^no,

I want the male to be able to choose, and once he does, then u can have her.

I am so happy right now, I just sold my 10 dwarf neon rainbows(praecox) for $15 plus 4 anubias nana and each rhizome had over 12 leaves. I will post pics of it when I have some time. I am going to the LFS on thurs, cuz that is when they get their plants shipment.

I am getting Co2 this month.

But, I am still happy

update:

I am thinking of changing part of my stocking plan(not major). I want to take out the angels as I am breeding them, so I only want to keep the breeding pair in my garage on my new rack I am making. I will have either 3 55Gs or 6 20Gs or mix and match soon.

So this is what I want to try.......................

If I take out the angels, could I add one more pair of rams(german golds)?

then there would be this in the tank....................

1 emerald cory
4 albino long fin corys
1 clown pleco
1 ABN pleco
2 SAEs
4 yoyo loaches
1 pair gold rams
1 pair GBRs
1 pair GGRs
14 harlequins
1 upside down catfish

and that is it. Would that be okay???

 

[TabisFish]

Yeah that sounds good. If they're actually paired. Um.. how many square feet does your tank have in the foot print

 

[TheFishBoss97]

Well since it is bow front, the average depth is 14" or 15". and the height if 22". And the length is 49" so it is about 5 square feet, but there is a lot of height and swimming space. But, first I need to sell the angels.

*the most depth it has is 18".

Update: 6/27/11

I will take some pics by tomorrow, maybe today.

I am thinking of really changing the stocking up now, as I have a breeding pair of angels. I am planning on taking out all angels and putting in around 6 baby discus. Do you think that will be okay. I might even take out the harlequins and put in 4 white platinum angels so I can have both discus and angels. What do you guys think. I am willing to change all the fish since I found a guy on CL selling discus(babies) for $15 each or 5 for $60, and on aquabid with great reviews for $6 each.

PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!WARNING(PIC HEAVY)

Finally some pics!!!
Sorry for cloudy water as I just did a 50% WC which was long overdue(3 weeks), and I cleaned out my canister hoses with this awesome new brush I got, magFox. You guys can finally see my DW! I also got shots of my new PB blue platinum ghost angelfish breeding pair, my remaining RCS(the pair ate 80% of my colony), and my tiger shrimp. I did type comments, but I accidentally pressed alt s(post) instead of save, so it deleted everything, it took my 10min to comment. I got 2 new bettas that I got free from petco as they were pretty much dead, and had hardly any finnage. For some reason, I can't find my Clown Pleco He could be in 1 of the 2 9" holes inside the DW, but I am not sure. My MTS are breeding like crazy, I look in my angel breeding tank/RCS breeding tank, and I see more than 50! Sorry, all pics are out of order
















































































Please give me suggestions, I will be getting plants once I get Co2!
I am getting Co2 from GLA by the end of july.
