DoubleDutch's tanks and fishies

[DoubleDutch]

I am wondering why you peel the zucchini? Is there a reason ?
Some of my BN pleco eat the skin first as if it’s the best part.

It is a slice of cumcumber if you mean the one with the sticks

Some random pics and a vid of my Pseudomogil gertrudae fry just moved from a 10litre to a 30litre nano for the next step in their life.

I love the marbled hatchets also, i bought 2 from my lfs [all they had], but one jumped out so i'm down to one. He gets along with the silver hatchets though.

These are two species mixed up at the LFS

At what temperature are you keeping the Hillstreams? Are they by themselves, or do you have other fish in the tank beside the Hillstreams?

 

[MacZ]

Both videos are the same tank.

Oops! Just realized it, I was not looking at the videos yet when I responded....just saw Hillstream

21C Zebra danios were the first inhabitants.

 

[DoubleDutch]

Starting to love Asian fish as well hahaha. So much fun these hillstream loaches

 

[DoubleDutch]

Surprise rainbowfry (eggs in riccia) appear to be M.praecox instead of P.gertrudae. Nevertheless beautiful fish.

 

[DoubleDutch]

The rainboweggs we got in the Riccia

 

[DoubleDutch]

Not the best pics guys, but what fry is this. To me the options are Green neon tetras, Cardinal tetras, Hatchets , Pearl Gourami

 

[MacZ]

Cardinals are out. Hatchets and green neons should also be very unlikely... If any of the characins it's the green neons. But pearls... hmmm... They look a bit like pseudomugil to me. Have you moved or added plants?

Nope.

My wild uneducated guess woulda been hatchet fish. It looked like in a couple pics it had that big front chest look…

 

[Flyfisha]

That is called a “ hungry little fry” from the sub species “feed me feed me“.
I can say this without a doubt because of the blue eyes.

They have just being fed hahaha.

Hahahahaha that’s why I did a wild uneducated guess

 

[DoubleDutch]

I constantly do hahahaha. Puzzled !

 

[DoubleDutch]

Moved 8 rainbowfish to a bigger tank.
Then tiny fry appeared in the tank they came from.

 

[kallililly1973]

Can you post a picture of the tank you moved the rainbows into that plant n rock formation looks awesome! What size tank did u upgrade them to?

The tank in the vid is the old tank in which they grew out as surprise fry (eggs in plants we got). Now they're housed in a 80 cm tank

Nice! So they have been upgraded to a 20 long or 29? Not to hijack your thread but how do u think a 6 pack of those would do in a 55?

Melanotaenia praecox (Neon Dwarf Rainbowfish) — Seriously Fish

In 55G I'd add more

 

[DoubleDutch]

Melanotaenia praecox fry fed microworms

 

[DoubleDutch]

One eyed Gary Gourami building his 10th bubblenest.

Since we added a male Pearl he hardly ever swims with the females and has a bubblenest constantly.

Quite weird in my experience

 

[DoubleDutch]

Moving house. My 5 tanks will end up in 2 tanks (bought a new 1 meter tank for Rainbows, Cherrybarbs and several Corys.

 

[GlennO]

Very nice Praecox. It can be difficult to find quality specimens nowadays, at least in this part of the world.

They found me Glenn hahahahaha.

Got some plants with some eggs in it.
After being raised they bred and again we got some extra of these jems.

 

[DoubleDutch]

Happy fishies around

 

[DoubleDutch]

The males suddenly had a weird stripe over their back which vanished later

Think we need a spawningmop

 

[DoubleDutch]

Getting a lift of a serial killer

 

[DoubleDutch]

Nice progress in the new tank.

I'll be moving house again in some months

 

[jackywacky]

how do you get your lily to grow so well

 

[DoubleDutch]

how do you get your lily to grow so well

Personally I think the led lighting in this tank has the right spectrum to grow this way. To be honest there are two lilies (a green and a red one).

These are in another tank (don't mind the glass : we're back on maintenance).

Removing old leaves helps as well.

 

[Rose of Sharon]

Your cories are so cute!!! They look so good and healthy!!

 

[DoubleDutch]

I like the looks

 

[DoubleDutch]

Proof that snails and fish shoal together hahaha

 

[DoubleDutch]

Still think C.sterbai are one of the most beautiful Corys.

Sterbai and Pygmy are definitely my favorites.

You jave the rocky backgrounds on your tanks. Are they external or internal 3D?

Internal 3D. It is a kind of polyester basis with a ceramic layer over it which makes it a bit hard to adjust.

Interesting, how deep are these?
