I took all the crypts out; they were just getting too unruly and I didn't like the look of them in this tank. They're in the 10 gallon now... almost as carpet cover. I used a bunch of the plantlets and planted them close to the substrate. It looks kinda cool.

Thanks man. It just wouldn't feel right sticking fry that I raised for three months in a box. LOL I'd feel terrible. A 10 gallon tank is too small for any rainbowfish, anyway... they're pretty active and need room to swim.

Time for an update! :) About 4 months ago I started finding Furcata Rainbow fry in my tank: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f82/holy-crap-furcata-rainbow-fry-help-101815.html After finding an ever-increasing number of them, I put together a 10 gallon tank and moved the adults there, and...

Yep, that's microsword.

LOL I wouldn't know the first thing about shipping fish. I think i'm going to work something out with an LFS not far from me.

I have 12 fry now, and am setting up a 10 gallon planted grow-out tank.

LOL... I'm up to 9! Here's a pic of 5 of them:

Haha that's incredible! I kinda like the way they scaped it.

I have 8 fry now!

My filter inlet is well covered by a cylindrical sponge filter and a lot of java moss. I found two more, for a total of 4! :D Here is the father:

I have two in the QT net, now. :D

It's been quite some time since I started this little endeavour... the lighting is fairly low for this tank so everything grows rather slowly. The foreground is micro-sword, which has been slowly filling out nicely. The large piece of driftwood on the right has a few bits of java fern and a...

I just picked up some of that, and a quarantine net. I'm hoping a few more show up, but so far it's only the two.

I wasn't trying to breed them or anything, but apparently they did... I just spotted two fry in my tank! Help! What do I feed them? I have a very dense portion of the tank full of java moss and other plants (where they are now) so I don't think they will be eaten by other fish.

A few more CRS (now 6) and some HC pearling atop some driftwood.

Wow it's been over a year now since my last update to this thread! :) The tank is still doing well, albeit pretty overgrown, so I jumped back into re-scaping mode and am planning out a few changes. Here are a few recent pics with my new camera: Female longfin albino bristlenose pleco...

I was hoping to increase the water volume not to increase the bioload, but to keep the water specs more easily balanced. I try my best not to cram fish into tanks, as you can see from my signature. I have this 10 gallon tank sitting around and I'd hate to let it go to waste, but I don't plan...

Anybody?

I see a lot of threads in here about making a sump for SW tanks, but has anyone made one for FW? Here's my situation: I have a 20 gallon tall planted tank with one of those DIY-style CO2 systems. I can only get about 10ppm CO2 from it. I have a spare 10 gallon tank that I'd like to use as a...

Wow a whole school of celestial danios! Are these being bred now? Last I recall, their natural habitat was being raped by all the demand. How big is your tank, too?

I may be wrong, but it looks like there's some anaerobic bacteria growing in your sand... you may want to stir up the sand a bit, and add some MTS or Corys. Are those plants real? They look so good, I keep thinking they're fake.

Whoa... I thought I was doing a good job with my 20... I'm not even close! How long has it been established?

Regular bumblebee gobies are a different species than these.

Nice, the tiny bumblebee gobies look perfect! Only problem is it seems I can't find anyone with experience keeping them. Even a Google search only yields fishbase-type webpages, which help... but I like to see what others have learned when keeping them in captivity, also. So, has anyone kept...
