes by adding to much to fast its not like a simple water change

kylith · 31-12-2012 3:01pm

Fantastic, well done.

Im a big fan of shrimp - trouble is so are the Discus in the South American tank and as for the Tangs in the African set up- forget about it.

Have an empty Juwel aquarium, about 2 foot I think it is- a tank planted and dedicated to shrimp sounds great to me right about now.
