penguinleo Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Darn it....unfortunate that some members can't see the pics. :-? But photobucket is so~ slow! It takes me over an hour to upload all the pics and stuff. :lol: Can anyone recommend me a good quick photo uploading site other than photobucket? And make sure the site is good enough so everyone can see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 why would it take so long to upload to PB??? mine usually upload pretty fast. Are you downsizing the pics before uploading or are you letting Photobucket reduce the size of the pics?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I downsize the pictures before uploading them. My internet is reasonably fast so usually isn't a problem... :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quack Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 i use picture trail, that seems simple and quite fast, takes me a couple of mins to upload a few pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 Thanks quack. I'll try that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Here is another go. Exactly the same pictures but hopefully they will show... :roll: Mrs Schwartz My green pine pearling My new amazon sword. Echinodorus parviflorus 'Tropica'. Bought it as emersed form so should become more lush and larger. Was planning to buy 5 Ottocinclus but my LFS had only 2 left. Here is one of them. My Red Lotus. I bought a pretty large bunch. Had 10 leaves on it.. The red will become more intense in strong light. Enjoy :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Starting to take shape, love the pearling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antwan Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Tank is looking great man, and is only going to get better. I'm now quite certain your apisto's are A.sp.pebas as there are no spps. of apisto called Apistogramma huallaga, and it looks exactly the same as my old pebas'.

Feelers Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I can't see anything but a dotphoto place holder? (Although now I'm writing a reply I can see them in the topic review part. ) Good stuff. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Pebas eh? Hmm...I will still call him MR Huallaga though. A good name. That is if he was still here... A few days ago, he went missing for 4 days. I searched the entire aquarium but he was no where to be seen. So I thought he jumped out and I searched all over but no luck. Unfortunately on the 4th day I found him all dryed up behind the aquarium...first time a fish jumped out for me...a bit sad really. Maybe I should get another pair from Phil.

quack Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 got any updated pic to show?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Sorry. No updates yet. Well, the ambulia has reached the top. :lol: I am currently having trouble with a massive algae bloom in the water. I can't see anything through the left and right sides of my tank. All green. :-? I went to my LFS and talked to the staff about it they say it gets really annoying and hard to get rid of without affecting the biological bacteria. So I got a UV Sterilizer and am planning to install it today. Also a 45% water change tommorow. :roll: Really hating this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianemone Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 try upping the CO2 and maybe put in a few more plants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 < UPDATE (27/01/07): > Quite significant changes with the tank and it's inhabitants. Here are some of the major changes that have occured: *My Red Lotus has changed colour to a deep pinkish red. (Refer to previous page to compare the difference) *The position of some plants have changed. *Bit more algae here and there. *Bought a UV Sterilizer (Pondmaster 9Watts) and managed to CLEAR the water from the major algae bloom! And no serious damage was inflicted on my plants or fish. *Added some new fish: 1 more Otocinclus, 4 Tri-line (red line) Torpedo barbs. Very cool fish.. *Added some new plants *My female Apistogramma Peba jumped out of the tank a few days ago. Managed to save her just in time.. The male died by the way, (refer to previous page) and I bought another pair from Phil. Arriving on Tuesday. And finally here are the photos. Used Photobucket this time so everyone should be able to enjoy! :bounce: New Ozelot Sword Moved to foreground New UV Sterilizer powered by the canister filter. Took me at least two hours to get everything installed. :roll: Tri-line (Red line) Torpedo Barbs Will keep updating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Torpedo barbs - my favourite fish at the moment. I also love star grass but can't have it in my tank as the fish strip it bare within 24 hours Looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Thanks Torpedo barbs are currently my favourite fish as well. But a bit expensive.. :-? What fish do you keep that strips down your stargrass Caryl? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi, I love your tank!! Do you have a layer of the fertiliser under the gravel or is it mixed in with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I have barbs :lol: (not torpedos yet) The rosy barbs rip into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguinleo Posted January 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Rosy barbs huh? I personally never kept any type of barbs besides these torpedo barbs and black line flying foxes. Do all barbs rip plants apart? :lol: Hope these Torpedos don't! And adodge, I have a layer of fertiliser under the gravel. Not mixed together. The ground fert. seems to boost plants root growth significantly. Maybe even too much...I pulled out one of my amazon swords to replace it with a Ozelot sword and the root was at least 35cm long. And that was for a plant 1/3 that length. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
