phoenix44 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Yep, that's a steel blue; there are no more flags in this tank, and the massive GBA is like 14-15cm long :lol: I think ill get 10 more cardinals this weekend. that might take me up to 50 or so I think.

Joe Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 You're good at breeding things - why don't you have a go at breeding the Cardinals yourself? Then you can have 150 instead of just 50! Plus you'll save a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Your point is? 50 is a large number of cardinals :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymox Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Not really Well to pay for at retail price. Best school or cardinals I have ever seen was easily 1000+ looked amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 My point exactly Nymox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malevolentsparkle Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 i hear cardinals are best bred when they are young, so maybe you could breed from your new lot? I would love to get that many cardinals my aim is to get around 15, so 50 sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 nice pics Mr P, thanks for sharing. will update my thread at the weekend when I get some camera batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted November 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Not really Well to pay for at retail price. Best school or cardinals I have ever seen was easily 1000+ looked amazing. yeah yea, I'm working on that. I'd like 100+ in this tank so that's more realistic. :lol: The reason I dont focus on breeding any tetra is because im not passionate about them. i'm working on lancelota whiptails at the moment, and since they are one of my fav whips, i think i'd like that more. waayyy more.

Nymox Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 They are already looking good with how many you have although 100+ would look nice in there, thats no easy task considering the price of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Just came back from work and have done a MASSIVE change to the tank. Will update when the water clears up, which should be soon. Also will have a MASSIVE PILE of plants for sale :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malevolentsparkle Posted November 20, 2010 Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 nice, love the gravel, what kind of whiptail is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2010 Thanks, that's a lancelota whiptail female. The male is guarding eggs again. Soon the plants I have planted on the RHS will pop up and then I'll be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted November 21, 2010 Report Share Posted November 21, 2010 Wow, that looks fantastic! The whiptail is so cool! Your swordplant is beautiful! I can't wait until mine get to that stage. You'll be pleased to know that mine have recovered from whatever it was that was wrong with them, and have grown some lovely new big leaves. I think it might have been the transition to a new tank and that shocked them, because I don't have bright T5 lighting like you do. I just have a couple of T8's. All the original leaves rotted, but the new leaves look exactly the same as the original leaves did when I recieved the plants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know Joe. I was wondering why they weren't happy when you first got them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 I have recently been changing the lay out of the tank very slowly. The plants have been getting some very special food! :lol: Here are the results so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 windelov And I have been giving my tank a special fert treatment since I got the macrandra. Tank gets 15mL of comprehensive, 20mL of seachem trace, 30mL of excel + 2 DIY CO2 units with new diffusers (soon to be pressurised) The macrandra is the gem of my tank now and is growing 3-4cm per day!
