Fruju Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Hey everyone! Share your FTS (full tank shot), let's see what NZ'rs are keeping. I'll start. My tank is a 450L home to 3 species of polypterus, 1 convict cichlid, 1 red oscar, and 1 Cuban cichlid. Tank will eventually be a dedicated setup to a breeding pair of Cuban cichlids once I grow a suitable male to maturity. I recently re-scaped it by removing a large piece of wood, adding the twiggy bits and getting a greater size range of stones to make it more naturalistic. Keen to see other people's stuff! firenzenz, Silverdollarboy2, TbarTerror and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hovmoller Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Ok here's my Chocolate Zebra Hotel. 100L tank, 7 fish in there, all hiding. Can you spot 5 of them in the dark photo? livingart, firenzenz, David R and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 My very simple 4ft Barb, rainbow tank. Substrate is washed sandpit sand, and plants just one type of Hygrophila and then Java moss. Plenty of filtration so have to admit not much maintenance, recently took out a bucket of moss which had taken over, but had let my cherry barbs hide a couple dozen 'youngins' Fish are a selection Barbs, Rainbows of dubious origins, a couple of confused bolivian ram and 3X L200, each 20cm- refugees from a friends tank that save on glass cleaning.

Silverdollarboy2 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Very nice, what lighting do you have on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 Cheers. Used to have LED lights on this tank but gave away while in storage which sort of miss now I gave myself a $300 budget for fish, plants, substrate and lighting to get tank up and running So I just dusted off a couple of 4ft fluros and luckily old lid was still working. Think one is warm and one is cool white. Room is fairly light so plants ok for light Silverdollarboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted August 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 @hovmoller very cool reflective eyes! Nice selection of fishes there @firenzenz, odessa barbs look really nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted August 19, 2017 Report Share Posted August 19, 2017 Currently a couple of goldfish until my heaters arrive. Then it's going to house American cichlids. Fruju, Silverdollarboy2, firenzenz and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted August 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 @kiwiraka have you decided what species you will keep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted August 20, 2017 Report Share Posted August 20, 2017 I've got a GT and two oscars in a 400 litre which will be going in soon. I'm hoping both the Oscars are the same gender. I'm still not sure what else I'll be putting in there. I want to end up with five cichlids to spread the aggression. I'm open to suggestions Silverdollarboy2 and Fruju 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to me that they are: Melanotaenia boesemani - Boeseman's rainbowfish Melanotaenia lacustris - Lake Kutubu rainbowfish Glossolepis incisus - Red Rainbowfish Melanotaenia parva - Lake Kuromai rainbowfish I am not sure, image is not sharp enough, but looks liike Melanotaenia praecox - Dwarf Neon rainbowfish too.

Silverdollarboy2 Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 @kiwiraka Still got natives? Could possibly add silver dollars with your American Cichlids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwiraka Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 @Silverdollarboy2 Still got the natives. Just galaxiids and smelt at the moment. I was looking at a school of balas or dollars but decided the stocking might be a bit much? Silverdollarboy2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
