Foxjxa Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 I've finally got my camera working and decided to test it out taking pics of my clowns' tank! It's looking a bit cheesy at the moment, what with the couple of random ornaments and variety of plants - and it will continue to look that way until I get my hands on some more java moss! Anyway, here it is: (With my great light, which heats the tank more than it brightens it!) The little guy stalking his freeze-dried bloodworms... Close up, with a nice reflection. My female was far too shy to get in front of the camera, and there is an otto hidden in there somewhere as well. Unfortunately my camera can't capture the real beauty of my little clown, he's fins are really gorgeous and he even flares up his fins for me in person. Awesome little fish. Hopefully once I get more java moss and get rid of the ornaments and some of the other plants, they will become baby-making machines! 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxjxa Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 *Update* Added some more java moss, it doesn't look like much from this angle, but from above there's only a tiny bit of space in the corner for the otto! Almost as soon as I had finished rearranging the tank, my little guy was out and about chasing his 'Missus', (who seems to enjoy hiding in the moss now)! The poor Otto obviously felt a bit suffocated at first, but after a few mintues he settled down and munched on an algae wafer before going off to hide as well. No sign of any baby killie's* yet, but hopefully that'll change soon! *fingers crossed* *Lots of baby snails have suddenly appeared, however. The irony. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ej Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hi Fox, I am pleased to see, you have removed the crainium from the aquarium! To get rid of the small snails, firstly I recommend you soak any plants to be used in any tank in allum water, and if as you have noticed small snails in the aquarium, introduce a couple of chain loaches, they will eat any new baby snails. Hope this helps! Cheers, EJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ej Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hi Dixon, Yes you are right the Chain Loach will eat the small fry, but the snails will also eat the eggs from the Clown's, you therefore in my opinion, have to remove the sanils first.
