SamH Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I think the 2nd and 7th photo are his own works, indeed they are a rock collection but other than that, break all the other rules of iwagumi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godly3vil Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah I agree Sam, pics 2 & 7 are the only ones I believe are his, I'm pretty sure even I could do better and I have no artistic skill what so ever lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Nope, it's a George Farmer. But I think he's posting them to show people what he can do :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Just bought some hi fin WCMM off TradeMe, hopefully picking them up this weekend :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 So here they are, 20 of them for $40 off TradeMe with two more thrown in for free :thup: These guys were bred alongside goldfish in a large outdoor pond, they seem to be enjoying themselves in this tank though. And this little guy I'm tempted to call "Leela" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Wow they are stunning !drool: Some of the nicest minnows I've seen for sure :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I knew minnows would be a good choice. Are those the fish from Franklin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks Joe, they're like mini rainbow trout in person and the large school looks fantastic. They are perfect for this tank, another 300mm on the end would be nice though. Technically Papakura but right on the boundary, do you know the man?

SamH Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 And we already have a jumper! Luckily I popped it back in and all seems to be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Try and keep the water cold for them Sam, as coming from outside they wont handle the heat inside a house as well. Perhaps freeze some water in snap lock bags and chuck one in each morning and evening for the first week so they have time to adjust.

SamH Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 The ponds won't have been too cold lately, I'll freeze some bags now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godly3vil Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Nice looking fish man, didn't think they were that colourful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 They're totally underrated fish, I'll admit I did look past them at the pet shop because they look so washed out in their tanks but their lateral stripe is an awesome iridescent rainbow colour. A large shoal is a must with these guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Technically Papakura but right on the boundary, do you know the man? no, but i like looking at his auction photos if it's the one I think it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Probably the same guy. So today I've noticed some interesting behaviour. A fatter fish was wiggling in some moss with a thinner one close behind, spawning perhaps? But most noticeably two males(?) dancing with each other and zipping around the tank. They're very fast so the quality of my photos is average at best. Any WCMM experts able to confirm this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Could be both, showing off to each other or spawning, but probably spawning. After a while you will know which are the females as they are duller in colour and will get fatter than the males. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomGilberg Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 :cophot: and nice fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Thanks Tom. Sophia, do the two fish in the images appear to be a male and a female to you? One is paler and fatter, the other is slim and colourful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 imo 2 x males, one will be paler since he's losing the display-a-thon girls will be attracted to the fin extension but girls tend to not join in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I seriously want this tank. Stocked with Tinwini danios... !drool: Neeeed rocks like thaaat.... they go so well with the substrate too..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
