Re-doing 3 tanks.

[Sorrell]

Tanks look great (still )
Where do you get those great rocks?

 

[freshmike]

Okay. Might as well make a list....

9-clown loaches
6-other loaches (polka dots and zebras, at least I think there are 6... )
2-sailfin plecs
1-tiger plec
1-royal plec
4-synodontis multipunctatus (cuckoo cats)
2-sciaenochromis fryeri (electric blues 1 male 1 female)
5-aulonocara hansbaenschi (1 male 4 females)
10-melanochromis maingano (wild)
1-pseudotropheus polit
4-pseudotropheus msobo
3-pseudotropheus ngara (white tail)
3-pseudotropheus mpanga (flame tail)
4-pseudotropheus demasoni (my offspring, planning to add more....)
4-pseudotropheus saulosi
6-cynotilapia afra
3-labidochromis freibergi
3 labidochromis perlmutt
....and the brichardi I said wasn't going in....somehow he outsmarted me again...it's difficult having an IQ of 12 sometimes.... (outsmarted by a fish )


I think I got them all......

I steal them from a road side turn-out in a town about a half an hour from here....
I mean I borrow them indefinitely....bad me.

 

[freshmike]

The 180-50 and 15 are visible here...the 15 is a grow out, bad place for it, but I ran out of room... )

Hi FM!!!

I'm sorry about you getting rid of some fish, but everyone needs change now and again!!

I LOVE how active the 180 is......I really do!!! It's just that........well.......how do I say........I just think it needs a little green )

 

[freshmike]

...and here is the 50....

Looks sort of bare to me. There were alot of rocks in there earlier today....

I am sure I will be messing with these two tanks quite a bit within the next two days....just need to get used to them and get them just right...like that is possible Never satisfied. That's me.

So here are the fronts I kept, my favs by far. burundis are SO much prettier than kigomas (6 vs 7's) These are the "girls" as far as I know...3 are for sure, still wondering about the one that grew extremely fast.....if it's a male, I hope he isn't as mean as Frankenstein....ugh Franky...bye buddy

If the truth be known, I was having problems with the fronts anyway...beatings....I am pretty sure most of the 7 bars were males, if not all of them. Certain means of death. Gargamell would have killed all of them...They will get great homes I am sure...I will probably actually know where they go.

This tank:
4-burundi frontosa
2-neolamprologus brichardi (wild)
1-neolamprologus savoryi (wild)
2-neolamprologus leleupi
2-julidichromis marlieri
2-flying fox (dunno why)
1-albino sailfin plec
1-common plec (only one I have)

don't bother with the plants, more rocks wouldn't hurt though, you can never have too many

 

[silver]

I kind of do!!! )

Anyhow......

I absolutely am in love with your fronts tank. They are sooo beautiful and special and lovely and the tank is PERFECT.........no comments, well.....no criticizing (sp?) comments anyhow!!!!

Thank you Arashi! There are 9 clowns in there actually....6 biggunsand the 3 smaller ones got moved as well....gonna have to keep a close eye on the small ones though...they like to get ich after tank changes....

Mind you...dunno if you remember the big seashell I have or not, Julie says it is a conch? However, I was cleaning the 50 one day when that shell was in there...thought I had all of anything that could have been in there out...but apparently I had forgotten that I had clowns in that tank or something....anyway...15 minutes after I had removed the shell from the tank and all the water from the shell....I looked back at the shell, I think I was looking for a certain rock to put back in the tank...and saw something orange...WAS A CLOWN!!! He had been on the towel the whole time...and his buddies too....I thought for sure they were going to die, or were already dead, but nothing....they didn't even get sick...hopefully I have as much luck with the tank move.

I am not a God of anything
I just seem to be able to put together tanks that people like sometimes....
Thank you for the compliment though!~

 

[Arashi]

So all 9 clowns get to be together at last huh? Thats so sweet. Hope they are all getting along.

Wow...sounds like you have some tough little clowns there. Glad to hear there were no deaths or sicknesses.
