Updates on 20g with Sandfall and 55g.

[Ohsnapitscharity]

Great stuff! I like the sand fall,
Just IMO. The red tail shark can get up to 16" and the rainbow shark quite large as well.
Recommended would be probably the 55gallon or larger to home the shark
Again just my opinion

I'm pretty sure it's more like 6". Still wouldn't put it in a 20gallon though...

Oh my bad. What I read I believe said cm. not inches lol

But I had to rehome my rainbow shark from my 20 gallon he started getting aggressively territorial

the new angel, shark, who is a rainbow, BN and 1 lonely tetra(getting more for him to school with...) are in the 55g and all but the tetra are staying there.... the 20g that the sandfall in is still @ my bf's mom,s house, with more stuff in it i think. ill update everyone when i get the tank and get the fall in it.

Well, still dont have the 20g, so i put the 55 back together. Here are some pics!! i tore the black background off, and after a good washing, am putting it back, blue side showing...

I know its a grainy pic, but i think he is koi, anyone agree???

 

[bob mccoy]

i would say it has koi in it but with the color pattern it could have a couple breeds in it . im resurching to find another one like it

 

[bob mccoy]

the one i found that's closest to yours is a koi vail

Well, looks like its another week without my new 20g... but on the upside, i found out my little angel is a female, and put her in with the big male. They are getting along so far. She is so tiny compared to him!!! She is still 2 young to spawn, so it will be a while before i have babies. Here are some pics of the 2 hanging out.


Shows size difference. He was more to the nack of the tank than her tho...



Dinner time.



A better pic of her



One of my fav pics so far!! Again he was more to the back than her.

so... got tired of looking @ my sandfall, so i moved everyone from the 20g into a bucket, with both filters, and their heater and plants, and am now scraping the silicone off the glass from where the shrimp box was, and am installing the sandfall. cant wait til its in where it belongs. ill post pics once its in.

 

[oscarchic11]

Its in!!! I also siliconed cloth leaves to my breeder box so the momma gups will be calmer.

Very nice Chic. I love that sandfall!

 

[oscarchic11]

And it works!!!!!! No vid yet, but here are some pics for now. I think the water level could be a bit higher... still some tweaking to do to it, but i love it!!

Love the breeder box
Where did you come up with such a neat idea?

 

[oscarchic11]

Just to prove to sky their size... these are my 2 week old guppy fry, and 2 adult males

Just to prove to sky their size... these are my 3 week old guppy fry, and 2 adult males

I didn't doubt their size, just amazed at how big they are for only being 2 weeks!

 

[absolutangel04]

Everything looks great. I LOVE the sandfall.

My male angel has been showing what i call his hidden smoke alot lately! Here are some pics.










How he usually looks



And other side

 

[oscarchic11]

OMG!!! So my little angel is most def a girl... and this is how i know...


Guess what she's doing...



EGGS!!!!! The male and her arent paired yet so they wont hatch, but it explains her recent behavior/appearance...

 

[oscarchic11]

Thought i would let everyone know whats up with the 20g and 55g... i moved everyone in the 20g to the 55 and the angels now get the 20g to themselves since they are a mated pair now... gonna get more fish for the 55 as right now its mostly my guppies with some kuhlis and a couple cory cats and comets thrown in... i also got a betta a while back, and have been housing him with my 2 male guppies that i started with, and he likes them. Here are some pics of him, pics of the 55 and 20 will follow...
