Fletch

Check your PM Sarah

These taken this morning. Female easy, male impossible. He puts on show at back of tank and minute I put camera down, he comes to the front. I truely believe he is messing with my head!!!!!!!

Female first

Male

Funny that these guys are the slowest growing. More color but not much growth in past week. Normal ones booming.

Put simply, have read lots about this system. I am seriously considering buying one ($250).

Can anyone recommend it? Only want to use it as grow up before sale.

Good points, bad points.

Thanks

Sorry, don't understand. You are doing water changes every two days with a good filter running? Why? What don't I know? My fry tank gets about a third changed twice a week and that only has sponge filter. Do bottles every two days but not tanks with filters.

Want to see plans for barrack system. In process of turning cupboard with fry tank on it to a barracks. Not sure how many will fit but hoping for about 18.

Yea mate. All the same. Lucky I like the shade of red. Lol

Where are you and are you after male or female. Send me a PM.

All those years must mean you are wise and full of........what's the word................wisdom. That's it. Hahaha:-).

Hey mate, how'd you go with the filter? Chin up, today must be better!! :-)

You get to Brissie, you can have a pair Sarah.

Sorry guys, but was going through photos and was totally blown away by the difference of seven weeks.

Let me know if you sick of seeing these guys. Will get another pair from someone soon, maybe some HM.

From this at four weeks

To this at eleven.

Wow. Thankyou.

Sorry mate. No much else can be said. Accidents happen.

Happy Birthday Wayne. Bet you can keep track of the years when it's your b'day unlike New Years. Ha ha :-)

Any chance you can take a photo of the overflow from beanie box? Looking at doing something a bit smaller but same idea. Thought you were going to use guttering for overflow. What changed your mind?

Where did you get your beanie boxes from and how much?

Cheers mate. Great setup.

Quick update. Check styrofoam box for leaks. Have noticed this morning that floor was wet. Not complaining considering the weather up north.

After further investigation, there seems to be the slowest leak possible in one corner. Carpet drenched.

Am now using same setup in a tank I had spare. Very lucky that it all fit in tank with no adjustments.

Rip little buddy. Sorry Sarah.

Nice fish. My father had Frontosa breeding in community tank. Never seen dwarf ones. Funny that the smaller fish more agro.

Basic T shape with sump running length of back. No way out. Old spawning tank.

That's it. You got it. Well done. :-)

Sponge filter pumps water from back section to top left side. Water passes through to back section through right hand side at the bottom corner. This is photo from left side of tank. Sump on left.

Hope you can make sense of it.

Now just waiting on my IAL. :-)

This was my old breeding tank but now using it as display tank.

This is dad. Loving it. Very macho.

And this is the lucky boy. He is in heaven. Loves playing in the current. Won't sit still. Only been in an hour and both there color has just intensified so quickly.

Hope you enjoy.

Second crappy iPhone. Always put v or b instead of full stop

Some really beautiful fish amongst them Jarrod. Just seems to be a different fish each time. Lol

Yea, that's him. She still a bit washed out but we shall see what tomorrow brings. Think there might have been another male in with the females....... All jarred now so will wait and see. Thinking about moving young fry and setting up display tank. Bit early I know but............

Welcome back. You left in Sept I joined Oct. So hello and pls post pics of your community tank.

Best photos I could get. Only jarred a few hours ago and big difference in color and behavior. Did not realize the change would be so dramatic with the girls untill I saw Jarrods happen before our eyes.

All photos of male. Not sure if split is even. Sometimes looks good, sometimes not so good. Will have to wait unti he flares I think.

Female looks very even. Can't get photo yet as a bit shy.
