That's time to get another (or bigger) tank then ! 

I have 30 tanks now housed in the fish house, one of the spare bedrooms and the lounge but we still have another spare bedroom and its such a same not to use it on a daily basis

you are kidding right - 30 tanks ?!
Do you own like a shop or something ?

Not kidding..I breed plecs and Malawi's. I am aiming to get some pics up this week so keep your eyes open

Cheers everyone - Looks like Spot has made that corner of the tanks his

Breezer - What plecs are you working with at the moment?

We're soon to be building a 'shed' that will have the rest of our tanks in (along with the lawnmower and all the other garden bits - honest dear)
I intend breeding some plecs - Bristlenoses to keep the lfs sweet,
The I'm undecided, possibly some 260s, 134s or 333's and carry on trying with our 129s. once we have the 129's breeding I'll be working on Zebras

Any tips...

smithrc..The plecs I currently breed are:

brown and Albino bristlenose
L260 Queen arabesques
L10a Red Whiptails
LDA08 Claro
L052
L333 Imperial Arabesque

I am also TRYING to breed the Zebra L046 but as yet no luck

I supply several shops with BN's which basically pays for all my running cost and a little for my time

Keep us updated on how the shed thing goes and I will (I promise) get some pics of my setup ..just so you can see how not to do it.

 

[smithrc]

thats the idea with our BN's too - keep us ticking over

I'll have to talk to you about some butterflys once I'm setup

 

[andyj]

Hi Breezer, I could be interested in some BN's if you've got a few spare.....

You're set-up sounds very nice indeed.... just wish the missus would let me do something similair to you and smithrc...

Whoo, what an original name Very nice though, I'd get more plecs myself if the damn things weren't so big and messy.

You can expect a letter from our fish naming department when she gets home!
