TheresaM's tank thread

[fish wrangler]

The guy I purchased them from said he had about 100 tanks. I am not sure why then due to cost he wouldn't have fed them any flake food.

Do you know which frozen food he used? It may have been cheaper for him to make his own frozen food than buy flake.

Love the picture Theresa!

Chopped up bloodworms and brine shrimp so yeah you may be right.

Haven't gotten much of anything done lately for a number of reasons. Found out about a death in the family on Friday. Saturday morning woke up to a non-draining kitchen sink which means all WC, top offs, etc are a no until we get a plumber out to the house.

New breeding net hasn't arrived, still shows out for delivery last Friday Kicking myself now for not just going to Petco.... A few fry stayed in the net but I saw this when I checked the tank this morning:

So I just let everyone out of the net instead of stressing the kuhli by trying to catch it. Crazy fish

So sorry to hear that.

Very sorry to hear that My condolences are with you.

I got a breeder net from PetCo a while back for cory eggs, it was pretty good. No holes. Don't remember the name though.

Thank you. It wasn't someone I was close to but it's still sad.

The new breeding net arrived and it's 100% better! I netted fry off and on for the rest of the day so there are probably 20 or so in there now.

Had some fish arrive as well including this bonus betta girl. With her coloring I'd like to put her in the 16g but she's a bit shy (or just settling in) so she's in the Spec for now. She's been looking at the fish and shrimp but doesn't seem particularly interested in either.

Fry in the new breeding net are doing well.

The recent fish purchase was a group of yellow jacket Endlers as well as some adolescents and young fry, group of least killifish, and 2 female bettas. I also picked up a 10g at the Petco $1/gallon sale and maybe another female betta

Tanks and fish are a mess right now. One betta and the older Endlers fry are in the new 2.5g, I set up a temporary 2.5g on my desk for the Petco betta, and the empty 10g is on the kitchen island

I was originally going to do something new/different in the 10g but I'm rethinking that. I'm definitely doing to break down the 2.5g dwarf amber barb/red rili tank and the 2.5g temp betta tank. The Evolve is going to move somewhere leaving all that space on my desk for the new 10g. I'll use a sponge filter, not sure about light, not sure about substrate although I'm leaning towards black sand. I still have to figure out what I want to do with the Spec 5 so I'm doing a spreadsheet of tanks & stock hoping it'll be easier to make decisions seeing everything on paper...

I finally set up a reminder on my phone to do ferts and I've been following thru rather than just thinking don't feel like it right now, I'll do it tomorrow...the plants seem to appreciate it

[TheresaM]

Seems like someone wants back in the breeding net:

That's exactly what it looked like, crazy fish

Kuhlies are truly awesome fish. It seems like your's come out a lot during the day. Mine don't...maybe when I decrease the lighting on my tank they'll be a bit more comfortable.

My favorite fish! My 16g is in the living room, the kuhlis in there are a bit shy. The group in this tank is out all the time though which is odd because it's in a corner with windows on two sides so it gets a lot of light.

I love Kuhli but sadly never owned them. They run $7-$10 a head here and for a nice group it adds up.

Haven't seen you in a while, how have you been?

Wow, that's crazy! I think the last time I was at the lfs they were maybe $3 each.

I've had kuhlis since I got my first tank, the group with the Endlers is by far the most social and active I've ever kept!

That is so true! My dream tank would be something custom made, low but very long and full of kuhlis!
