Spot the OCD in these pictures.

Viewing at own discression as I didn't clean up anything, as you clearly will see. First foto is a panoramic shot of the room. Room is about 2.5m x 2.5m. In front of the window is my micro worms and crickets shelf.

Second foto is the lefthand of the room with the 4ft right. 3ft left. Under the 3ft is the 1.5ft spawning tank and on the right the cube where the chocolate fry is in.

Third foto is of the right hand side of the room. Right top is the 2ft adult chocolate tank. Underneat it is the 2ft kutubu fry tank. The 12 tanks on the left contains some shrimp but mostly open for raising the next lot of fry.

Thanks @Ammar all tanks are still works in progress.

The only tanks heated at the moment is the cube and the 2ft for the chocolates. During winter I only heat the 4ft to stay at 22/23 and if there is fry just that tank. Heat the room at night with a pannel heater.

I think it looks great @pierreschoonraad

After all, you cant have a fish room without all the things you need to work in the tanks so I think it looks great

That tank with the Rainbows... just tell @Ammar to lay off.. that's my tank!! Hehhe.. they stunning....

 

Thanks @MariaS. That is my sanctuary. I have only had 4 non family members in that room and I only clean up, meaning chuck everything in the closet, when somebody comes over or when it starts irritating me.

I tend to loose track of time when I go in there as 10 minuts fish time is normaly more than a hour in normal time.

It actually looks good... and that's the idea of a fish room, you dont have to answer to anyone if things are a bit out of place, Besides....Haha i have seen non fish rooms look 100 times worse!!

I know what its like to lose track of time with your fish... Cesar walked in the other day and switched on my TV... It was unusual so i looked at him and I was told... Mom..Im actually just checking if this thing still works...

 

Lol they are stunning, we can share @MariaS, i just cant beleive how big they get, i didnt think that big. With my current stock i will def need a wider tank.

Ok we can share @Ammar..... and we share the Boesmani babies he has in the pipeline..

Jokes aside.. yes.. I think a lot of people dont realize their size and beauty when they see the grey little fish at the LFS

 

The fry are just looking better each day. Tried to get a good video of the hunting micro worms. End result, he spits it out.

They are absolutely adorable @pierreschoonraad and a fair size already

I think its amazing that they show their colors so prominently from so small

 

They got some good size. On each one the coloration differs which is amazing

The female is still holding fry! Came out this evening to look at the other eating. Got a clear shot of her mouth and the bulge is huge. Looks like I might get more fry this time around. Keeping fingers and toes crossed this side.

Thanks @MariaS. I completely loose track of time when I watch them.

Congrats. holding thumbs for lots of fry.

 

Yes.... know the feeling... especially in the morning when you have to get done and go to work and you find yourself doodling around the tanks.. and when you look at the time.. you running late!!

 

So true. I try to stick to feeding fish only in the mornings. Does 't always happen as planned
