Latest Fish!

[Duck and Dive]

Hi,

I have decided to get rid of two of my old guppy tanks and treat myself with a new tank Juwel Rio 180. The tank is now about 3 weeks old and I have filled the top half of my filter with mature media out of the first as now it has no fish in it. I am still yet to add my babies from my biOrb.

Here is a shot of the tank:

Here are my favorite 2 guppies:

1st

2nd

My swordtails:

A couple of platies ( female is a very deep red ):

My male bristlenose (longfin albino):

And female:

And last but not least 1 of my corys from my breeding group, there are 9 in total.

Hoped you liked them

Comments are welcome!

I couldn't get any decent pics of the females as they were too quick lol.

Oh and which of my guppies do you prefer 1st or 2nd?

Thanks.

Love the tank, it looks brilliant and will look even better once the plants have grown a bit. My fav would be the second guppy due to the unusual tail

 

[tropic_john]

they both look guppy-endler hybrids but the 2nd looks about 75% endler lol

I think I prefer the first guppy to the other. Unlike Tropic John, I don't see any endler in them and I breed endlers so I do know what they look like.

He is my favorite as well I think, I like the body pattern and the tail shape and colouration, better than the 2nd. And I have to agree with Oldman as I see no endler in either of them as well.

Thanks Ben! Im just waiting for the vallis and giant vallis to grow a bit so it covers the back a bit more. And mabe get a carpetig plants uch as some elentinodes (watch spelling on that).

I only have 4 guppies in there at the mo and 20 fry in a breeding trap, and I need to move m 8 other guppies from my biOrb and go pester my LFS for some good ones.

OMG!!! Tank = .
So you're going to stock with almost all guppies then? I prefer the second one personally, I'm not keen on greatly enlarged tails on guppies. I think they look too... man-made.
What happened to that veiltail swordtail? Some of those would look stunning in there if she ever had fry.

Erm, the swordtail died a few weeks back...

She had been feeding like crazy! Looked fine but I came home one day and she was dead... I was completly shocked and very sad. I don't know why it happened, she didn't give birth either.

Well I am going to see if I can get myself some other decent swords, high fin platys and lots of others.
I will be searching!

Thanks for the comments on the tank, it will look better when the plants have grown a bit more, ill put up new pics in a week as i am fertilising the plants as well.
