Starting over - juli setup

Hi all

Over December while I was away I some bad luck and ended up losing almost my entire collection. I was so bummed by the experience that I sold the few remaining fish to a forum member with the idea of taking a bit of a break from the tanks. But after about a week I couldn't take looking at empty tanks any more so I set up my 2 foot and my 3 foot.

Nothing exciting is happening in my 2 foot it's just cycling to be used as a QT tank but I decided to do a DIY background for the 3 foot and start a shellie colony tank. Unfortunately finding shellies is proving easier said than done so in the mean time I am going to stock the 3 foot with julis. Here are a few pics of the tank, it's waiting for it's new inhabitants, hopefully I will have a chance to go look for them this weekend.

looking good. like the Booner skull. Look mom, no teeth!

 

Nice looking tank bud. Julidochromis are very intresting fish to keep. Im sitting with about 3 batches of fry all about a month apart. The parents are great and all seems to be doing well. Keeping them at a stable PH of 9.0
I would love to sell you a few at a good price but they still tiny. The biggest are sitting at 2cm and the smallest @ about 0.5cm They really slow growers, the 2cm fry hatched mid December. I got some tropheus marlieri and duboisi if you keen. They beyween 6 and 8cm long.

 

Thanks Go-Big, have had that skull for ages, it's been in almost every tank that I've had.

discusguy, will PM you shortly.

 

Sorry for the typo, I meant Tropheus Moori not Marlieri. I was thinking of Julidochromis Marlieri.... 2 completly different fish.
