Been Redoing The Girls Tank

[ibbledibble]

I think i saw a male! haha jk. VERY impressive sorority tank! Where'd you get teh background?

thats soooo not funny! the number of times i have put females in there and then had to fish them out because they were actually male!!!

the background came from DP Fishways. my excellent not so local LFS along with the vast majority of my fish!

That's a great tank - I suppose my envy level would be spilling over if I'd been able to view the individual pics of the girls or any of those beyond the first bunch, and I shouldn't be so disappointed not to be able to see them...
I think that about covers it.

edit - thought it was OK if my brain didn't work as long as the 'puter did - but just checked back and got a few more of the pics- WOW!!!
Guess maybe I'll get more when the 'puter feels better.
I can handle the envy...
And finally... I got to see them all. Holy Cow, are they (and the tank!) absolute beauty.
Great, after all the years of working nights, I'm awake at night, and the puter wakes up in the morning...

thanks i'm pretty pleased with it, and definitely feel i have built up a nice selection of girls along the way. i have another girl (copper CT) in a quarantine tank as she has a lump under her chin (i think it might be a tumor ) and have 3 males in a divided tank who were all bought as females too! (with another 2 males who i always knew were males)

Syphoniera, sorry you're not getting all the pics. thats the problem with having so many, sometimes it can take a while to load them up. maybe try viewing the page and then go make a cup of tea or something. maybe a bit of extra time will let it load all the pictures correctly?? and if you cant get them up, then i'm sorry for teasing.

Tried waiting, puter's been weird, sleepy maybe.?
Was just getting red x's, on other things too.
But, kept checking back, and well worth the wait; popped right up the last time.
If I ever grow up, I want to be you! Or at least have betta girls as nice as yours.

They are awesome. I didn't think they were fire eels or tirerack eels, but was unsure. Was about to caution you that those would be bad tankmates if they in fact were . Obviously I know nothing about IDing them though

I love bristlenose plecs. I would have one if the LFS had some that were big enough to take abuse from my Oscar. He is a feisty little guy and has already harassed the living hell outta my 6" Sailfin Plec

yeah there's no way he could live with our oscars! even fully grown he's far too small. we have a common plec who is about 12" and a rusty plec about 6" in with the oscars, plus the silver dollars, and a rescued clown loach, who outgrew the tank he was in at a friends house.

Thx for postin up all those pics.

sorry there are so many of them! i got a bit carried away.

are you still planning on making a sig for me at some point? if not, don't worry, i understand that real life comes first but just realised i never gave you any pics to work with.

oh man... that is a burried topic somewhere ( lets keep it that way ). I got in one of my 'moods' and thought i was going to start doing digital artwork again.

If you send some pics my way, i'll see what i can do.
