Just finished this over the weekend and wanted to practice my fish photography.
Well, I picked up a used 29 gallon setup on Craigslist. Came with an iron stand, hood, light, and filter. Got it all for $40, so not too shabby I guess. I moved all of the rocks/slate to this tank to create a nice cave like theme for my cats. You never see them til lights out with a dim light, but I'm sure they're loving the environment! I'm using some white play sand from Menards as the substrate so the Banjo Cats can burrow much easier and harm free. In addition I moved the majority of my Amazon swords over to this tank since it's tad bit taller than the 40 breeder. So in the 29 gallon I have:
2 leopard ctenopoma
2 spotted raph cats
2 banjo cats
1 juvenile black bullhead (I know, eventually I'll have to use it as an excuse to get my monster tank :twisted: )
Since I took all of the rocks/slate out of the 40 breeder, I did a cleanup of the aquascape in there. Got new substrate (Red Flint pool filter sand), and finally got around to pruning the plants in there. I'm going for the very planted/driftwood look for this tank. Still haven't decided on what low level foreground plant to cover up the entire bottom with yet, thinking of baby dwarf tears. We'll see how it'll develop later down the road. So in this tank I have:
2 black angelfish
1 bgk (the 2nd excuse for a monster tank later down the road)
1 royal pleco (and the 3rd excuse for the monster tank later down the road)
1 clown pleco
1 bushynose pleco
And for the heck of it, here's my little 5.5 gallon for the 3 tatia perugiae (driftwood cat) I got from a local breeder. Gorgeous little buggers, must have if you're into cats, but hard to come by. Can't wait for them to be big enough to play around in one of the bigger tanks.
