Oh man that is beautiful alasse! Love the colors !

Well all the loaches are gone. Traded them for around a hundred red cherry shrimp. Put the tigers in the 20 long till i found them a home. They almost ate a fancy black skirt tetra alive. I gave all but the one tetra away too. But I didn't think she was going to make it. She was on the sand...

Lookin good!

I'll give it a try again this month! my 75gal planted. lots of nice tanks out there!       ok verification pic not that great... lol stupid phone

Looks good. Like the new rocks. Get some plants in there and it will look really sharp. :)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgy1F_RIw8o&feature=youtube_gdata_player Was thinking of you guys tonight and thought I'd share my progress. Been very busy lately... but the surgery have been successful for my girlfriends son. Cancer free. Poor guy has a silver dollar size hole right next to...

Everything is going ok. Have lost a couple tigers since the move. A few are missing parts of their tail. . Gets frustrating. But other than that I sold the big tank for 150. Same as I paid for it. I have not been to grand Rapids for the fish yet. It's gonna have to wait until the spring because...

is that 2 white skirt tetras? if so they should be in groups of 6 or more and they COULD be the ones nipping. My black skirt tetras when i had 2 were very nippy

Looks like a pretty good design to me! Cant wait to see this progress. :) have been very interested in doing my own led light setup just havnt had the time to mess with it. 

yeah my polka dots have been much better since i put them in the 20 long... right now they are sharing it with my skirted tetra until i meet up with this one person buying my 20 tall from me and i'm just giving them to her. other than that i have one tiger in there right now hanging in my big...

Well transfer was completely successful. I think i counted 25 tigers. And i got stabbed twice by the splines on the clown loaches... So 25 tigers 4 clowns 3 bolivian rams and 3 ottos (out of the 12 i bought) i like the lil things but they die so easy! Heres a pic so far. I stripped most of the...

Well i dont really WANT to downsize.Its more about the space really. Still have to finish the basement and just running out of room. Plus i think that it will work out better for my fish room. I can have two of those.... Shh.. LolI think i have 20 tigers right now. They are impossible to...

Well i have made the decision. Im downgrading from the 135 gal down to a 75 gal. Think it will go better for what i want out of it. :( will be selling the clowns soon. I bought the tank today. 170 with glass tops and light. (gonna sell the light) figured that was a good enough deal to take the...

I'm jealous about the wisteria. I have to keep bio Chem Zorb in my hob filter to keep the brown out of my water or it seems to attach to the leaves of the wisteria. We will see how they do without the loaches. They were tearing them apart too bad... :( well congrats on the bn breeding. Sorry...

Well looks like I'm selling all the loaches. Found someone that wants them for her 220 gal aquarium with more clowns. :) she is going to drive completely across the state to get them too! Now what to get to replace them.... Lol

Well not so lucky one of the clowns has a couple spots, glad i turned the temp up when i did. Hopefully it goes away soon. :( i know the ottos dont like the heat

Well i hope i'm not speaking too soon again... but there are NO signs of it infecting the big tank. Keeping it at 84 for the time being. all the polka dot loaches are still in the 20 gal tank.

Thats a good question. Just wish I had looked closer before I put it in the main tank....

Good thing its just a qt tank then! Cuz the loaches are over 30 at full grown

So now I have 6 ottos. 6 small tiger barbs. And 6 polka dot loaches in a 20 gal tank. Would that be considered overstocked?? Lol

The trap worked wonders. All the polkadots are in qt now. Hope the clowns dont get it!!!! Raising temp to 84 either way on both tanks. Dont see any cysts on the ottos. Hope they dont have it. Will be doing overtime this weekend with water changes in the qt im sure. Should go get a bigger filter...

Omg the one had ich... im so pissed at myself right now. Fish trap time Caught two bolivians. One was smart enough to mosey on out after a good bloodworm dinner. 4 polka dots including the ich one. And two albino tigers... lol. Going for the other two polkadot loaches if I can

Ah I spoke too soon. One of the loaches died. Somehow got in my filter intake and was lodged in the impeller. No idea how it could of happened. Maybe they watched finding nemo too many times... lol I have four clown loaches and they hang out in the rocks most of the time. Not sure they would...

Ok my polka dot loaches seem to be getting meaner. Im hoping that a couple more when they go in will do them some good. They are even picking on the clown loaches.... no damage though. Starting to wonder if they were a bad choice. Will have seven after I add the two after the qt period. Any...

I found my 6in clown laying on its side a while back. And I should be used to this.... but I ran to the tank an as usual it jumps up darts to the other side of the tank and just looks at me like "well that was rude. Just wait until your sleeping.... " lol.

Thats a bummer. :( mine have been great. No problems out of them... lol just the polka dot loach that is a little ninja... have not had anymore problems out of that one though. Strange!!

Very... I'm about to put them up for sale. 

Omg im about to get rid of all the loaches. Im tired of re planting everything.....

Lol its cool. glad your lookin out :) Now to find something to soak my "tree" in. :) Any suggestions on where to put it in the tank??

Cool thanks for all your help! How long does mopani last?

Would it be bad if it were grape? It is real hard. One piece is a little softer. My knife is sharp enough to shave the hair on my arm and its a struggle to get shavings from it. I think it may be harder than oak. Its definately dry. Correction it is harder than oak. There is a branch in the...

Its been a good week for me. I got some new fishies and a friend of mine found some sticks while cleaning out someones house that look really really cool. They seem pretty hard but i'm not sure about them. I posted a thread in tropical discussion if you wouldnt mind looking at them for me! I'm...

A friend of mine found these branches that were very cool but we have no idea where they came from. They were in someones house. The wood is very hard, I cannot dig it with my fingernails at all. was wondering if anyone had any idea what it looks like and if it would be safe to put in my tank...

only one entry? wow!

 

I tell ya the polka dots really enjoy grazing on the hair algae. Too bad I coildnt keep it contained in the big tank. Would look kinda cool covering the rocks. Lol

Thats another reason I wouldnt buy them. They need to stay where they belong. :(

Like the new look of my 20 long? Lol. Added a algae rock from the pond

Ok I was a bad boy today... went to petsmart and got 6 tiger barbs 4 ottos and they had 2 bigger polkadot loaches.... was not ready to spend 25 on two fish but they were lonely in there and begging me to get them.... so I got 12 fish. Looks like I will be doing a lot of water changes... On the...
