phoenix44 Posted December 14, 2009 Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 8 pages and I have not posted! what is the fluffy red stuff? (like the tank too - you now need peacock bass, but that is another battle to win hahahha). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2009 the fluffy red stuff is plastic plant spoon sent me not quite the right colour but i thought it would give harassed fish somewhere to hide bass would be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoon Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 i think the plant is meant to be some kind of seaweed i came across in my last job , how did the fake kelp go LA? i was amazed to find that at the dump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 the jar made the move with one split fin 1st aro no damage the next one, big girl snout and fin damage lars probably because he had already been moved that long before decided to do a big wiggle as he came past the tank top all have recovered nicely with some marks still remaining where scales got taken out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 nick the tank is outside and i am using naural sunlight for lighting i am hoping that being outside may correct their dropeye feeding live food from the top first then some dead stuff only time will tell could always put a cage of finches on top to make something to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 where the big boys and girls play That is SUCH an awesome photo. Is 'drop eye' a real condition? If so, that is very interesting...does it correct quickly with the right conditions? Oh, I hear that giant gourami are extremely popular for eating (in Asia), very few bones and delicate flesh... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 very good jennifer gourami goulash comes to mind drop eye is a problem prevalent in tank kept silver aros and there are many theories behind the causes i personally feel that in a tank they spend much of their time looking down for food and other fish even aros fed on floating food have developed it though so will be interesting to see what happens over the next few months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted December 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 just had cricketman in and he was blown away by the colours in the fish under natural sunlight the silver aros are showing a lot of red especially the males the jar has always been a darker colour david, just think under the flouros it paleed him up a bit probably got darker with age, or i just see it every day so haven't noticed it it gets a lot of comments from the bigger fish fish keepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
