Couple Of New Additions.

[SamUK]

Payday today so i finally got my birchir.

think its a senegal but if anyone could confirm that it would be great!

and then this lovely lil fish, siamese tiger fish. not sure if its a true stf or anything (PM'ing tikarman for an ID) but he was only £16.50 so im not too fussed.

oscars not takin too kindly to either of them at the mo, nothing serious but ill keep my eye on it.

got a dwarf puffer too but hes dissapeared into his newly planted tank so ill add pics later.

thanx for looking!

OOO, I like the tiger fish, but not the birchir, they not nice IMO





Your tank should almost be fully stocked right ? What filtration is in there ?

 

[Sp3nc3r]

it is a siamese tiger fish or it can be called a Datnioid

here is a site on them

very beautiful fish you got there, hope your oscar doesnt pick on them too much

 

[spAcE mOnkEy]

Awesome tank, what filtiration do you have in there?

 

[SamUK]

thanx for the comments everyone!


tanks fully stocked now yea, im not adding anything else and will probably look to rehome a couple when my oscar and sev get growing to a decent size.


filtration will probably shock a few people lol. i use 2 internal filters rated for 80 gallons each and 1000lph flow out put each.

used one on my 80 gallon for ages and its been great then got 2 for this tank till i could afford a better external.


waters clear and i havent had a single sick fish or illness. new fish settle in quick too so they must be doing there job!


oscars jus fascinated by the birchir now. given up attacking them.

 

[demonmagus]

which internals are they?

 

[SamUK]

cant find one on ebay at the mo but its the higher model of this one.

Got some great fish in there Sam I like it I`d like to see it at feeding time.

Nice looking additions there Sam

I use two filters as well, a 100 hang-on and a 1200lph internal, originally just had a 500lph internal on it's own in there, but the rabbit chewed through the cord but kinda glad it did, coz now this particular tank is doing better than ever.

Remember Sam, each to their own

thanx everyone.


the birchirs awesome, hercules thinks so too tho so spends most of his time following him around. given up eating him finally but i think the birchir thinks its bein stalked.


the STF has been hiding from him too but hopefully hell come out soon cos hes pretty stunning too.


cant believe how cute dps are either! soooo small.

lol 2 right!

like i say it has been working fine and all my fish are happy so i dont see a need to change it.


altho having sed that i still probably will get a big external eventually.

less to lean and easier then.
