Caryl Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 ...After I stripped their tank down this afternoon! They have never had it so bright 8) The plants had got so overgrown there was not much swimming space. Root systems were tangling everywhere and the rotala and some other plants had taken over. Here it is before I started... It was a good opportunity to find out what I had in there as it was hard to see many fish at once. I knew I had a few bristlenose fry. I found 16 I had one more golden barb than I started with and these have now gone out to the paddling pool The odessas had had more fry than I thought too and numbered 16. The big ones went into the other paddling pool Missing were 2 hengelis (one was found in the fliter) and 3 rummy noses. Total overall was 66 fish. Since a number are being housed elsewhere for a while, there are currently 28 fish back in the tank (I think) :roll: Anyone want BN fry? Common brown variety.

Stella Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Wow, and it still looks fairly thickly planted in the 'after' shot! Indeed it looks like a very nice tank I just lose my fish in piles of rocks... :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I have lots of plants left over. One of our club members is about to set up their 6ft tank again so they need all the plant they can get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
