Thought i would share my latest incarnations of my tanks with everybody. Looking for advice and comments (good and bad!!) to help me along my way.

Tank one is my latest tank that i purchased from hackmaster from this site. It did come with a pair of Kribs but moved them on now. It's currently housing Lumpy and Bumpy, my pair of Telmatochromis Burgeoni. Not exactly a Tanganyikan setup, but it has a few rocks and hiding places for them. They have only been in about 10 hours so they're still a bit shy. There is also a male juvenille Bristlenose in there along with 5 Apple Snails. There is also 2 juvenille Jewel Cichlids in there but that's only a temporary measure. :)

Tank two is my Fluval Roma 125. This is housing my 4 Neolamprologus Brichardi, Fairy Cichlids. Also 3 Bristlenoses in here too. One is a juvenille which i am hoping is another female to go with my other female and the male. There is a Chinese Algae Eater in here also which is actually now keeping himself to himself. Rather different to when he was in with my American Cichlids. Also 2 Zebra Danio's which will either be getting rehomed or upped in numbers. (Probably the first option) Around 4 or 5 juvenille Jewel Cichlids again that are for sale so they will be gone soon hopefully. Also got 3 Apple Snails in here too.

Last but not least, My Fluval Vicenza 180. Currently housing a fully grown Ellioti, and some sub adult Jade Eyeds and a Firemouth. There is also a pair of Angels and a pair of Honduran Red Points. 3 Bronze Cory's that will be going up to 6 when funds are available. There is a couple of Pitbull Plecs, a Spotted Raphael catfish and a Striped Raphael Catfish. There is also a Gibbiceps (yes, i know!!!) and a erm... erm... Glyptoperichthys joselimaianus/L001/L022

Let me know what you think.

Cheers, David.
 
very nice tanks :D i think that number two is my favourite :p nice pleco by the way
 
Thanks. Yeah the 125 is my favourite also... i think. :rolleyes:

Brilliant tanks I actually like the first one a lot. I just think the other two need backgrounds. That's just me, I'm no expert you've seen my monstrosity of a tank lol.
 
Hi there RF, unfortunately i only have one male which i rehomed from another member from this site. She managed to get her Ellioti to breed on several occassions. I also have some fry from the last brood she managed to get so i am hoping for a female from that lot. 2 Spot can be quite aggressive, so i guess introducing a new female will be fun... :unsure: It will be quite a while yet though as they're only just approaching an inch.

And i am thinking of getting a plain black background for both tanks, I guess it would make a big difference to the whole look as they have never had one.

:)

Yeah plain black background would be really nice and show off your fish. I just bought a new tank, it's only a 21 litre for one male betta as I love bettas. I'm going for a more classy look you'll be pleased to know. Black gravel to really show him off. No pink this time lol
 
Haha. I saw a picture of a spanking set up which had a dark red substrate and I was totally in ore of it... definitely got me thinking!
 
I want your Ellioti, swap for my EBJD?

Lol, nooooooooooooooooooo. But i still want your Ellioti!

:lol:
