too late :lol:

Next time I shall do that. I put the lights out and the eggs were gone in minutes.

EDIT - see the video though!

That's an amazing video. So funny how carefully they 'plant' those little cornrows. :lol:

Nice vid - every time I hear An der schönen blauen Donau, it reminds me of a tedious spacewalk!

I found my grandad's old tripod that he must have bought 50 odd years ago in Geneva and used that to hoist the camera.

I used my normal camera to take the video, so im pretty pleased about the quality of the video, but it took forever to upload to youtube.

I have the whole footage at 1080p so im stoked about that.

Next time ill check to see if the eggs are fertile.

hehehe the cardinal tetra in the background wants to get in on the action

20 of them wanted to get in on the action.

soon to be 32

There will be more eggs tonight

Exactly one week since the last batch.

I just love your tank. It is just amazing. My tank would make you cringe away in disgust.

Thanks joe. I've done a fair bit of cropping a couple of days ago so its not all that flash at the moment, but i'll post pics in a few more days.

Added another 10 cardinals to the tank too.

My agazzis should arrive in a week.

We all have to start somewhere, Joe, and everyone has something to learn.

I should post a pic of my cube and scare Nick with the creepy algae

DO IT :lol:

yeah joe. A few years ago I had this tank -

Yes. Those are plastic plants :lol:

I still have those plants somewhere in a bag... hidden far out of sight.

So today I did some more shopping.

I put a new tube on one of the light hoods, and bought 2 new pleco breeding hollow logs. Can't believe I'm putting darn ornaments in my tank. Gah! But it must be done.

These are the logs -

And this is where they are going in the tank -

Now I can only hope that the hypans find the caves.

ghd? :lol: Why am I not surprised?

:oops: (the hair does not make itself you know...) :oops:

GHD - Had a smile about that too....

Gah. I wish someone could make pretty natural ornaments.

:-?

Why not stuff it in amongst all those plants? You wouldn't even see it.

Because its too dense. there is no gravel visible. its all plants. I guess the plants will grow around it eventually.

Now I just hope the plecos find it, cause they normally only ever sit on the LHS of the tank where I feed the fish.

I don't think the fake log detracts from the ugly filter intake, anyway... :roll:

Cover it in moss...or cultivate some staghorn to grow all over it. 8)

staghorn.... i hate that word. i keep seeing little bits and panic. then i attack it with scissors.

might cover it in moss. :lol:

I'll do it on Monday or when i finish my special iwagumi project i have planned.

Iwagumi? How are you going to contain your forest instincts? 8) :lol:
