Gatito Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 What's happening with your tanks at the moment? What have you got running, and do you have any plans for change? I have 3 tanks at the moment - a 240L community of gold & pearl gourami, rosy tetra, BN, clown loaches and khuli loaches (also currently holding my adolfo cories, albino cories, wild mollies a few ember and green neon tetra, and my krib pair), my guppy tank and a small tank with 1 male and 3 female bettas. This weekend i'll be setting up 2 more, one 2ft will hold my krib pair, and probably the ember tetras & green neons, and maybe the wild mollies. The 2nd will be a bigger guppy tank and will also house the cories. Am thinking about whether the mollies would be better off with the kribs or in the comm. tank - my male guppies tend to chase them :? Am also looking into keeping blue rams, which i love but need to learn a bit more about (and probably get another new tank ) and thinking about getting into breeding fancy guppies - i have some swordtails (have lost sight of some of the females as they look pretty similar to most of the others :oops: ), the males of which are young but colouring up nicely.

Caryl Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Nothing is going on with my tank. It is a 250L tropical with various tetras, barbs and gouramis (not to mention the loaches, bristlenoses and hoplos). Heavily planted, understocked, and well filtered it has been running quite a few years now. All I do to it is the occasional water change every 3 or 4 months and prune the plants :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milet Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Nice. I have my 4 foot tank as a temporary home for my Clown Knifefish and Pleco. I'm still changing it all around and I'm thinking of changing the substrate so I can put my Geophagus in there and some eels when the Knife leaves. The knife will be leaving once he has outgrown the 4 foot and into a 6 foot. Next to that I have my 3 foot which holds a small school of tiger and rosy barbs, Moonlight Gourami, Snakeskin Gourami, Geophagus Surinamensis, some kribensis (albino and normal) and My two Pufferfish are temporarily living in there untill One of my other tanks are free. And another 3 foot wich holds My breeding angelfish, a chinese algae eater, a Bristlenose and a Jag cichlid is in a guppy breeder in that tank untill i find him a new home. We also have a 3 foot with some big axolotyls, my puffers old 70L wich currently has a couple hundred tadpoles in it and then theres aarons(dixon1990)2or3 thanks too.

davidb Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Nothing much happening with my Tanks. My mum is being a real b***h at the moment about all the tanks in my room and wants me to sell my 350L tank I haven't yet setup but I don't want to. so I'm doing a big change around of tanks dispersing tanks around the house. The 4 foot will prob end up outside with Koura in... Dunno how good that will be but worth a try 8) Meanwhile my Suvatii will be moving into the hallway and my Axo's into another room. Thus she can't complain about the dampness of my bedroom when it only has 4 small tanks in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
je_suis_ketan Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I have a 3ft (200L) tank community tank. Currently with 10 Neons, 10 Emerald Eyes, 6 Pearl Gourami, 1 Dwarf Gourami (one passed away recently ) , 1 Male Betta, 2 Clown Loaches, 2 Red Spot Plecos. I would like to get a few more Clown Loaches as mine seem to be a bit shy, they are getting better though. But still hide when someone comes near the tank. Always looking for something new for the tank 8) My sis wants a small tank to house a single Red Male Betta, so am looking around for suitable tanks for her.

Ianab Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Just set up a new 4 ft tank, at the moment its only got a 6" pleco and 6 tiger barbs in it. Getting another 8" pleco soon that I'm rehoming for a relative.. and I'm cogitating on what else to add :roll: Some small chiclids, a red tail shark, maybe some loaches...

new2discus Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I'm just waiting on a stand for my 4 x 2 x 2 ft tank to be built, then it will be all go! Have spent the last couple or more weekends stripping paint and then sanding rimu weatherboards to be used for the stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplecatfish Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I've got hold of some more rare hillstream loaches so I'm making that tank more favorable for them, the borneo suckers and the spotted sewellias. So I'm going to part with my kuhli loaches and I'm letting 75 small blonde guppies play with the pantadons (fav games: chasey and hide and seek :evil: ). It's ok that leaves about 50 left in the 3 ft tank, some of which are looking for homes. I've moved my two hara hara cats into the big tank as I think they'll like the reduced flow. And I'm still trying to decide what corys I'm going to introduce. But I'll have to part with the dwarf gouramis to do that. Once they've gone I'll also add another 30 cardinals to double the size of the school 8) . The only other change is to try and aquire a male pantadon so the resident girls can play house as well :lol: . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candy Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Well a lot has been happening my side of the woods... Im trying something a little diffrent and i know i few people would not recomended it but its working! Since the bf moved in we decied to re vamp the tank as smaller tank mates where going missing ( this is in the 4 foot by the way). Now some of you might remeber that i have a BGK, Butterfly and a bichir in the tank. I was tossing up on what other kind of non-edable fish to get and i relised i was very very limited. So i started looking in the Discus. so here is the tank as of now We changed the wood around added more plants and chose some discus. They have now been in the tank over 2 weeks and so far so good. I think its because my BGK and bichir are very lazy and dont do anything 99% of the time. Both have Feeding times and other then that they sit about doing nothing. The Red melon has even started chassing the BGK.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpidersWeb Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I've recently split with my partner, and moved back to Wellington again. Could only get two tanks in the van, got a pair of 200L 4ft tanks. 1 is very busy at the moment, with everything from Geo's through to my fire eel! Everyone is doing great but it's a mess at the moment! She has all the oscars, but I did get the Jaguar Cichlid, he's such a cool dude but unfortunately living in a 60L plastic container :oops: :oops: he has gravel, and a pot to hide in, plus a few danios (well HAD a few danios). Danios are my way of saying sorry to him lol cheers him up, he's got a 4ft tank in Hamilton I need to go pick up again. Love the cat tank Zev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
