My Tanks (update: Aug 07)

[blueblue]

I have restructured my tanks and here are photos of some of them ^.^

I finally moved all apisto breeding tanks into a new fish room:

Some planted apisto tanks

There is also an L46 breeding tank

Oh blueblue, I've waiting to see update of your tanks for so long:biggrin:
Now they look much smarter. What I see also is, that you put much more plants into your aquariums, so Apistos have more hideouts. That's nice!
The Zebras tanks are nice as well ^.^
By the way, I'd like to see Adoketas tanks. Are there any updates in their tanks?:biggrin:

EDIT: What is the bottom surface of your Zebras tanks?

 

[beleg]

BB, Where do you grow the fry to sell able size? They look neat. I will post my sets pic once it looks tidier :\

 

[cacatuoides]

any individual pictures of apisto tanks without CO2?
just simple setup :biggrin:

 

[blueblue]

Thanks much

1. Well, here is an updated photo of my wildcaught male adoketa
and the tank:

2. For the zebra pleco, the tank is bare-bottom and the pattern is just the surface of the paper placed between the tank and the desk.

Thanks beleg. Hmm, i have some fry raising tanks not shown in the photos. They are a kind of ad-hoc and so look less tidy ^.^

1. Well, here is an updated photo of my wildcaught male adoketa
and the tank:

WOW HE IS SIMPLY GORGEOUS ! ! ! ^.^ Did you find a good "partner" for him?

Thanks ed seeley. Well, frankly speaking, there are also places in a mess somewhere in the fish room, hehee

Hi Piotr, thanks and here is the pair's photo

 

[peterK]

Female is even more beautiful than the male ^^ And she looks like a bumble-bee, hehe:wink:

hahaa, good description ^.^ by the way, during the breeding mood, the male's face will turn sharp red which is very attractive

simple settings: Breeding tanks for A. eliza and A. diplo

 

[blueblue]

A very crowded community tank of all kinds of apistos, F1, and i. adoketa F1, the substrate is eheim's bio-ball, and there is an external filter of Eheim and a Sera's sponge filter.

Does your apistos chase each other around? is the simple setup able to provide them space to hide or something?

What I'm facing is my male is always chasing the female and I tend to add more "furniture" inside the tank to create more "hiding places", is it all necessary to do so?

Adding more furniture always helps. On the other hand, if you have a lot of fish in a crowded tank, fighting is a smaller problem

For a pair in a 2ft tank, would you suggest less or more furniture?

Thank you blueblue....:biggrin:

Thank you blueblue....:biggrin:

hmm, if it is just a pair... i would recommend a small amount of furniture only... this size is good enough for a pair of any apisto (but may not be enough for adoketa)...

Thank you for your advice blueblue...I've learnt a lot from you :biggrin:
