Some new Pix

[Gill]

Here are some new Pix, But mainly I wanted to show off my Rocks.
The Large rock in the Middle of the tank came from the rockery surrounding my Pond. It has at least 6 colors in it. Red, Orange, White, Green, Grey, Blue and Copper.

The Arrow is growing Nicley and I have Not has Any Casulaties from it apart from the Neons/WMCM he gets. Mainly He eats The Cichlid Pellets I put in and Moths and "Daddy Long Legs"(dont know what the Equivalent is in the States). He Loves Following the Turkey Baster around the Tank and Jumping for Bloodworm and will happily wait under neath aswell and grab them from the End. I am Now torn whether to Give Him up or Save for another Tank. I have Room in the Veranda and all the Outlets are Free and it would Look Really Nice there. I may see about getting A custome Tank Made as there is a company near me who makes Tanks.


Here are some Pix then.


Excuse the Green Water, Needs a Water Change Tonight.

My Parrot, I have Called her Pretty In Pink

Whenever Pretty goes to the front of the tank, My Gold Gourami follows her, She gets very jealous if pretty gets to much of the camera

A Main Shot Showing the Sharks. They have become more adventorous and explore the Whole tank. They Like Nibbling on the Water hyacinth, Which all the Fish love Eating. The Julli/Schwartzi will stay at the surface and nibble at the roots. The other Corys dont do that.

Them striped lookin things are the sharks?
they are wikid! what are they called?

Those are High fin banded sharks, Myxocyprinus asiaticus. They are not tropical fish and should really be kept outside in ponds though the pond will need heating over the coldest winter months. They grow to around 40 inches in length and become intolerent and aggressive toward tankmates as they grow.

How big is your tank?

There are more pix of the sharks in Members. just search for my name.

Yes CFC they are Cold Water Fish but they are also Temperate Water Fish Which Means they can Live in Both Temperature Ranges.

Yes they will Grow to Over 40 Inches but this willl take over 15 years.
An Interesting Fact I Found Out that is not in the Books, As they are very Rare Around here.
When the LFS I got them from Last had these Over 2 years. 1 Customer has told him that They are In a 4 Foot tank. He ha had them for 2 years now. And they have started to develop the coloration of a Clown Loach. There Semi Adult Coloration, They are 6 Inches in Length. I will not have to worry about transfering them for over 10 years.

I Researched these Lovely Fish b4 Purchasing them and spoke to ther Hobbyists who have them.

Lasawyer, the Tank is a 3by2 - But I want to have a 5-8 ft in the Veranda. Once all the University Moving has Finished and the Room is Empty Again. That will be My Next Project. But I also have a Fishroom Ready for whenever I Need It.

The Smaller Garage is just for Storage and can easily Be converted into a fish room. Which is where I will have My Betta Storage Area. So Space will not be an Issue in the Future. If Need be Pretty In Pink Ca have her Own Tank with Other Parrots.
