critter_crazy Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I lived pretty much next door to there up till a week ago. All my fish I got from him have been really sick (with white spot and something else unknown) and died so I'm scared of getting anything else There's always rotting fish in the tanks too :tears: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critter_crazy Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've never had any trouble there, I just spend awhile checking that there's absoloutly nothing dodgy in the tank :slfg: went this morning though and the guy was releasing a big bag of female guppies & green water into the tank :sick: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Go into the goldfish pagoda and ask him to get in contact with you if he ends up with any. I've seen quite a few in his store they come from my strain aswell, dam i need to find some new strains :facepalm: So I'm still really new to this, I got my first tank 4 months ago (a 24L aqua one) and have since aquired two new tanks (a 2ft and a 34L).

critter_crazy Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I've got silca sand on it's way, I hate the blue - it came with my small tank and I've been saving up to change it. The temp is set to 28 but because all my tanks are in the garage at the moment the water stays at around 26-27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfishybuisness Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 oh ok good, what others do you plan on getting in this tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Thats pretty much it for this tank, I've got the other two tanks to set up aswell so I have no idea how I'm going to re-arrange everyone :dunno: The fighter can't be with the male guppies and neither can the female guppies when I get them as I don't want them breeding randomly. I was thinking male guppies, cories and bristlenose in the 2ft, female guppies, platies and betta in the 34L and bubbas in the 24L?? I really have no idea :nilly: anyone with a better plan??

myfishybuisness Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 i would sell the other 34l its to small for a good breeding program, then get another 2ft, and dont cross the albino guppies with other normal guppies it screws up the whole line , (just a note) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Definately wont be crossing the albinos with others which is why I need to keep males and females seperate. I plan on getting another 2ft for breeding as soon as I can track one down at a good price I got this one brand new at HFF for $42 so I'm hoping to get out there soon and get another one.

SamH Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Oh no good! If I was coming over your way soon I'd drop off some Water Sprite, it'll grow like a hundred times faster than the plants in there now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GZ_Loach Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I'd recommend building a custom tank say 2m long, 90cm wide and 60 high :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was coming over your way soon I'd drop off some Water Sprite, it'll grow like a hundred times faster than the plants in there now I got some watersprite from SamH and I can agree that they grow super fast.

critter_crazy Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Okay here's my two newest tanks, both are very basic but I'm still playing around. Plus I now have a little live plant (and I havnt killed it yet!!) Sorry for the awful pictures! Kitchen tank: I'm not overly happy with the layout - plan on getting plants for the back, but I love the gravel Bedroom tank: I wanted something very basic and low maintenance. Came up with this zen look - very happy with it. My first go with sand! :happy1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Is the tank half empty for a reason, or was it just coincidence? Because you can fill it all the way up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
