You inspired me to copy you.

Stopped and bought 9 rummynose yesterday, have to admit I really like the way they school up and patrol out in the open!

Still trying to figure out a bottom dweller or two for the 180g, still thinking some of the tamer cichlids. May see if I can find some badis badis, those can be tough to feed though...

Rummies are some of my favorites. I'm really looking forward to getting some into my own tank. I love how big yours are, you must have had them a long time now.

Neilan, that tank is incredible!

Sahabo · 05-12-2008, 02:49 PM

Wow.

Thanks everyone. Great smiley Heidi ... lol

Yeah, the rummies are awesome. I only have 5, and since I moved them to the 125 one of them has lost an eye. not sure how that happened. Those I've had now for probably close to 18 months, so yeah, they're pretty much full sized.

Dave, where'd you get yours? I'd like another 10 or so, but they're not easy to find around here and the quality when I do find them is... shall we say... lacking. I bought a dozen, lost 8, bought a dozen more from the same source, and now have those 5 remaining, so you see my issues with what I'm able to get here locally.

I'll see if I can get some closer photos of them, but like Dave said, they love to swim laps in the tank, and they're quick!

Here's some fishy shots. I know, "clean the glass, sheesh". I tell myself that all the time.

Peppered Cory:

Male Boesmani Rainbowfish:

Furcata Rainbowfish (See the one flaring? awesome!) & Praecox:

Sorry, I get a little click-happy with the camera sometimes. You're lucky I'm limited to 8 photos per post by the forum, else you might be in serious trouble here. lol

I just picked up some endlers from neilan and got to see the tank in person and the pictures just dont do it justice. it's an awesome tank inside and out.

i know where it's located so who wants to help me move it.

Ha, sounds like a plan FishEggs.

Neil, on a completely seperate and unrelated note: Are you going out of town anytime soon? Need anybody to help watch your fish?

And Neil that's the first time I've ever heard anyone apologize for posting so many pics. Seriously we love them, don't worry about it and keep em comin.

We are in the planning phase for summer vacation(s). I have 3 weeks of vacation that if I don't use this year, I lose completely. What are your fees for tank babysitting? I'll look into taking out a seperate insurance policy on my tanks, cuz I get the feeling you and fisheggs are scheming against me.
