75 gallon Rancor community tank - Aquarium Advice

Max Action · 01-27-2005, 12:43 AM

For now only a couple crappy pics, but when friends with digital cameras come by, I'll try to take more. Pardon the horrid glare.

75 gallon tank:

7 Tiger Barbs
3 Upside-Down Catfish
3 Fundulopanchax Gardneri Killifish
3 Black Kuhli Loaches
3 Chela Laubuca (? - or Chela cachius - ? - mystery glass fish, sold as "Blue hatchets")
2 Julii Corys
2 regular Kuhli Loaches
2 White Clouds
2 German Blue Rams
1 African Butterfly (Pantodon buchholzi)
1 Schwartzi Cory
1 blind cave tetra
1 weather loach
1 albino bushynose pleco (male)

(14 species, 33 fish)

2 Eheim cannister filters (one Ecco, one regular)

Only a couple of the plants are real, plus plenty of java moss throughout. Lots of bogwood, agates, quartz - plus some fired clay sculptures, a geode, a small Terminator action figure, and, of course, the Rancor.

Where did you get that decoration with the bubbles coming out of it?

A gaming shop in my mother's neighbourhood has a Star Wars themed tank with two immensely fat albino Xenopus in it.

Duh! I was just trying to figure out what kind of fish a rancor is.

Cool tank and background!

It's a fired clay sculpture I made in high school - was originally intended to be a light, but the notch in the back for a power cord worked just as well for running an airstone line in.

I like it...if you ever decide to be rid of it, I want first dibs.

Good looking tank!

Do you like the Upside down catfish? I'm thinking of getting some, but not sure yet.

Well, mine are total lurkers, and I gather this is pretty common. So I don't see them a lot, but I kind of like that - I don't like all of my fish being immediately obvious, all of the time.
