@Josh.... she is a big mama jumma lol..... that will be her name now. Though I am having second thoughts about her being the mama now as her gravid spot is still quite dark, where the smaller girl with the purple in her tail seems to not have a dark gravid spot now..... @Sophia..... it was too an accident..... I didn't mean it to happen Lol

I suspect this is the mama of the fry Pics of everyone

Lol.....ummmm, pretty ones!!!!! Honestly Josh I don't know, I don't think they are anything special as they were just an accidental purchase at Animates a couple of weeks ago and I'm pretty sure at least one of the females was already pregnant..... but I don't care, they are cute, and they are tiny and my fishies made them lol Yay!!!!!

I think I have some guppy fry :bounce:

Does anyone know of anyone that has any of these available at the moment?

No worries..... the only difference at the moment is that I've planted some dwarf hairgrass in the empty places near the front of the tank

Bump for Sophia

I'll bump my progress thread for you

Give them some sparkling wine.... that helps me come out of my shell a bit lol..... They might come right once they settle in a bit maybe...... I found that with my Pandas I wouldn't see them much at first, but now they happily hang out at the front of the tan, never hide and spend many happy hours chasing each other up and down the tank.... such fun to watch......

Not useful tips, information or suggestions but..... I accidentally procured some guppies too a couple of weeks ago.... I thought I was nuts.... but they are just such beautiful fish, I love the colours and they are characters to watch too.... they are currently in the new setup until I find a job and can afford my killies......

Hehe, thanks Jen.... at the moment they are in a net breeder hanging off my community tank but I don't want to leave them in there too long which is why I was thinking about putting them into the new setup to let them grow out a bit before I put them into the big tank

Ahhh, okay..... cool thanks Ira

Okay, so I'm going to ask a dumb question.... but what do you mean by the water being "basic"?

Thats true, I didn't think about that lol Mind you since I want Clown killies it will probably be a while before I can afford to get them (if there are any available) since I am sill looking for a job, and it was so weird looking at a tank with no fish in it lol

Crypts came today.... so Cryptomania corner is now complete.... I'll see if I can get a couple of photos tonight.... currently my 2 glowlight tetra are testing out the new facilities, so far they seem to think that the rear right corner is the best place to hang out lol

I bought some wee baby blue mystery snails... they are between 3-5mm, as strange as this may sound does anyone know if they will be okay to put into the new tank while its still cycling? ie will they survive the cycle process??

Thanks guys..... I'm just waiting for the crypts for Cryptomaniac corner :happy2: And decide who I want to cycle it with lol

Okay, so i got a little bit fancy I guess....... almost finished..... :bounce:

Hi and welcome..... I hope you enjoy your time here

I just hold the vac slighty above the sand, still sucks up some but only a little.... I also use a fork to rake up the sand a bit so it doesn't get dead spots lol

Too much experience in my opinion..... pretend to be a newbie like me and I'm sure you'll be having problems growing it in no time hehe

Thanks Zev..... the good thing about being the crazy fish lady is that I know I'm in good company lol I'll put some pics up today of the tank so far....

Yay!!!!!!!!!!! You are officially looking at the newest member of the Killie Club :happy2: Tank hardscaping has commenced and plants are now all ordered..... I'm so glad I can come here to share my excitement.... I'm pretty sure most of my friends just think I'm a crazy fish lady lol

The tank does have a filter that has a rack in the top that it fits into..... just that it means the plants along the back of the tank won't really get any light..... but I guess I should really just see how they go and if it becomes a problem then I can sort it later

Okay, does anyone know if these mini canister filters are any good? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Pets-animals/F ... 485985.htm
