Some of my fish

[ApistoShane]

I have a tank full of juvenile jet black swordtails I hope to get males from !
I am trying them in my lowest tank in the coolest spot as when they were in the 20g rack they produced all females..I mean I have 2 males to 100+ females !
Here is a quick video of my Red Picta which are also in a low tank with no heat [fingers crossed]...

Those look awesome.

Happy New Year all !
I will start with my only real planted tank in fish room.

That's my 29 in the all with the silver hatchets , orange laser cories an oto and possibly surviving farrowellas X2...The jury is till out if they eat...

My marine fish now 3+ years old [maybe 4 or 5 but why push it ,knock on wood]

Miss Mandarin

Desarjardini tang

Blue hippo and clown

I have kept marine since the 80s.
I have always had a mandarin ,royal gramma and marine betta .The commet[betta] is my all time favorite marine with the mandarin a close second..
Betta

Marine is nice and Mrs.bandit find that tank her favorite..If it didn't fuel my brine shrimp[perfect water everytime] I am not sure I would keep it now.I don't work on it enough.

My long finned lemon platy;

My Alpha swordtails ;

Can't wait till these guys turn it on...

This is how it all starts !

"Rapps" better watch out. I think you might overtake him, Bandit. Beautiful collection.

 

[mbkemp]

That hongslio is very nice

 

[coralbandit]

Thank you both..
I think I get lucky in picking fish and who I get them from ???
It doesn't hurt to be able to let fish grow out patiently in their own tanks.

 

[coralbandit]

Moving fish around to new tanks and general cleaning ..
Nice to see clean tanks in some pics !
EBR

Still hopefully platinum angels 1 month old on the 18th.

Some young GBR/EBR in their new 40b[tank is only new to them !]

Some F1 from GBR/EBR cross in their new 40b[tanks are only new to them]

Nice Bandit!

The female Pelicachromis taeniatus moliwe [ my wild kribensis ] was out front and posing this am so I had to take pics of this elusive beauty ..

She is such a prize IMO and knowing I have just under 60 of her fry at almost 2 months old and another 40+ at aprox.5 weeks old is very exciting....
What a hot fish ..BIG thanks to my buddy Shane for getting the original group to me so I could have this opportunity..

Not a problem, and yes, I agree. She looks amazing. The fry grow quickly, beware [emoji6].

I am working with drachenfelsi at the moment, enjoying them quite a bit as well. Bright bright females.

They don't grow fast enough IMO !
Angels grow like weeds ..
Here are my 'Dime sized ' platinum [yes they all look platinum still !] angel fish that are 1 month and 2 days old ..
They are eating frozen blood worms and BBS like it is their job..Maybe it is !

Got of few good shots of my female super red plec in my 180 yesterday also..

She is striking and about 3 inches now..

 

[ApistoShane]

I have a male that looks like an adult amongst the Sp. Abacaxis fry... to me they grow fast, but to a ram breeder like you, it is difficult to convince [emoji6].

I've got to say what both of you guys are doing for the hobby and forum is great! Must reads for sure. I'm sure I'm not the only one on here that is eager to read/see pictures of new posts. It's awesome to see guys that breed and sell fish that aren't afraid to help others and are passionate about the what they do. I can't wait until I'm at the point where I'm ready to be a customer. It's really cool seeing and reading about developments with your fish/fish rooms.

^^ Too cool ! Thanks I really ,really enjoy fish . ^^
I am a fish head just like the rest of you ! Just a little older then some and probably a little more out of control then the most of you !

 

[mbkemp]

I completely agree smallfry53. Everything these guys write is backed with wisdom

 

[Brookster123]

Yah, bandit is crushing it!

 

[shellyx]

Absolutely beautiful fish you have and they all look so healthy ?

 

[Carrie1]

Ah those angels are just so cute! I hope to see more pictures of them as they grow! I bet they will be beautiful!

Good morning (or night?) Tom,

I have been very busy with my last set of high risk finals... but my iniridae have spawned - yet again. I can’t seem to get the eggs from egg stage to hatch... I may have asked this before but what parameters did you receive hatches in? This is the first time I am experiencing this in any Apistogramma... I am interested to get these guys going! It is an awesome challenge [emoji6].

I have attached a really poor photograph... I overturned the cave and I didn’t want to disturb her, but there are a solid 75 or so eggs underneath the area where my thumb is pointing.

Let me know!
