Hey Everyone, I havn't been around for quite some time. Been quite a busy year for me. I moved to the Auckland from Warkworth a year ago, but wasn't able to take my tank with me. Thankfully my brother fed my fish, and I occasionally checked up on it.

So basically the tank has been neglected for a year, but now i have moved into a place together with my partner and was finally able to migrate my fish to Auckland :thup:

It took me a day, but i managed to do it with only one hiccup... filling the tank with hot water from the tap. I had the garden hose plumbed into the taps in the laundry. Seems the taps are on the wrong way! Which also explains why my washing used to come out of the machine hot! Anyway...

Here's a few photos of my former Moss factory.

Now I just need to wait and be patient and let the plants settle and grow. Hopefully they dont all die off!

Look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Cheers,

Nick

Nice to see someone else with Parkinsonii that are well coloured. I was beginning to think I was the only one with adults.

Hi Adrienne, I picked that one up from Ronnie yesterday along with 2 nigrans rainbows. I wouldn't mind finding a second parkinson's to make a couple. This one definitely has plenty of colour.

im curious, did your brother do water changes , filter maintenance while in his care.

I cleaned the filter twice maybe. And possibly 3 50% waterchanges.

:nfs:

I have five from the first lot in to the country - all the ones that have come in have been males. They are flourescent orange and around the 9cm mark. Mine fight constantly with one now having a permanently damaged pop eye. They are not the only rainbows I have so the tank is pretty active.

I am thinking of selling up all my tropicals and tanks etc so if I do I will give you a yell.

Oh sorry to hear that you are thinking of doing that. But yes if and when that time comes, I would be very interested in seeing what you have available. Really love the rainbows. Thanks!
