Wow, that's pure class. I like it a lot. :thup:
Looking around my house now to see if I can do something like that. But alas, I don't have any suitable area. May have to move now. :dno:
-
:nfs: WOW! That's real purdy... Awesome stuff.

Looks great. Heaps of light in there already. You are gonna have some fun getting it all set up.
:cophot: :gopo:

Thanks. Last night they were a bit skiterish under the halide. As soon as the light was of they were active as together, same thing this morning. So hopfully a couple of days of the halide and they will be tight all the time.
My Embers still do this several months later. But as the leaves on my lotus get larger and taller they have more space to move about in, while still basking in the shade the big leaves give them. I guess they just don't like the light too bright. They only come out from under the leaves at feeding time, or when the light is off.

They look really cool in there. I think they like their new home. :cophot:
-
Now that's something that not everyone has as pets. Way cool. What do you do with the crocs when they get too big though?

Best show on TV at the moment is "Hello Ladies" with Stephen Merchant. Only bad thing about it is it's only 30min long.
Absolutely hilarious. Brilliant.

LOL, love the coconut shell hut. Looks like a little village.
Does he ever go into it?

I'd keep only female platy unless you want lots and lots more... :sage:
-
did she breed yet? sometimes lady fish stop growing after they first spawn/birth
No, she is still a baby (size wise) and there are no males. I got rid of them all to stop the population explosion.
She is perfectly formed but about 2/3 the size of the Neon Tetras. If anything her fins are a little long for her size, but not by much.
what are your nitrate readings, live bearers tend to get stunted growth in nitrates much above 20ppmIt's a heavily planted tank so usually all the Nitrates get used up and not much more than 0, however I did see them get to around 20 a month or so ago, so I stepped up the water changes. All her siblings grew up though. Just this one stayed small.

I have a little girl that stopped growing when she got to about 1.5cm. She's about 3-4 months old now. She's orange with black tail and fins. Every other baby platy I've had would have been full grown by now and having babies of their own.
Is this common for a platy to stop growing? It would be cool if they were all this size. A lot less mess.

Plenty of people put terracotta pots in their aquariums and I would suspect the bricks are made out of the same base material being clay.

Easy to see what a HUGE difference just a little bit of green makes. :bggrn:
Very nice so far.
-
A very interesting post. Thanks for sharing.
Also, damn nice looking fish you have created too. :cophot:

I found a big piece of wood at Animates. :bggrn:
Mind you I had to swap them a fair bit of cash before I could take it home... :an!gry
-
What an awesome scene you have created. Love it. :cophot:
BTW if you did want to get rid of the algae off your rocks and the silk plants, just soak them in really hot water for a few minutes then a quick scrub. No chemicals required.

Time for a quick update....
Since the moss is gone the fern is doing much better now. :happy1:
I didn't like the moss as it seemed to trap a lot of debris in it and every time I moved it all kinds of dirt came out of it.
-
I can almost imagine little blossoms popping up on those wee branches. Wouldn't that be cool.
Looks great dude. Are there any plans for moss or the like on the branches, or are you going to leave it clean like that?
:cophot:
-
Yep, lotsa small fish over a few large fish for me too. :thup:
-
Very nice photo. :iag:

You can also use a small plastic jug and tip the new water in one jug at a time slowly. :thup:

Not easy to tell from the picks but my guess would be whitespot and the fish is producing extra slime as a reaction to that.
Really? He's had it for about 6 months now and I did have a couple of platys get white spot a few weeks ago, and the Wondertonic did seem to get rid of it from the platys within a week. It was the same tank so that would have got rid of it from my little Gourami as well if it was the case. Regardless, if it is just too much slime, then that's not a bad thing is it? Just doesn't look nice.
Its like teenage zits.:sml1: Yes it is a bit like the stuff that comes out when you squeeze a zit. I hope that's all it is. It is getting a bit worse though lately. He's getting old now and started to slow down a bit. Maybe I'll just wipe it off again. Not sure he enjoys that experience though. :dunno:
Thanks guys for the quick replies though.

I've had this fish for about a year now. This stuff started appearing about 6 mths ago and has recently started getting much worse, as in spreading over more of his body. It used to be only near the base of his tail but now is on his head as well. It appears to be coming from between his scales.
It looks a bit like the kind of oily gunk that comes out of human pores.
It must irritate him as he often slaps his side against plants or the thermometer, although not constantly.
It is worse on one side of his body than the other, It's not white spot and is unaffected by either Wundertonic or Furan-2.
I have occasionally taken him out of the tank and successfully wiped the stuff off with Melafix and cotton wool. But it starts coming back after just a few days.
He has about 80 little fish mates and he is the only one that has this.
Has anyone else seen this before, or have any idea how I can treat this problem?

Those platy's look bloody awesome.... Who would have thought eh!
Very nice. :cophot:
This is how my day went today

6 Discus in your tank will look awesome. (from your photos in the Members tanks area)
Also, I find the easiest way to catch fast moving small fish is to get a much bigger net. Use your smaller net to chase them into the big net. Also, with the bigger net sometimes you can just bring it up underneath them and catch them that way. :bggrn:
