phoenix44 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Nick's been smoking that's a little too strong for him :lol: They are swordtails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3xtcy Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 hahaha thanks, was going to abuse the pet store any ideas on the rest of them ? particularly the plec? - im trying to make a list so i know what they are and so i can use the online calculator thing, i know my tanks massively overstocked, but i have two, so it should balance out when i get it all sorted out, also gotta work out what "filter system" a AR620T has, as i cant just select that from the drop down box soooooo.... If anyone can give me the full correct names for each type that would be AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 its a red spot pleco. your tank will be overstocked with that in the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 The first angel is a veil tailed black lace with a single black gene and silver gene or genes as well as a deformed dorsal fin which will will usually come through if bred. Probably male. The second is a normal finned with a single marble gene and one or two gold genes. Probably male also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3xtcy Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 lol thanks, yes both angels are males, and i have two of these plec's, they are approx 6 or so cm long each, but super hard to accurately measure. In the tank i have : 2 male angels, 2 plecs, 5 tiger barbs 2 male swordtails 3 female swordtails 4 male odessa barbs 2 female odessa barbs 1 albino rainbow shark 1 rainbow shark 1 glasscat (badly in need of some friends) lol slightly overstocked.... BUT there is another tank, approx 150L with 5 of those "melon barbs" in there, just testing the water :-? - will be more balanced when im sure the water is ok. AND soon to be a AR850 :bounce: my partner is going to kill me 8) 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 as a comparison .. here are my platy ...slightly different body shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 how big are the swordtails? If they are less than 4 or 5cm the girls might turn into boys once their tails start growing! Have a few trick me that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 My understanding is that the Red Spot Plecs get to about 45cm but I am sure that someone on here who owns them will either confirm or deny that. If that is correct I don't know that your bigger tank will be big enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 My understanding is that the Red Spot Plecs get to about 45cm but I am sure that someone on here who owns them will either confirm or deny that. If that is correct I don't know that your bigger tank will be big enough. The bigger tank is an AR850? Yeah, the redspot will outgrow that in a year or two, easy. He'll be doing 3 point turns.

s3xtcy Posted April 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 holy crap! can anyone confirm that these ARE redspot pleco's? everyone seems pretty sure! bit worried now , the swordtails are all over 5cm except the little black one, most are prob closer to 7 or 8cm, no sign of a sword appearing on the females yet, maybe the black one will suprise me, thats a trick for young players!! thanks!!
