Back in the game

I have been here since getting my first tank In 2006. Hard to believe it’s still going! Since then i have some new tanks, some old tanks still going, some old tanks reset up, some in the planning stages. This hobby I can never escape it.

I’ll start with my newest one. It’s a 38 gallon soon to be mid tech planted

I’m waiting for swords some crypts to plant along the back. The front I just wanted open with sand no foreground stuff . It’s for an angelfish pair, some Hatchets and a group of black cories. 2 Albino cories with them because I think the black cories mixed with albinos is just all kinds of awesome. Afterward few nerite snail maybe and I’m a happy fish keeper.

The angels are in.

Several Anubias plants, dome Java ferns, duckweed.

Waiting for the sword plants, marbled hatchetfish and cories

Thanks for sharing the video. Fish are looking good. Tank is looking good.

no problem thank you the following.
I am going try to get some 55 gallon shots tonight it’s a 55 with just polar blues.

Well the stripes go from pitch black to pale to nonexistent. I am thinking the other fish will be as distractions between them as they do lip lock and stress each other out. Or maybe I’m stressing them, I am bad at that!

polar blues have spawned.

In that second pic I swear that fish is giving the side eye!

The male is keeping the other 3 juvies away. She just stays with the eggs and he patrols and will bite at me. Lucky the glass is separating us or I’d get nipped. They are excellent parents!

Im not sure if those are swords or anubias but make sure the rhizome or crowns arent burried too deep. Even swords i heard tend to do better with their crowns above the gravel. Looks really nice tho. Thanks for sharing. I like the music too.

You are right. It’s been a long time since I planted Anubias. I added a few big Amazon swords too.

I fed frozen bloodworms this morning. The new hatchets won’t go down at all for them but they knew the food was there, still won’t budge. So I did add a bit of cichlids flake I don’t use very often just for them.

I removed the 3 babies as the parents are trying go kill them to protect the new eggs

I like how those fish swim around. They can really stop on a dime. Does that guy have anti-lock brakes?
