Title: My tanks
Post by: Don on October 22, 2012, 07:04:48 PM
Hi all managed to get some pics of my tanks, pics of the fish will follow in another post

1st is my 160ltr tank. This is home too 8 hatchet fish,  a breeding pair of platium blue angels, a breeding pair of apistogramma noberti and some fry, which will come out soon, 3 bronze corydoras and my female bristlenose i have had for 5 years. I no it porobably looks a bit gross but the apistos wont let anything near there side of the tank.

Your corner tank has changed a bit hasnt it? I remember the picture you posted on the old forum to show the plant growth after you got your GroBeams! Beautiful Angels - if I remember rightly, you also posted a picture of them before.... they kinda shimmer a bluey colour??

I love the discus too. The second photo is quite funny with the fish face-on to the camera! Really cute!

You've got some nice pieces of wood there, and I do love vallisneria (especially tortifolia!)

Looking good  :)

Really like the Discus tank Don.

Had your Angels laid eggs on the glass in the first 2 pics? Mine started laying on the glass in my tank, just after I'd decided to take their next batch out and hatch them in my quarantine tank. That made it a little difficult. lol

No embarisingly its algae i try and keep as much of it clean but its disturbs the angels and apostogramma when breeding so i kinda just let them get on with it. The angels have been laying on the filter pipe which makes cleaning the strainer a nightmare. Haha angels are nothing if not awkward when laying eggs, cant imagine getting them of he glass was easy.
