For those looking for a backdrop thats very inexpensive...see the before and after pics of my 75 gal african tank...I got tired of seeing my wall that so is in the process of being painted..so I found some black "over the hill" wrapping paper today and just knew what to do with it!! all for $1.99

Shawnie, I love the wrapping paper What a great idea! The fish look like they are doing great! How many do you have in your tank now?

Shawnie

ty everyone!!


who knows kate...he keeps adding ...probably around 12-14 LOL ...I keep telling him hes going to have a major war on his hands if he does it that way(I like this color so im getting 2) but he says they are all doing fine and have a ton of places to hide...(they actually do get along but im not telling him that!)

MissMTS

He may be in for a rude awakening when they reach adulthood. Adding more females always helps the aggression though. 14 Africans in a 75 gallon is not too many. You can probably have as many as twenty I am so tempted to stock the way that he does at times, but so far I have done pretty well restraining myself. Enjoy the little guys, they are so much fun!

Shawnie

I dont have a clue on half of what he has in there...not sure what type of fems to get and stock ...for all i know they are all fems...theres no agression yet so guess time will tell......hes making me pull my hair out for sure but it is a lively tank...they are as close to oscars and the personalities as I can get....

Your fish are beautiful and look so healthy and active. Love the background idea. Great ideas at great prices, I love it. I heard the noise in the background--is that the beer getting loaded into the frig

Shawnie

yes...I applogize for that

Charlize

Great and inexpensive idea!
