55Gal Freshwater Fish Journal

Yea, this is gonna end up as a thread updating on all my tanks, sorry.

3 Golds in their morning slowness. Light goes on at 8am & turns off at 8pm, so I donno why they are still slow until I come along and watch them all.

Whole tank, hoping to buy plants from a new friend(?) on here soon to fill in my 3 tanks.

Banana plant with new leaf. Anyone know how to care for these things...??

Kitties! 2 out of 3, Spotted Pitcus Cats

Rubberlip, kitty and blue snail.

 

I just found babies! From the red wag platy pair I originally got? Not sure, but the 2 I have seen are darned cute. I am warming up a 30gal that houses my 2 Ghost shrimp, 1 is preggo. Once it's warm, I will move most of the Riccia to that tank, hopefully with all the fry too! I have 2 others that are red wags, deep red and good black on tail and fins, but those guys were hiding..

 

great update Secuono

its cool when you get nice surprises like finding baby fish

what did you can the rabbit by the way?

Fluff ^.^
BF named her...

 

I have 2 platy fry that are doing really well. They are in a 30gal with a heater at 80, 2 ghost shrimp and some plants that didn't make the salt treatment so they are recovering in there too. They swim around together down to the bottom and all around, very cute! YouTube - DSCN1647
That's one of them, the more gold colored. I will have a vid of both later on.
Right now I am having issues with my light hood, it's broken. So I need to buy another...

nice update Secuono

all my gold fish seemed to be called Bob

if you watch them carefully you can see their lips move and they are saying Bob

lol
mine are lazy sleepers, they only become active when i'm around messing with the tanks
is 12hrs too long for the lights to be on...??
is a 2.5in opaline big enough to eat 1CM-1.5CM fry??

 

I think 12 hours is fine for a light up period

those fry sound a bit big for the Gourami to eat IMO although if you can keep them seperate no reason to take any risk

Yea, I was able to make a 10.7.5in or so screened box for them to be in. I was using a large catching net before, but it kept slipping. I'm waiting for them to be at least 2CM or so before I let them go free. I'll also have more plants planted by then too.
