101 ways to skin a cat! looking forward to seeing your handiwork! :)

I have used Epoxy before - it was a PITA to work with, by far more expensive plus getting your mixture ratios wrong means starting all over again! With cement you simply chip out the mistakes and fill up with fresh cement. Epoxy also looked like plastic when it cured and that was not the effect...

We have made several backgrounds for different types of pets. Here is a simple step-by-step walkthrough of a home we made for our pyxie frogs - link here Here is a photo of a tank which is nearly 4 years old and is rock solid stable... Shout if you have questions! :)

he changed from pale-blue black to yellow when he started having his way with all the females so maybe he's a mixture of all sorts! :cool: he's the most aggressive fish i have ever owned... even attacks my fingers when i do water changes! must be part piranha! :nono:

One more update... tank closing up on 4 year anniversary and still going strong! :) Currently home to 1 Kenyi, 2 Pleco's and an upside down cat...

cute frog! :) u right... Frogger may be Ms. Frogger! lol

Yes this is a current photo - taken today. I have researched "Frogger" and in the wild they take 5 years to reach full size 9". Considering Frogger has grown from an inch to 4 in 3 years I would say he's expanding exponentially! lol

2 years later and long overdue for an update!!! Sadly 2 of the pyxies died one night about a year ago - not sure what killed them but I suspect the remaining dominant male "Frogger" had a claw in it! He's getting quite big now - 4" - and he draws blood when he bites so it's very difficult to...

Almost 3 years since the last post I thought an update photo might be well past due! lol My male Kenyi pretty much killed every other african cichlid tank mate over last 3 years so I got him some equally aggressive friends to keep him and Schlurpie the upside down catfish company - a pair of...

I haven't posted in ages but here are my 2 10's. 1 is a species tank with 3 breeding pairs of Kribensis and the other is a very recent rebuild for my Kuhli loaches (still need to clean up the background and shop for plants! :))

Stunning tanks! well done! :)

Changed my mind about the frogs... adopted this little beauty last weekend and having a lot of fun getting to know her! :) Meet Medusa!

I was given this awesome little statue of what I believe to be the "Goddess of Mercy." It's almost 2ft tall and I eventually convinced the wife to let me use it as the center piece for a new tank project. Shopping around the pet stores the other day I found the cutest pair of fire bellied toads...

Now that is one truely awe inspiring tank! :) Well done!

This is my kids computer... mines hidden under a pile of stuff...

It's been so long since i photographed my fishies that I've forgotten how to use my camera! lol Here's a photo of Momma Kenyi and 16 of her fry...

Time for an update... Unfortunately one of the guys hired to paint the walls stood on it and cracked the concrete in places. We patched it up, filled in a bit and gave it a coat of epoxy resin sealer which made it a bit dark and unnaturally shiny in places. The garden is now starting to fill in...
