My water babies (photos)
Since I post so many threads usually with a lot of photos (sorry) I'll make this my fish photo only thread. I still need to figure out how to delete old threads so I can rid the forum of my massive amounts of photos. Lol.

He's a bully

Not enough photos get posted on the forums. I don't think there's any way for users to delete their threads but you shouldn't anyway.
Hard to say at that age with the yoyos. If one is noticeably more plump then that's a good sign it's a female.

I will. I started off slow right now, so I don't throw off the levels too bad.

Pretty much finished decorating the tank and giving everyone a place to hide.

10-29-10 UPDATE :)
I bought 2 20 longs and a stand from a friend. One I have set up will be a hopefully heavily planted tank. Only inhabitants at the moment are Simon my CT Betta and 2 Zebra Nerites. I will be adding some Cory's and MTS' in the future. It looks pretty lame right now. But I think it has potential.

Oh, I envy your snails. I love snails, and my water is too acidic.
Keep an eye on your bichir. Anything that fits in its mouth will be lunch. I moved mine to eat shrimp pellets and cocktail shrimp (I can't feed live and it is a great way to introduce ick and other parasites to the tank), but I know mine ate quite a few danios before I found out she's a fish eater. I know friends have lost 3" Cories to bichirs. Not too many fish try to swallow Cories. My bichir is a totally mellow, and I have to make sure other fish don't pick on her.

I love these snails already. I want a tank full of them. I think thats what I'm going to do with my 20 longs. They are perfect.starsplitter7 wrote:Oh, I envy your snails. I love snails, and my water is too acidic.

My bichir is still on the small side @ only 4". I got 3 Giant Danios as dither/target fish. My rams died and my severum will not come out for anything but food now. But tonight she came out and was all over the tank. The bichir rarely comes out right now.

The bichir is a night time ambush predator. You'll start seeing your other fish with missing parts. At least that's what happened with my danios. The bichir is still one of my favorite fish. I love her. She is so nice. She is usually hidden during the day. Often she'll swim like crazy before a storm.
I am very sorry to hear you lost your rams. That is terrible. Have you done a check of your water -- maybe you lost your cycle? If your fish aren't coming out, they may not feel well.
Last niight I figured out my 29 had both of the filters off. The one filter has been off for days -- it was hot and dry. The second had a clogged intake. I am glad I didn't lose any fish.

I check my levels regularly and they've been normal and good. I keep my WC's up and all that jazz. So I'm gonna wait and see how the severum does. I think I might give her back to my friend once she gets a bigger tank. I just don't think she's feelin it anymore in mine. Even tho since I added the danios she's been coming out little by little.starsplitter7 wrote:The bichir is a night time ambush predator. You'll start seeing your other fish with missing parts.
