After a horrible week of losing all of the mbuna cichlids in one of my 115g tanks due to the heater failing :banghead: I'm planning to restart the tank slowly. Keep in mind the tank is 36 inches tall x 48 inches long x 18 inches deep. My hubby wants kribinses cichlids. I can do that. I...

For those of us who haven't made the move to dry ferts and who use (and love) the Seachem plant care line, Ken's Fish has great pricing going on right now. I thought I'd pass it on to all you other plant-o-holics. Plant Additives I know it says "add to cart for pricing" but I just got my...

Today I lost my four year old male golden angelfish breeder Ra. He succumbed to injuries from fighting with my other, less dominant male, Osiris. The first picture is him when he was about the size of a quarter. The last is a full shot showing Osiris (marble) Bast and Isis (koi females) and...

At some point I'm planning to upgrade the lighting on my 40g breeder. The tank is already up and running, it has been for years. Here's what's going on in the tank to give you an idea. pressurized CO2 4 drops per second weekly doses of Seachem Flourish Comprehensive, Seachem Flourish Trace...

Since I have nothing but time, spare aquariums and enough parts/pieces to do quite a few more set-ups (ahem, should I have the urge to do so) :cool:, I've been reading about the Walstad method for planted tanks. She has her choices for soil so my question is: I have some Happy Frog Organic...

I thought I'd share some pictures of my newest batch of ABN pleco fry that I just released into their grow-out tank this morning. I had a heck of a time wrestling them away from big daddy pleco. He had been guarding them for 3 weeks. Some of the pics are blurry, look for the little whitish...

So, I received an awesome care package of plants on Wednesday. After letting them warm up to room temp, then floated them over night in a tank, I got around to planting them today in my 40g breeder GBR tank. Now, this isn't a total re-scape or anything. I'm waiting impatiently for everything to...

So I finally broke down and took a picture of some of the tanks today. Sorry for the quality, our cat followed me around the house to torment my ankles and nibble my leg. I'll start with the upstairs tanks: 1) 20 long lampeye killi/ malawa shrimp 2) 20 long peacock gudgeon 3) 55g bolivian...

Just checking in from Northern Longmont to my fellow Coloradoans to make sure everyone is ok with all the flooding going on. No flooding on our end of town, but south of us is closed off. Sound off folks! I may not know you in real time, but my heart goes out to you!

I have this beautiful heavily planted 36g hex tank that I'm trying to figure out what fish to add. There is a huge piece of DW in there, blocked by the plants. Right now it has some orange von rio tetras (which can be moved to another tank), and SAE and a male BN pleco. I've been tossing...

I've decided to thin out my firemouth cichlid stock. This will be for local pick up only: NO SHIPPING 3 year old spawning pair $5.00 they spawn regularly about every month and a 1/2 3 year old pair, not yet spawning $3.00 they just became a pair, no spawns yet 3-3 year old extras $1.00 each...

Finally got it up, planted, decorated and cycling. It's a 33 long, same foot print as a 55 just half the height. It will have my cherry shrimp, some bamboo shrimp and some others I haven't decided on. The 2.5 g tanks on either side will be for my bettas.

I've had these pictures for a few months now on the camera and just hadn't gotten around to showing them off. My little herd of sheepshead pupfish (Cyprinodon Variegatus) in my 80g BW tank

I'm out of ideas. Right now the tank has a betta (who will be getting his own tank) 12 orange von rio tetras, an albino BN pleco and a SAE. I just can't decide on what else to add. Uuughhhhhhhhhhhhh Before these are suggested, I already have GBRs, Bolivians, angels, africans, etc. I'm...

I've got tons of both freshly trimmed from my tanks. Due to the high heat in our region, this will be for PICK UP ONLY. If you reply asking for shipping, you will be deleted. I'm not talking little pieces either. Some pieces are a good 6 inches or longer. There will of course be some smaller...

My hubby and I have been talking about upgrading our shrimp tank (10g) to a 33long. Then he decided today that he wants to make a 6 foot long x 12 inch tall x 12 inch deep rimless. He said he can put in 2 glass bracers along the top to help keep it from bowing out. My question is, has...

So the other day I was sitting and watching my firemouths when I noticed Little Momma eyeballing a leaf. I looked closer and found her and Little Daddy had finally spawned so I got some pictures. As I was taking these, I noticed some of the eggs were vibrating, I was watching them hatch. I don't...

This must be my lucky week; my GBRs and angels have laid eggs. My firemouths have wigglers and my red zebra is holding. (and no, they're not all in the same tank) I'm a happy grandma :)

I finally got to go to the Denver Aquarium yesterday, I thought I'd post some of the pictures. The otters were my favorite.

Calling all african cichlid experts. While I have a clue about africans, My experience is mainly as a SA/NW gal. This is my first time keeping them. I did my homework, asked tons of questions, now I can't find a really good answer to one. I bought 4 Melanochromis auratus juvies. One is...

115g african tank

So one of my 115g tanks sprung a leak, again. We thought we had it fixed until our basement flooded. We were told from a few people to try Dow-Corning 999-A sealant. It's supposed to be more industrial grade, and used on DIY tanks. Anybody here used it or have heard the good, the bad or the...

Here's some pictures of our pond that Mr. Dragonfish dug out this spring. Everything grew in nicely, and then... snow. This is what we woke up to yesterday morning. Our forth snow since Halloween.

So I finally got my 115 african tank going. I adopted a 55 from a friend and got some africans in the deal. Here's some pics of that set up. There's a rainbow shark and 2 featherfin cats in there with them.

Since I haven't posted any new pictures of our 120g in awhile, I took some pics while cleaning it this weekend. This is a Jack Dempsey community type tank. 2 JDs, 1 synodontis Eupterus, 1 synodontis Ocellifer, 2 Pictus cats, 1 common pleco, 7 clown loaches, 7 giant danios.
