blueyes Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Crypts came today.... so Cryptomania corner is now complete.... I'll see if I can get a couple of photos tonight.... currently my 2 glowlight tetra are testing out the new facilities, so far they seem to think that the rear right corner is the best place to hang out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 my killies cycled my tank, Barrie always said not to underestimate how hardy they are since in the wild they are used to living in mud puddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyes Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Thats true, I didn't think about that lol Mind you since I want Clown killies it will probably be a while before I can afford to get them (if there are any available) since I am sill looking for a job, and it was so weird looking at a tank with no fish in it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted May 1, 2011 Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Hows your tank coming along now Blueyes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyes Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 It looks awesome, the plants have filled out really nicely..... only problem with it is that it is now filled with guppies and their fry.... oh and snails, but the plants are looking really great. What I will do once (if ever) there are some clowns available is put the guppies back in the community tank which will help control the population and then put some of the yoyo's in to clear out the snails beforehand. I'll try and remember to take some new pics tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueyes Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 Okay..... new pics. Theres the front right corner that I need to replant as the guppies decided the plant there was really really yummy......

Sophia Posted June 12, 2011 Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 how many did you get, what sex do you think they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueyes Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 Can't see much yet Josh.... but I'll try and get some pics later tonight, I've got them floating in a big container until I can figure out what to do with all the baby guppies, I was going to put them in the breeder net in the interim, but I can't find it... I'll set up my wee tank in the lounge I think and put the guppies in there...... I got 5 Sophia.... didn't intend on getting that many, but I saw them and they were so cute lol..... not sure what sex they are, I'll have a closer look once they've settled in a bit more. I'm wondering if they will be okay with just the baby guppies until I manage to catch them all, theres plenty of riccia and other plants for them to hide in. I've moved everything out that would be big enough to fit them in their mouths, but they are such precious wee fish, I just don't want to risk anything happening lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueyes Posted June 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2011 It's gone nuts P44, that and the rotala I think it is..... the tank is like a wee jungle, except the crypt corner, which is getting over a total melt down about 3 weeks ago.... but they are all starting to grow new leaves now.... I'll need to do a bit of pruning soon I think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
