The End of 100l of Emptyness

sitting looking at the tank and plants. you know what would actually look nice and will take little effort? something like a huge bospaatjie from lets say two 3ds from the one side at the back to 2 3rds to the other side of the tank at the front. then you can let all your plants grow. the bospadjie must get broader to the front (alot) wounldnt that look nice?

 

You have no idea dude. I cut a shopping bags worth of growth out of the tank before that pic :laugh:

 

I like the idea Ryno. I have decided to make this a bit of an experimental tank so I will give that a go. I will probably add DIY CO2 and stems from the 300l and use it as a bit of a grow out tank as well. It also triples up as my quarantine tank :blink1:

 

Hi hope your gouramis give you a nice big spawn. My sunset male died yesterday don't know why just got home last night and saw him floating.

 

@llewellynkearney - I hope so too.

Really sorry to hear about your male. I lost my dwarf male after mine spawned which is why I'm left with a dwarf female and a sunset male. Wierd :wacko:. Seems to take it out of them. Was it bloated at all? Mine got dropsy!

 

I could not see anything wrong with him. This is the second male i lost in the same way. Spawning. I don't know if anyone else here knows if this is normal or what. I'm glad humans aren't like that lol.

 

It would help with population control!

 

Hahahahaha ja it would but them we wouldn't be here will we?

 

My male has started bubble nesting again. He is chasing the female all over :ridinghorse::date:but at the moment she seems to be teasing. :aetsch:

 

hahah just give them time i think you will have a spawn by tomrrow night. i read that they spawn at night so i left my lights on for 2 days and they spawn on the third night.
will hold thumbs for you

 

There was a bubble nest when I got home last night and when I looked again it was gone. @llewellynkearney - What other fish, snails etc are in the tank where yours spawned? I have ramshorn and bladder snails in my tank that I have seen crawling over the bubble nests in the past. I wonder if they are going to be a problem?

 

i also had ramshorn(trying to get rid of them) and then malayasian trumpet snail(they are awesome) and thats all. don't know the bladder snails. but i dont think there will be a problem. do you have any moss with hair algea? i saw mine love to use the hair aldea to construckt his nest. mine's nest was 60% hair algea and 40% bubbles. hih

 

I actually do have a pile of Christmas Moss from my 300l in this tank which definitely has hair algae in it. Come on, spawn!

 

Hi
any news on your spawn yet?

 

She's really making him work for this. There was another nest there last night but he can't seem to get her to come over. Lots of chasing and flaring but nothing! She's on the far left of the tank and he's on the far right. When I looked this morning the nest was gone again. I started feeding them colour enhancing flakes to see if that might help.

 

Just be pacient(spelling). Sone woman are like that hehehehe. I really hope you get a spawn

 

If you ca try and feed them live lood

 

I think most woman like to tease :blink1: That's fine if she gives it up in the end :laugh:

 

The only thing I have is BS? Do you think it will help @Ryno

 

If its live food for sure. Thats how you get fish in breedig condition.
