Afrikan Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Hiya I have finally have my new Geo Tank set up I was spoilt for my xmas/birthday and received a tank, however, I ask myself was it much of a surprise after dropping the heavy hints to the man with the credit card :roll: :lol: Anyway, here are a few pics.. it's only been recently set up so it is nowhere near finished Sorry about the pic quality, haven't managed to master the camera as yet with all those fiddly functions :-? :roll: And here is a pic of my little Suri juvenile..

Afrikan Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 The tank is 5ft.. Fish in there are my favs: 4 x Dumerilli Angel 6 x Jurupari 2 x Suris 3 x Hoplo 12 x Columbian Tetra 4 x Iquito Plec 1 x Raphael Cat 1 x Marble Cat 1 x Keyhole Cichlid We will be expanding into a second Geo tank at some stage soon, as the younger Geo's grow... so that will just leave my big breeding pair of Jurupari in the tank shown... and I have some Geophagus steindachneri arriving tomorrow Can't wait...

Aquarium Dude Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Awsome, What's the backround, it looks like rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 YAY! no Africans :evil: 8) Nice mekhaela, You need to get those Dumerilii breeding for me though Geos are cooooool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afrikan Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Thanks guys.. it's nowhere near finished, so will send some more pics with progress Need to make a few changes and fine tuning I am proud tho, as I grew all that Cabomba in my planted tank.. so neat when you can grow your own plants to a nice size, I really needed to thin it out, so that's the "thin outs" :lol: AD - It is rock backing you get from the LFS.. I don't like that tacky plant look backing so went with the natural look Ants - I am sure you could come down and do a far better landscape for me Rogan - Yeap no Africans, they fill up the rest of the house :lol: :lol: And the Dumerilli are growing and still showing pairing off signs, so I am going to have to get my butt into gear and get them sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afrikan Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Always had Juris and other rock gobblers in with plants :lol: never had a problem, give them enough room for them to sift substrate and they are fine and dandy.. My pair around the 20 cm mark. Infact they laid their last lot of eggs on a broad leafed Crypt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
