Re: My newly re-scaped fish tank! [Re: Blazecreation]

Congrats on the beautiful planted tank as well! I used to have a little planted tank, but it grew too well, and then I gave it too drastic of a haircut one day, and it never recovered. I used black Tahitian moon sand in my planted tank, and it looked awesome! Take good care of those little fishies :smile:

Calvus are beautiful! I've always loved them, but could only really pick them up "cheap" at fish auctions. Even still they'd be way over $40 a piece at about this size: <------------>

Everyone wants them up here.


Shell dwellers are sweet! I've never had the pleasure of keeping them, but when I worked at a pet place we had a display tank of them. Crazy little buggers.. very expensive too, a lot more than calvus and even frontosa (size wise).


There's this one frontosa for sale at the local pet place, $300, and is smaller than a bass. My "big mama" had a clutch, something scared the bejesus out of her, and she swallowed them all. They clogged her up and she died.

I was scared that the tank had gotten bloat so I had to do an autopsy. /sigh




Plants are tough with cichlids.. the neolamps and the juli's didn't bother the water sprite much at all and it fared better with very hard water and high pH than it did in its natural environment. The anubias pretty much can be adapted to any tank. I've got em all over the place. The barteri make better breeding spots for angels than swordplants, and those kinda suck IMO anyway.

They've gotta stop eating their young or I'm gonna have to meth blue them on a breeding slate w/ air wand. I hate unnatural births like that. The blue blushers get about $3 a pop at dime size around here so I think I'm gonna have to do it. At least they didn't pair off F-F or I got stuck with an infertile male.

My white calvus is a very beautiful and patient fish. When the other fish attack and get all agressive she just sits there and takes it (a luxury of armored fish like her). I thought for sure she'd die, but she just keeps plugging away, and depending on her mood, she can be all black or all white. I just love fish :smile:

I got a steal on my little shell dwellers! I got them at the crummiest local pet store that I would NEVER ever buy anything from, but the stupid guy who ran it accidentally got the little multis, and I just had  to rescue them before they died (literally!). They were priced at $35 a piece as fry, and I got them for $9 each because he didn't even know what they were! I ended up with three fish, two males and a female, and one day the bachelor got beaten to death because he did something stupid to the dominant male, and then the two mated and thus we have babies :smile: Really a great story, I know. They are vicious though, and I can't even keep fake plants or real driftwood in the tank because they'll destroy it all. Only rocks and hard resin wood for them!

Nice! What kind of little hoppy friend do you have there? Does he have any other friends in the terrarium?

I WILL have a second tank by this weekend. I keep checking the classifieds hoping to adopt a used tank, but to no avail. This is my last week, and if I can't adopt a tank by this weekend, I'm buying a brand spanking new one. Pictures will be posted later on :smile:

updated pics of my tank..im using pressurized c02 and new lighting now..just waiting for everything to grow in..

heres a full shot of my 46 gallon bowfront tank taken last night..:




I noticed my largest killi fish had a pencil fish half way in his mouth!!( the pencil fish upper body was sticking out and it was fighting to get out!..) so I quickly snapped a shot of it ( not the best shot but you can see it atleast..:



I caught the killi with my net and he released him so i kept the pencil fish in the net but he died shortly after...:



Comments welcomed!
