sorry for not posting for so long but i have been waiting to get some good pics with my new camera(Nikon D5100)
this is only a short update but i will be post more pics and a full update soon
these are shots i have taken of my fish to show what they look like high resolution
i have started heating and added a pump and will be getting the salt soon.
any dosing recommendations and how often should I re dose and how many water changes?
I only have 1 tank and am only allowed 1 tank so no I had no chance to quarantine them.
I will post about my progress and hope things will work out.
So salt is safe for apistos?
i guess it was one of the fish i got from organism who had i and because mainly the cardinals have it i guess it was them
this article suggests otherwise http://www.cichlid-forum.com/articles/ich.php
i have south american fish i.e carinals(the only ones with it right now), panda cories, bristlenoses, apisto. agassizi, laetacara curviceps and rocket pencilfish so i am unsure that they can handle the salt.
hi all,
i have just discovered that my tank is infected with white spot. :an!gry
i have looked around on the net to see how to treat it and have found that raising the temperature too 30'C and dosing copper would be my best bet.
any advice would be greatly appreciated
cheers
thanks
the bristlenoses are amazing when they swim because all their fins fold out and it looks like they double in size
the pencil fish have started getting red and blue anal fins and its quite spectacular to have a closer look at them
So this Thursday I got my last(hopefully not) bach of fish for now:
9 more cardinals
4 rocket pencil fish
1 male red long fin bristlenose
1 more male laetacara curviceps but it looks like its a female and her and my male are a pair.
+ some anubias to grow half above, half below the water.
full school of cardinals
male laetacara curviceps full color
4th above water leaf
and last but not least a good pic of the female agassizi
Does anyone have any suggestions on special stuff I could feed my fish???????? e.g. Joe fed his macmasteri some yeast a while back and that was intriguing.
thanks,
did a water change today and fed my fish mosquito larvae afterwards
(camera was on a weird angle)
full tank shots
terrestrial plants
echinodorus argentenis??? 3 leaves have grown out of the water
and the munted one
good luck in germany,
i grew up there and the aquatic trade there is amazing.
cardinals are the neons there. they sell for 2 euros each.
the best store for anything pet wise is koele zoo
thanks
I will remember that. :thup: Petworld didn't label it so I was unsure what it was. :facepalm: . rotala seemed like the best bet>
will do :thup: :thup:
sorry for not updating for so long.
so what's happened:
I moved the hygropholia to cover the whole back glass and the rotala to the left side under the spray bar.
I got the echinodorus quadricostatus and planted it in the front of the tank.
I brought 10 cardinals(plus another 10 which I will pick up in 2 weeks)
(they got really pale during transport but colored up after half an hour in the tank)
I got a pair of double red apistogramma agassizi
Male:
(excuse the snail)
Female
Together:
and a pic of the laetacara getting black spots
i think it's just a different type of tank(so to say)
its a regular low tech planted tank
and most of the others are high tech high effort high quality professional aquascapes
its funny how in every category there are 1-2 tanks that seem to be in it to troll them e.g.

no offense intended
