You need cherries?

Q

will see what happens in the next few weeks. If i manage to get a 2.5-5g tank then why not attempt to keep them again.
Its either trying to raise a few cherries or raising dwarf crays (only got one male lol)

Hooray for updates! That's a lot of Anubias.

Looks great! We should make a trade, I'll do your canopy & you come do my aquascapes! I love how the rams are face to face directly front and center of the tank in the full tank shot.
This tank is going to explode when you get the CO2 running!

What is the plant from Inka4040?

I have never gotten a flower on my Anubias nana! :silly: How long would you say it took for you to get a flower?

lol lets go!! just make sure my canopy fits the tank right away and wont need any adjustments later on :silly:
The rams are sweet, when i just introduced the female the male used to pick on her slightly and they used to lip lock all the time but now they work as a group. One follows the other one all the time. Now i just wish for them to spawn and that will be swell.

I was supposed to get the regulator for the co2 last friday/saturday. Well today is monday and still no reg. Really hope it comes tomorrow. 2 bad i will be in school and wont be able to set it up till evening.

The plant that Inka4040 gave me is called Crinum calamistratum. Its a very beautiful plant and is VERY long. Im still wondering how i will use it when i rearange the tank.

About the anubias. Last time i had a flower from this one was about 2-3 months back. Im surprised this one is sending out another one. I would love for my other bunch of anubias to give some flowers but guess they need more time to grow in.

My next upgrade which will be in a long while will be the lighting. Where did you get your GE bulb??

You WILL get your CO2 running!

I have had my anubias since January but it went through some rough times at the advice of my LFS. It is very happy now so hopfully I will get a flower within a couple months.

I got my GE 9325k bulb at DFS. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=15381
If I decide not to use it (elsewhere) I would be willing to sell it to you for cheaper. I might use it on my new 29g though.

 

[Bk718]

wow $30 for it? I saw them on this other site for $14 or was it $17.. Just thought you had a closer source.. hmm would be interesting to see if dr foster will price match with this other site.. I have to order some prime and some flourish soon.

Im still curious on what causes the anubias to flower. Seems so random.

 

[myswtsins]

Yeah it is like $14-15 on other sites but they don't say that it is a GE bulb :huh:. I was in a rush to add that to my order after I had ordered and never even looked at the price, I wonder if they would price match?
