Fay Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 SWAPED MY ANEMONE FOR A CARPET WITH PIES Pick up went good but couldn't find him at the airport scared the shit out of me I should have taken a sign because I didn't know what he looked like. He came up to me in the end and said are you Fay :lol: Got it home at 10.30pm and put the bag in a big plastic jug I have and took out 20ltrs of tank water and put it in a container with tap and dripped water in slowly for one hour. After the hour was up I put the nem in a bucket and changed the water twice with tank water and then carefully put the nem in it special prepared place it is supposed to be a sand nem but I couldn't get it down into the hole I had made because it suck to everything it could it is really sticky. I had turned all the lights on the tank on and waited it was half in the hole and half out after another hour turned the metal halide off and just left the T5's on and lay on the lounge suite to watch fell asleep and woke up about 4.30am in a panic with the lights still on it was still in the same place so I turned the lights off and went back to sleep Frog came out at 6am and it had climbed out of it's hole but is still in the same place and the clowns were in it, bugger I had missed it they didn't go near it when I put it in the tank. The sun is on it as I write but I will need to make a few adjustments this morning as the clowns keep sweeping at the sand I will try and find a rock to cover the sand. Have taken some photos will post them tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fay Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Is that Ashley I see playing in the Carpet ? looks like he has grown into a nice big boy. Ashley is the smaller of the pair yes he has grown. Question for Alois why has the Saddleback I got off Trinity got a black nose and the one I got off Jansens a brown nose? They both came from you but are they the same type of Saadleback they get on really well better than the original pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female vrs male? or could just be natural, you can get slight colour differences between fish of the same species. Alois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope so it's just that the original pair had the same nose colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
