Ok i picked up three more today. They finally got a bunch of baby angels too :) I'm still waiting on them. I have a baby turtle in my qt tank at the moment waiting to go into my pond. Hey greenmumma where did you get your dry ferts from?

Ok three days and no sight of my little otto. If nothing by tomorrow gonna start moving rocks. Oh man!

Well went to lfs today to get a light for the 20gal. They had what i think is a male bolivian so i got it. :) i also picked up an otto too. :) hope it turns out that im right on the bolivian. They had three baby angels too. But im waiting on them. Hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend!!!

Yeah I have been dosing liquid carbon daily too. 14ml/day for the big tank and 3ml/day for the little tank. The clowns are pretty happy with my current plants i guess.. lol They wont let me plant my water wisteria. Oh well.. It looks pretty dang good now. Will have to do some pics for ya. The...

Wow.. Been a VERY busy week I have been super busy for a couple weeks getting the pond going, pool opened... yard work... ya know. We made our big pond shallower, its now 3ft deep vs the 6ft it was last year. Had to take the poor koi out and put them in the 600gal pond.. they are almost 2 ft...

Well If thats the way it is I can just leave them be and they will be fine together? its the males that you cant have two of them together right? they do pretty good together. once in a while one gets an attitude with the other but other than that they do really good and hang out together a lot...

Man this is confusing. :) guess I now have two girls? The vents look that way at least? I dunno.. :)

Boy? Boy? (same fish) Boy Left, Girl right? Boy Right, Girl Left?   oh why did I want fish you have to sex? lol If they are boy and girl do you think they would be ok in a 20gal long together with a BN pleco?

I think your right. It dont come to a point. I think they both are the same also. maybe I have two girls? oh heck when do they grow boobs.. :)

Any suggestions greenmumma? Going tonighr to pick up a couple girls for my boys :) should i just get 2 or 3?

Five floating plants today......

I started out positive that its the boita rostrata, I'm still pretty sure thats what they are, as are some of my polka dotted loaches.... I think.. :) From the research I have done they only get to five or six inches and they can get along with just about anything that cant swallow it... and If...

No thats not pennywort on driftwood. but its about to be! thanks for the awesome idea! :) Yeah I think i'm gonna skip the lids for a little while longer and keep going with what i have going. I would have to have it specially cut to fit the tank and have the cut out for the filter.. dang..    In...

Oh how I wish I could go topless! My tank is in our basement. When I had the 55gal I ran half tops and that worked out good. But now I have the canopy packed with 4 shop light fixtures to get the necessary light down to the plants. Which they generate some heat in that time also. :(    But the...

LOL yeah I am. But they are doing very well. All the plants that I put in there are all the pieces that they chewed off my original plants. I planted all the pieces in the qt tank so they could get some good roots and hopefully get settled before the clowns uproot them or eat them. I also went...

Oh and the plants I got from petsmart were in the tubes. Not really the way I want to get them because they are grown out of water and die back but i'll deal with it since I dont have much choice! :)

New driftwood and plants   New Plants in QT   Fish and plants   My little BN pleco   New bolivians           hought this was a kinda nice pic    Any ideas on sexing them greenmumma? I cant tell. the only pic I could get of them together you can see most of the one.. lol I think I...

Heres a couple videos, surprisingly they uploaded before the pics did. I converted the video from hd to make it faster though :) Heres a video of the new bolivians :) http://youtu.be/PkYXF707sIw   Heres a video of the new driftwood and plants. None were dug up today :)  http://youtu.be/G_nOpzANpvQ

I really like the rams. Came home today and they were both there to greet me at the face of the tank. More like a dog wagging its tail instead of the others all in a feeding frenzy.. lol I really like the pictus cats too. I really would like to get 3 or 4 of them to be honest. I think there is...

OK i went to petsmart since my last update. Bought some new plants. got some amazon compacta, amazon sword, cryptocoryne wendtii green, anubias nana, and anubias afzelli. I also picked up a couple new fish.. couldnt resist them. two bolivian rams. :) ok i'm off to bed. I'll get some pics and...

Well I got my driftwood in the tank and went and put a bunch of my plants in there to see how they do. Today is day two and I only have two plants out of the twenty I put in there floating. So far so good :) Maybe If i'm successful I will start a planted journal and we can go on from there.    I...

Well its about time! Lol you have been wanting them for a long time now!! Mine eat everything from bloodworms to flake. They love the worms but its hard with the tigers.. Lolalgae and veggie wafers. Cucumber.. Anything really. Got three small wood pieces for my rescape when i do i. :) Sr about...

Yes its the mopani that I want. I took the oak out for now and am going to do a bunch of water changes to kinda get things freshened up. The wood smelled really bad so I think it was rotting.    My girlfriend just ignores me or changes the subject when I talk about it.. I think it just annoys...

It was white when it first started. But that was like a year ago. Its grey black fluffy stuff. looks like mold. Maybe thats why i'm having problems with my plants? Do you guys have any ideas on that?    Congrats on your spawning yet again! lucky girl you!    You are lucky that you have people...

Wow greenmumma. Really cool about your babies!!! :) I am severely jealous of your tank too!! It looks sooo good. You did a really good job with it. I told you that you would get it how you like it! Hope you get some new fishies out of your batch of wrigglers! :)

Yeah i'm gonna tear it down on a sat night when my girlfriend works so I can spend as much time on it as I need to. lol. She works 7p to 7a, so that leaves a big window! hahaha. Kinda wishing I was back in my 4 fter for that one. :) I have a poorly living pennywort in my big tank. Everything is...

Sorry I was at work and things dont show up right when i'm there.. lol I'm exited about fish money also! love having money to spend just on my tank. I need to get some plexiglass and make a couple new lids I think should be the first thing. fifty bucks for a sheet the right size to make two...

Its been a couple weeks now. going to get some veggie wafers to try too.  prob wont get rido f them ever

I feed mine algae wafers, veggie wafers, carnivore pellets, blood worms, cucumber, peas, they love it all. they also do best with a varied diet too so mix it up a bit. they are a fun fish but like to hide a lot, so lots and lots of hiding places for them! my polka dotted loaches are out all the...

Well I think I solved my issue with the 55 gal tank. Pretty sure I have someone that wants to buy it. so problem solved! haha oh well. just gives me more money to put towards getting more fish or what not. :) We will see what happens. 

Congratulations on the eggs!! Thats cool. My fish are still being a pain in the butt. The clowns are gonna have to go. Right now im trying to figure out where i could put my 55 gal tank in a good place maybe she would let me set that up for my plants... Probably just wishful thinking but maybe...

I need to get more lighting for how deep my tank is. Its two ft deep and even at the wattage i'm just not getting enough to keep em going. Well I guess if the loaches would leave them alone for a while it might work out good :) get rid of the clowns and make my 6ft jungle I want :)

The funny thing is that I usually have my hands in that tank at least once a day!!! Guess I have just went through a "dry" spell lately.. haha

That was my first time forgetting the heater. I hope not to do that again. I think it was three days now.. My basement is 45 deg so it probably didnt take long to dip down. poor little guy The worst i did before was forget the filter overnight. after a later feeding back when i used to turn...
