What's New in Your Tank Today?

I added 2 penny size dark marble angelfish today! Maybe another set of breeders will come of these 2 fish (plus the 1 female silver still in the tank!)

 

2 Madagascar Rainbow's, 2 Panda Corys, and a Pearl Gourami

 

how do you tell between male/female angels?

 

Probably should be a new thread, you cant until they spawn. Males have a little pin looking hook tube and females have a short fat tube... You only see this right before the spawn. If you are lucky you can tell by who lays the eggs, but some females will "dry run" over the eggs so the male MUST be confirmed by the breeding tube.

 

aspidoras menezesi i think. i picked them up afew weeks ago spawned today.

 

not today, but over the past week: 3 Australian Rainbows and 1 Unknown Cory. I got the cory at Petco (a different petco then the one that had the ich covered oscars, and I usually don't buy fish from the store but...) and he was labeled as a julii cory. I noticed that he definietly was not a julii and he was the only cory left in the tank, so I decided to get him. I'm having a little trouble identifying what cory he is, but he's really cute (see new avatar), and my girlfriend likes him as much as she likes her Panda's.

 

the cory in the picture looks like a surinamenis or melanistius

 

2 powder blue gouramis went into the planted tank, and I added three more clown loaches to my school. I also did some rearranging to the planted tank, going to be adding some more plants soon, and moved my xp4 over from my 125 to my 40g planted tank. I also got a new stand for my 55 gallon that was sitting on the floor.

 

today I got another Emerald Catfish and an Adolfo's Cory (finally found them at uncle ned's)

 

lol wtth the adolfo. they are'nt as hardy as the other corys

 

I just added a ancictomus sabaji to my planted tank

 

Added some new plants to the planted tank, water wysteria, moneywort, and scarlet something. I also rearranged the driftwood in the planted tank when I added the new plants. I am starting to really fall in love with this tank all over again!

 

Not really "new" but I just moved the November 15 batch of baby Angels into my display tank downstairs to finish growth and prep for sale! So for my 125, I have about 65-75 new Angels (about dime size)!

My tank upstairs does not have good enough filtration for a 30 gallon holding that number of fish! I at least have my 125 with all those filters on it!

 

Today I found a german blue ram at an LFS that was only $5. I understand how fragile they can be, but I figured I'd give it a shot, especially at that price. So far he's eaten blood worms and flake. I kinda hope he makes it for a while, being that he is a really beautiful fish, and already seems to have quite the interesting personality. This is a pic i got of him right after he finished eating some blood worms.

 

Bought a new 55 today to go on the bottom of my current 55 gallon tank stand to make it sturdier and less top heavy. So, my festae fry will be getting a huge upgrade tomorrow night!! I am currently waiting for the paint to dry on the back of the tank. I decided to go with a flat black spray paint and will be adding black gravel. Will get pics up as soon as its up and running!

On a side note, I think my ac110 is leaking (theres a crack on the output part of the filter) so I am going to be doing something to fix that soon

 

got some very pretty driftwood!! havnt put it in the new tank. or even set it up. been lazy. and i cant lift it cause i tred and well lets just say it aint moving.

 

Not what is new and in my tank.... but what isnt!!! ALGEA!! I beat the crap out of it today dis-assembling all my plants and other things washing and vacuuming all of my sand!

 

More Endler fry as of this morning.

 

A ton of beautiful new plants from aquariumplants.com!

 

4 inch long baby Otto Cats. [dancing] I'm planning on taking these guys to VA with me. They're hard to find !
