my three tanks - finaly some good photos

Hi everyone

Finally a friend with a proper camera visited and took a few shot of my tanks so here goes;

first 2 picture are of my 500litter community tank..


Second pic are of my red spotted deacons babies (120l)

And third are of the red deacons breeding pair. (300l)

 

Very nice indeed.
Do the red spotted deacons breed often?

 

I really love your red spotted deacon!!! I got 5 of them and they just love peas!! But I cannot for the live of me tell if they are male or female...

 

Hey thank you! the deacons breed very often but i am thinking it must stop...
The angels are platinum
as for the difference between male and female deacons, the male patterns on the heads are more defined (the deacon in the last picture is the male)

 

What stunning set-ups. I'm quite surprised that you still have Amazon Sword plants with your Silver Dollars, they love munching any plants. Would love to see a FTS of the tank with the baby Deacons in. How many babies do you have in there at the moment?

 

NICE to finally see your setups - they look great! Your clowns make me green with envy - you must be proud of them after all the work when you first got them?

ps: am glad I'm not the only one without a camera too! I don't know HOW people manage fishies and MTS AND decent cameras!

 

awesome! very lovely photos! The red spotted deacon is my favorite!

 

Thank you tracyP and thank you for remembering the beginning phases! Yes the clowns make me very proud, they are wonderful.
Sky, the amazon swords are being munched this is why i am looking for a home for the dollars . As for the Deacons babies, I only have 10 , still getting the hang of it but 7 are growing beautifully and the largest is almost one cm. Will probably have to sell them soon L

 

Really wonderful looking tanks and the shoal of clown loaches looks amazing

 

Those Deacons are beuatifull and those clown loaches!!! WOW:love:
Cant wait to get my school of clowns...

Just a quick question regarding the deacons. Can they be run in a community tank or not?
Thanx

 

Love the clowns too, look stunning in such a big group well done!

 

thank you thank you thank you!

 

The clown loaches are awesome! I have always wanted to get a school... Beautiful!

And the rainbow fish! Impressive setups.

 

What kind of filtration do you have running on your 500L tank. There are a lot of fish in there... I am wondering how many more fish I can get in my tank.

 

Hey amazinmic I have serious filteration on this tank a monster Eheim 2080 and a smaller Eheim 2217

 

Aaahhh ok, puts it into perspective. Everyone looks strong and healthy

Can i ask , what lighting have you got in the tank of the first pic?
