My Managerie of Tanks

Great looking pics as usual

Rearranged the hardscape in the 135g for the first time since it's been set up

There he is! The man, the fish, the legend! (Pretty obvious by now, but he's a favourite of mine out of all your fish) Also nice rescape.

June 10th I had a lot of brochis splendens born. Got a huge batch of them.

Wow, they barely have any adult colours at a young age. It will be interesting to see how they develop into the emerald colour

Neowise is awesome, he's a whole 5 years old now too

As for the brochis, I've made a growth chart for previous batches, it does take them quite awhile to get the emerald color. These will likely be big enough to sell before they get their emerald color. There's already a hold on 12 of them lol there's probably like 60+ fry this round.

I need to get a couple more totes to spread them apart because there are some many lol

While here, a video of the microglanis cats. 2 females and 2 males in the group and the females are rotund. Very rotund. Big mouths on these little catfish. Eat entire pleco bug bites sticks in one bite

We have quite a few babies, all growing strong lol

Someone local was rehoming a goldfish, and we had room for a 3rd, so we reached out. Meet Oreo! A black Moore, at this point I am leaning towards her being a lady, due to thinner pectoral spines and lack of "breeding stars" on the gill plates, but could be proven wrong should those still be yet to develop.

Aww she's so sweet!

Glad you took 'her' in. I'm sure her quality of life just improved immensely. She's a lucky fish. From what you describe she does sound like a she. What about vent shape--innie or outie? The latter would confirm gender.

Didn't get an opportunity to check the vent, totally slipped my mind lol

Did just check through some photos and it looks to be an outie



That said, she did have a good home prior! She was being rehomed because her previous owners were moving and didn't want to have to move her and her large tank multiple times.

Some updates, I know its been quite awhile. Been just keeping above the water with real life stuff keeping me occupied.

Some changes on some tanks, a couple not photo'd here because they're lacking in some plants and I am not too thrilled with how they currently look so I am waiting to get new stuff this year to fix them up.

20g Asian community

55g Paraguay setup, some changes to it. Added in some aphyocharax rathbuni. Lost my male apistogramma borelli (female killed him)

Aphyocharax rathbuni, I am loving these weirdos

buce bowl, about 3 gallons. Moved from my 10g since my last betta boy passed away. Gonna consider caridina shrimp for this setup later on.

135g goldfish tank. Added more crypts to it. Shall soon have a 3rd goldfish added because I got babies

The monsters created. Not quite fancy, not quite common. They're an abomination. There are 5 of them. 4 shall be rehomed and I shall keep one.

I also have a new setup, but that will get its own thread

 

[MattW]

Great to see all your tanks thriving, especially the 135g with Neowise and Oero! And the little gold nuggets as well

my ram is ancient, he is now in his 5th year

Ive put anubias back into this tank because it just doesn't want to accept plants, and it had done well for anubias before, right?

Not even 2 weeks later. The anubias were pulled from my 135g where they had been doing fine in there for years now and then were also fine in the tank they were in years before!

This tank is cursed for plants and I am at the end of the rope with my patience with it.

I was bad at the lfs again. Oops.
She won me over with her big yellow eyes, following my finger at the glass and just staring at me with that adorable face. She was the only survivor out of her batch, I was only supposed to get food, but here we are. I did ask the lfs to let me know when/if they get any males in.

Nannacara anomala.

Im usually wary of the cichlids, because they all come with some level of sass, but nannacara are said to be among the most peaceful, so I feel like she should not be any worse than my elderly Bolivian ram or my spicy apistogramma borelli lady.

 

[CassCats]

Just a short mini video of her. She's so cute

Ill have to move the cories to another tank if she decides she won't play nice. So far she has been fine, but never know with some of these.

 

[CassCats]

I ended up getting a male companion for the new cichlid lady. The store ordered more in so I could get a male and hes a cutie. Time will tell if they pair up, they got along at first but last couple days theres been some chasing from the female.

Thus far, they don't bother their tankmates, including the cories.

She is a terror to the snails, though. Is obsessed with attacking them every opportunity she has. Who knew that they'd be the solution for the trumpet snails

On my last trip to Toronto this past May, a friend of mine gave me some more Taiwan lilies and they're actually doing well in the tank thats been hating plants

This ram is over 5 years old and still going despite seeing better days. Don't think he sees much these days but doesn't stop him

Crystal black shrimp doing well still

And a rathbuni tetra because I like them
