well, SLR didn't come in:( grrrr

today, i cleaned the 350 bio-wheels on 29G and 72G, did 50s on every tank except dario darios

picked up a rhino pleco, 3 nerite snails and around 50 feeder fishies from LFS:)

made a video on my cam. of the baby angels(not babies.....lol, around 4" now, but still smaller than my breeders, so babies 4 now)..........i got a few great shots on my moms iphone 4 of the gold angel with a baby fish's tail sticking out of its mouth!:)

i love cannibalism............
jk


my mom and little bro enjoyed the show, the gold baby i mentioned earlier had 3 in its mouth at one time, what a pig...........the male breeder, big boy, took his time, started with 5, and ate them 1 by 1 sharing with his wife;)

other than that, not much


those nerite snail eggs i mentioned earlier were actually fungused angel eggs:( from when i was on vacation:( i figured it out once I noticed around 50 more besides the 20 i saw earlier, and all the same size as angel eggs, oh well, i would have put meth blue if i had been home when they laid the batch............

still having issues with video

did a lot of pruning in the 72G

looking good

here is the current stock

4 yoyo loaches
3 green emerald corys
2 clown plecos
1 pair ABNs
1 female breeder angel(adult)
5 german blue angels(mid-adult, a few months more:D)
4 female bolivian rams
1 female GBR(still alive!, i figured out she only eats frozen beefheart!)
5 harlequin rasboras
2 male bettas
1 rhino pleco(moving in 2 days:))
2 SAEs
1 upside down cat

now my question.............

anybody know if i can add a self cloning crayfish into this tank?

thanks. also moved outtake of canister filter to side so super flow
increased flow coming out by making the 3 joints for otutake into 2 therefore increasing pressure

shutting down this tank...im kinda done with it...selling everything for this tank and starting up a new clear tank(ADA maybe or GLA rimless) with ADA substrate, etc...

keeping only filtration i guess;) Hope it sells fast;) but this tank was great overall even with the few large issues i had with it(my fault) but yeah:D

you change the tanks whenever you get bored with them. maybe this isnt the right hobby for you. this might sound mean but you really need to stick to a couple of tanks and enjoy them instead of selling everything off in a couple of months.
