Thats kinda funny but look on the brightside I have 19 neons for sale to replace your 2 :lol:

Prices depend of which ones you are wanting to buy. They have neon dwarf rainbows for $40 for 2 pairs, bosmani for $23 a pair, lyretails can't remember prices and also a few other kinds which are between $20-$30 for a pair.

Nice pic. I've been eyeing up a pair of boesmani at Hollywoods

Hey I saw that tank sitting in Hollywoods :lol:

They are doing great. I just brought a Sera co2 system for $350 and a JBL underground heater for $50 :bounce:

Have you got glass lids on your tank? if so take them off so the heat can escape. That should help.

Are they breeding pairs?

Very nice

Very nice. Are those the ones from pupuke?

I would give it a go with those pools but my dog likes splashing around in them and if there were fish in there he'd think its christmas again :-?

Thanks

Yeah it is and hopefully with the co2 it'll be even quicker you should come over and have a look and tell Nick to come and pick up his dvds :lol:

Stella - Sorry I didn't see your post last night. The gravel isn't actually blue its just the pics. What do you mean covering the back where the rockwork isn't? you mean the sides of the tank? I have posted some more info in the members freshwater tanks if anyone wants to tank a look.

Thanks. Apart from the uneven floor :lol:

I orginally wanted to get a brown sand to make it look like a kind of river but couldn't find any so just got this fine gravel and figured once the hairgrass and dwarf sage was grown in you won't really see it anyway.

That is my plan since I have planted the dwarf sage and some other hairgrass :lol: Snookie - Sorry you are right I shouldn't of put tetra only tank. If I can be bothered catching them though they are going.

Thanks for the nice comments. Yeah right now I have 1 of those nutrafin ones but I have just brought a proper one and am waiting for it to arrive then I just need to find a co2 bottle :bounce:

phoenix44 - Yeah it is a juwel background I just siliconed it to the back of the tank and let it dry for 2 days. As for the lighting I was actually thinkinf of getting a 4 x 24w t5 unit to put on top of it and put in 2 x Giesemann Powerchrome Aquaflora and 2 x Giesemann Powerchrome Mid Day 6000. Here are some more pics of the Emperors for you. I have 1 male and 3 females. I'm going to give breeding them ago. Stella - Thanks for the suggestion I might give it ago another thing I was thinking of doing was putting in a piece of driftwood. There is no lid because it is a rimless tank and having a lid on it would kind defeat the whole purpose of having a rimless tank. I'm hoping since it is a peaceful tank nothing will jump out fingers crossed. I have had it set up for about 2 and a half weeks now.

And a FTS:

Just thought I would post up some pics of my tetra only tank. What do you think? anything I can improve on? I have added it to the freshwater members tanks but its waiting to be approved so all the specs are in there. Anyway the tank is 60x50x40 so its 120L and its rimless with black silicon. Now for some pics:

Have you got an update? did you find more eggs?

I saw some dwarf neons in a lfs and they looked pretty cool.

I want to see pics of everyones rainbows I'm just getting back into freshwater and am facinated by them.

You wouldn't use methylene blue in a marine tank

I was just asking if he had a reef tank because he should know how much it costs to set up. At the beginning there is alot to be learnt and you are always learning new stuff in this hobby thats what makes it great all you have to do is read and read. Trust me once you start with a saltwater tank you will love it and be addicted
