More tanks

[mixixe]

I did go kinda nuts with my camera when I got it, so here are the other tanks.

My 75 gallon tank that usually looks empty b/c my two fish like to hide.

My 55 gallong oscar tank. It's empty b/c I gave up putting plants in it.

What? You'd plant and Oscar would un-plant? :laugh:

Good luck getting them to stay still long enough to count. :swoon:

Thanks for sharing your pics... keep 'em coming.

[Melody]

You just keep snapping - I like looking at other people's tanks, even empty looking ones.:smile:

I have a zillion plastic plants if you want them on the next trade - Mr. Oscar wouldn't like the taste of those, but I suppose he could still 'uproot' them. I silicone nice rocks into the base of the ones that I use, but he'd just laugh at that :laugh: .

[mixixe]

Otto (my oscar) will only get floating plants from now on, but his pleco friend (brandon) keeps eating them up ( even all the duckweed Yay!!). No plastic plants for him either as that didn't work out, they always ended up on the other side of the of the tank somewhere and he would constantly attack them. But I'll probably try again :)

thanks for sharing your pics!

[Pamelajo]

Thanks for sharing you pics. I love seeing pics of other peoples tanks.

[mixixe]

I'm procrastinating from studying and must do this first before I do anything else! haha so I took some more pictures so I can load them up so you guys can get a better look at some of my fish and then some of my plants b/c i like my plants!

This time you can actually see my catfish in the tank!

I have yet to identify that plant with the long thin leaves

[Melody]

I love that new camera of yours ;) .

I don't want to alarm you, but there's a FISH in that big tank! We all thought that he was your pretend fish friend :laugh: . He's a big one alright - neat coloring.

[mixixe]

Sometimes when I stare at my big empty tank I think that he's my pretend fish friend too :err: but I got evidence now! :D

[CACAdmin]

He just likes to play hide and seek. After all, it would be awfully boring if you always knew where he was!

[mixixe]

So last night I was fishing for excuses not to study after posting my pics that I decided I will redo my bichir tank so it would look less boring and I like it alot better now. The bichirs are swimming around alot more too, before only one swam around the other one hid under a log all day. So that means I got some pics of them :)

Now the tank isn't just a log with java moss in it anymore. I changed the lighting a bit, but it's only relaly bright in the middle where it hits the amazon sword.

[madattiver]

ha.. he does look like he is smiling.. nice pics

[Melody]

That is one happy fishy alright! lol I like your snails too :smile: .

[MobileImage]

Wow, your orny is getting nicer color and bigger too! ;)
I like your bichirs the most :notworthy:

[mixixe]

of course you do :) my orny is getting nicer color now b/c you can actually see it and it's not hiding under that log anymore! it's gotten too fat! I still like my senegal more, but dragon is starting to grow on me... now that he doens't go hiding when he sees me.

[mixixe]

a bit bored today so took out the camera, plus I bought some new fish so I wanted to take some shots. So here are some pictures !

My old bichir tank converted into a community tank as those guppies Melody gave me went completely nuts

Enjoy!

[grumpystiltskin]

First time ive seen these pics of your tanks, awesome looking tanks,
i love the birchirs, and catfish, really nice mixxie, everything looks clean and healthy:smile:
mick

[Melody]

You're getting some very pretty Guppy colours :yes: . Looking good!

[CACAdmin]

Those x-ray tetras are really cool.:yes:

[mixixe]

yeah I love the xrays. I think they are actually albino xray tetras. 1.88 each! sooo nice!

[CACAdmin]

This is what I love about people posting pics. There are so many fish I would love to have but simply don't have the room... this way I get to enjoy other people's fish.::D:

[Melody]

I think they're albino Pristella Tetras. I had some a couple of years ago :smile: .

[CACAdmin]

They remind me of glass cats... there's just something fascinating about fish you can see right through.

[Katalyst]

Wow those are some beautiful tanks! I WISH I could keep plants like those but my goldfish just shred them. Recently I bought all these gorgueous floating plants and figured I'll fix them...Well now they are in a black ugly floating basket in the tank which no one can either see (me) or enjoy (the fish)...Now I'm wondering what the point is lol.

[mixixe]

yes x-ray tetras are the same as pristella tetras. :) I've never seen them before though so I had to get them. I love glass cats too. Plants look good anywhere! Even in a bucket!

[Melody]

I think I got mine at Petsmart of all places, but that's the only place I've seen them before or since. Nice score - I really liked mine too.:smile:

[mixixe]

I got mine in pet habitat in richmond center. They have some really nice fish there.

[Melody]

I don't think I've ever been to that one, I'll have to check it out!

[mixixe]

More pictures! I'm trying to get a planted tank going so I've been taking some pictures and ended up taking lots! so here are some more pics of the fishies including some pics of my new platies!


Here are some pics of the pintail platies I got from big al's of all places!

[Melody]

Great shots! I hope you have better luck with your BA's Pintails than I did. I bought a tank full of them and not one survived. They were pretty while they lasted though. They brought a nasty bug with them too :mad: .

[mixixe]

oh no! I'll let you know in a couple of weeks. too soon to tell now but I do like them!

[Melody]

It was a long time ago, so hopefully this shipment is better. :yes:

[CACAdmin]

Nice pics. I like that comet pintail and of course the wag... very pretty indeed.:yes:

[mixixe]

which one is the comet tail?? lol

[CACAdmin]

She's the gold one with the black edges on the tail in the second and third pictures.

[mixixe]

sadly both the wags have died since transfering them into my tank... something like two days afterwards, all the other ones are great, including the comet tail. I love them

[CACAdmin]

:hugs: Sorry to hear you lost the wags. Glad to hear you're having success with the rest.

[Melody]

The disease they brought to me was a weird one. It was slow - there was always a fish or two fading away while the others appeared fine, then a couple more would be sick, until they were all gone. Once I caught on I started euthanizing as soon as one looked ill, but it didn't stop it. I threw every med at it that I could find and nothing worked. Very frustrating, whatever it was. Management just shrugged and told me to check my parameters...:rolleyes: ...that boy was in diapers when I started fishkeeping.

They did look sick for a long time before dying though, so I don't think that's the case here. Certainly hope not! Good luck with the rest. :smile:

[mixixe]

I certainly hope not! But thanks for the tip. I gotta stop buying from stores, but it's really hard not to. Of course, whatever they brought in seems gone, but I still dont' know and i'm just crossing my fingers, but they look good right now.. wish me luck!

[Melody]

I still buy from stores so you won't see me pointing and laughing...lol...I've found some beauties at the retail level. All the luck in the world to you!

[mixixe]

a redwag came out of nowhere today, so i guess only one died..the other just went on vacation :laugh:

[Melody]

LOL Well I'm glad he's back!

[CACAdmin]

a redwag came out of nowhere today, so i guess only one died..the other just went on vacation :laugh:
It's amazing how fish can hide but I like your term of reference... from now on when I can't see one of my fish, I'll just assume he or she is on vacation.:;):
