Meet The Family :)

[Wills]

Hi thought I would share some pics of my lot

This is the tank - Java fern is still for sale

My Aequidens Diadema (shes still scared of me so not in her best colours)

Male HRP never holds still

My new Nic Fairly confident its a female now top is taken today bottom is 2 weeks ago

One of the remaining HRP fry

My L135 - just lost my L235 after he had a fight with the filter inlet nearly lost a pictus to it this morning as well but saved him

Pictus - got these two last night and doing pretty good so far bar the fight with the filter intake but he is so active I couldnt get a picture of his eye - its just a bit blood shot but added melafix so hoping it will heal up nice. Still to fast to get a proper pic of them

And my shock resident my new Sev no no I jest this is my old red spot that I used to have in my old 90 before I had to get rid of it

And my old featherfin - quite tempted by an other of these at some point.

Hope you like

Stocking at the moment is

1 Aequidens Diadema
1 HRP (male)
1 Nic (female)
3 Annostomus Ternetzi
2 Pictus
1 L135

Not sure what else I want at the moment - besides an other pictus or 2 so any ideas would be great

The Nic is definately female

They all look lovely and for a moment then, I thought the Sev longing had gotten the better of you

 

[Wills]

I put it there for that reason

Really happy with the Nic cant believe how much she has changed and grown in 2 weeks only about half an inch but still noticeable bulking up

thats really lovely!!

gorgeous pics too, and if you were closer id love that wood/fern .. are you sure you want to sell it, looks fab in there

 

[minxfishy]

Yep Nics are pretty good growers, I found my dominant female was always the 1st to the food and certainly was the boss of the tank.

Yeah it is nice but I got some bargain Redmoore wood soaking in the bath that will fill the tank shame about the Java at the moment it looks like Im just going to chuck it.

Really pleased with my "collection" at the moment, do you guys think I could consider a 4th cichlid or do you reckon those 3 are my tops?

I would add a school of what I don't know but a nice school would add some fun to the upper area of the tank. I was looking At Pictus when I get a larger tank i will get 3 or them.

very nice looking tank, a nice shoal of Hyphessobrycon colombianus would look

 

[Wills]

Yeah I think a school is probs the next thing for me. At the minute its between Columbian, Coffee Bean or Bleeding Heart Tetra. I was tempted by rainbows but want to keep it more SA/CA main requirement is to be large enough not to be hoovered up by my acara lols.

 

[GShorty1981]

I recommend Either Colombians or Bentosis..very nice Tetras and get pretty big. (for a tetra)

 

[england]

yes colombian,i love the look of these or beans are also
