My Kubotai loachetank (video)

Post by aquarioten.nl » Sun Jun 18, 2006 8:48 am

with the botia kubotai en my frenatus. It's a windows media file so most of you can play it.

the ground looks white (the sand) but that's my webcam screwing things up.

Don't pay attention to the sound i will repack it without soon so the file is smaller. It's about 4mb now.

It's the left part of my thank.

I think everyone's busy today Mark. It's been very quiet. Great video....yes, you need to lose the sound :)

Nice kubotai, but that Epalzeorhynchus frenatus is a really beautiful specimen.

the frenatus is a rescued fish by the way. my father-in-law re-married early this year but they lived in there new home. his old house took six month to sell. And nobody lived there. The aquarium (assumend empty) was stripped from fish (they were given away). Power cut, no heater and no filter. that fish survived 6 month with no food (just algea) no light en no filter and no heater. :shock:

it's about 2 months in my tank now....

Oh my goodness! :shock: I'm sure he's feeling much better now. I am surprised that he survived not only his ordeal in the uncared for tank but also the transition to your tank. Depending on how large the tank was that he was left in, the system had probably crashed, and the shock of being moved would have been a lot on him. What a survivor. :D

the "shark" had the luck that there were still plants growing there... and very good for plants with no light since 1 of them grew so big it stoot 2 foot tall above the water pushing the top open.

well it still does not eat dryfood though just algea. since a week or to it started eating live foods.
Have a fantastic day!

I wonder if they will eventually pick at the sharks tail. They can be quite mischievous.
