By the looks of things he is hopping they will breed in his caves and then he can make millions of dollers selling the babys to LFS's.

ingo the glasses are both,in the town where i live about 80% of the people work in heavy industry so if you arent wearing orange and PPE you dont fit in.

yep the BN will hopefully get it on and i can give some to the lfs , my last batch of eggs hatched and were going fine until we got a very hot day and killed them all.

Have you been drinking while doing this job?

That would make it even more amazing than it already is. How did you manage to wiggle this huge thing into the tank when there is the cross bar on top? That must have been a really tight fit .

In any way, I think it looks nice. Do you have a vision of blending it in more with the scape, like adding moss to the wall or something?

And what was that electric yellow trying to do during the setup - suicide by air breathing? Where was the school of fishies during that time?

Nice job, you sure know how to do it

I was wondering what was going on with the fish too! It looks pretty nice in your tank and it seems your fish alreay dig it! I like the idea of addint moss to it but I am not sure how one would go about such a thing unless doing it before adding it to the tank. Maybe you can crame some chunks of moss and fern in the cracks? Just an idea. Oh and it looks much much better with the black back.

the electric yellow that beached himself is doing fine,as are all the other fish, i could say that i measured the new background perfectly to ensure a snug fit, but the only measurement i took was for length. also i am a bit surprised by the difference in colour from the substrate as they are the same sand gravel mix.

eventually plants will cover most of the front, im a bit disapointed in how much the grey stands out , i may take it out and paint it one day

wings which black back were you talking about?

It would look much deeper and it would not jump out at you as much as big white circles do.

well its a sad day today, it got cold enough to put heaters in my tanks, ugly things they are. with all the cyclones around lately the temp has dropped from about 35 deg to 25 deg each day and it even rained where i live for 3 days, so when i checked temps this morning the tanks were down to 22-23 deg so time for some new heaters

Dan,

I guess you have been through these temperature changes before, right? I would assume that the fishies will be fine, so far, as the changes are very gradual and 22 is still not dangerously low.

Yeah, bad weather can really be depressing. We, up here, are just getting started to awake from our winter sleep, I can't wait until it gets warmer.

with all the cyclones around lately


It is really fun how we all have different words for the same thing. Lucky for my one of my classes talked about how down under giant spinning tropical storms are known as cyclones not hurricains.

Must be nice to not need heaters most of the time!

Dan,
Looks like your tank is growing it really well. I like how you have just a few different types of plants and a nice mix of colors. Might be nice to sneek in some hard scape though before the plants over take all the space.

Dan,

Nice pictures as always!

My convicts have fry right now in my 55G. They are very interesting to watch. This time around it seems as if the partenting is being split between the mom and the dad. Each has a batch of young with them at either end of the tank.

Thanks for the fish list!
