My tanks

[shellyx]

Hi
Haven't been on in a while so i thought I'd do an update on my tanks.
Still have my elephant nose he's doing great 6yrs now.
My boraras have new companions, i added 5 clown killifish and micro crabs, all doing great.
Also in this tank my super red longfin bristlenose have bred and I have loads of babies![emoji7] such cuties.
My betta is still having issues with nipping his tail added new ornaments too hopefully help but no.
Here's some pics

Welcome back! Those killis are a nice addition.

 

[shellyx]

Thank you.
Yep really enjoying them. Great little characters!

Lovely BN. They have the cutest babies!

Nice to see you back in action here! Missed you!

Forgot to mention the...

Rocket/Clown Killi. How are they doing for you. Are they eating well? Keep reading about how they can be hard to feed /& like live foods.

Thai Micro Crabs, anything special you do for them?

My Thai Micro crabs hide very well or they are gone. They have floating plants roots to hang out in.

My Thai Micro crabs hide very well or they are gone. They have floating plants roots to hang out in.

I'm having no issues with the killi, feeding them on hikari micro pellets,Dennerle micro, frozen baby brine, daphnia frozen and live and frozen tubifex. Morning is pellets night frozen. They're growing well, wish I had more!
I have 5 thai micro crabs love them, the biggest sits in the driftwood under the flow and always comes out for his crab pellets the other's stay hidden more. I don't do anything special for them.
Counted 32 baby plecos at feeding time hopefully I'll sell them all yikes!
And thank you for the welcome back [emoji1]

Well I now have 5 elephant nose, found some young ones at one of my lfs and couldn't resist. The big guy is doing remarkably well.


Not great pics as they're a bit shy at the moment. They're so tiny next to Gonzo only about the size of his tail.
My red longfin bristlenose have had a second batch of babies, they are everywhere so when they get a bit bigger I'll be selling them, also selling mum and dad as I'm keeping a couple of the young.

Cool. Such interesting fish.

 

[Autumnsky]

Wowzie! Gonzo finally decided he wanted some company, after all these years ! ! !

Also congrats on all the new lfsrbn babies.

 

[shellyx]

Yeah at last Autumn!
Here's more pics, trying to get Gonzo in them so you can see the size difference but not much luck yet

 

[Autumnsky]

They are darling. Oh my goodness. I am so happy for you to find them.

 

[shellyx]

I know so cute!
One isn't looking so good hasn't eating I think he's got internal parasites?
Here's Gonzo with his little friend that's following him about

 

[shellyx]

A couple of pics of my baby bristlenoses soo cute!
And one of my home bred shrimp love her colour

 

[Autumnsky]

Lovely.

How is the less well little EN doing?

 

[shellyx]

He's doing fine they all are. It's actually nice to see Gonzo mix in with his own kind.
I got there eventually!

 

[Autumnsky]

Yes finally! So happy to hear they are getting along and Gonzo is friendly.

 

[shellyx]

Haven't been on busy at home.
Well still have my elephant nose fish doing great growing well. No bullying going on, really nice to see.
My 30gallon, I've sold all but 1 bristlenose wanted to keep 1 myself. Added a vampire shrimp 2month ago and shes doing great.
My thai micro crabs are growing well and I'm getting too see them more such cute little guy's!
On Tuesday i have 2 Rainbow gobies going into this tank looking forward to receiving them.
Here's a couple of pics

Breathtakingly beautiful. I specially love your clown killis. Very nice tanks and setups you have and all your fish are exotic or unusual. Love it

 

[shellyx]

Thank you. Yep i love my killifish as well.

 

[Autumnsky]

Hey good to see you here!!!

Love the Vampire Shrimp they are so interesting. Thai microcrabs are too so interesting. It seems when I switched tanks I could only find one of my 5 crabs. Hoping that a couple were hiding in the DW or plants and I just didn't see them. So tiny and fun to watch.

Glad to hear Gonzo is behaving and maybe likes the company!???
