Top Billing

oi,

did anyone c Top Billing Tonite ?

they showed a house with the biggest private Tank in the Southern Hemisphere ( some Movie producers house in Witbank )

marine 88000 ltrs, u can swim in it !!!

looked very very cool ...

 

jup looked like a malawi tank tho. anyone see the one in the YOU mag in june sumtime?

 

I didn't see it myself, but I have to ask.... How many cardinals could he have in there?

Flip, even if he kept Discus in there, they would be lost! Could you imagine? Lets see, each adult Discus requires 60L minimun to be happy. So to make maths easier, we'll allow each discus to have 88L.... Thats like 1000 Discus!

Ah shucks! Just noticed you mention it was Marine! Bah Humbug!

G!

 

Was a Malawi tank.... Some nice big Anubias barteri planted on the rockwork(wonder where they sourced big plants like that?...Hmmn) - but WHAT A DISSAPOINTMENT the fish was... Bunch of hybrid Zebras,bastardised Aulonocara and what seemed like Venestus City... Most exciting fishie I saw was a lonely Copadichromis borleyii.... Seems like they went to the local LPS and bought out the entire stock of "Mixed Malawis"... What a waste of what could have been an utterly spectacular aquarium...

Think that when I win the Lotto - gonna have myself a 89 000l tank built - pimp it fully with plants,uber cool fish and a CO2 system from hell - then invite that "new money" little producer round for drinks....lol

 

Would explain what happened to that sad looking malawis at that one Witbank LPS

 

Soo many fish, every MTS sufferers dream!

 

Been thinking - in retrospectthink the plants where fake too....lol

 

Thinking about it, this would actually be the perfect tank for me... At first I thought... 'I wouldn't enjoy a tank that size as you'd never see the fish' but then I thought... 'If i had a tank that size, I could keep at least one pair of EVERY Apisto that has been described so far, and not have to worry about territorial disputes!

Stuff the Malawi's (meaning fish of cause), the potential for a little (or large) piece of Amazonia in your living room is enormous!!

looked marine, my bad ..

n it looked WoW !!

just saying ...

 

lol @Luis - not dissing you dude - think I just have a bit of "Uber big Tank envy" Common disease of the true fish nut...lol

@Big G - think we feel the same.... I would just have gone South east Asian... Would a school of 500 30cm Clown loaches be impressive enough?

 

) YEAHHHHH, i want one !!

lol, nah just wish i had had a better look

 

imagine cleaning that mother !!

how do u ??

 

Or a school of plecos and BGKF and and and.
You could re-create a biome in that tank. Having predators and prey, would be like taking a big piece of the amazon.

 

@azurekoi... Not a big fan of Clowns, they give me nightmares! Hehe!

I would love to see the power head used to create enough current for it to become a Goby and Hillstream Loach setup though! How does 5000 Stiphodon gobies sound? And a small shoal of say 1500 Puntius Denisonii?

Hehe! Dreams hey!

G!

 

No Guys,

I saw the feature and it looked just like the typical yuppies tank, large and pretty dead, I mean you can keep dozens of Malawis happy in a swimming pool of that size, but try to keep something a little more complicated and the whole lot will die at the drop of a hat. Pretty ridiculous as far as I am concerned.

Kind regards,

Dirk

 

I missed it. Im gonna set my PVR to record the repeat of Top Billing.

I LOVE MALAWI's !!!! ( the fish ) lol. Gonna visit Rivendell Hatchery on the 8th of Aug in Grahamstown.....

 

ok i dont know if this is thread robbing or chagnjging topic ,but Genie D is my 2nd Cousin B-)...oh yea but any way those tanks were amazing!!! With extra maize...

 

can i get her phone number ds

 

Put me in line too please

Had a flame for her but then I saw her in real life and she's far too short for me...

 

You should see my wife! 5'2"! And I'm 6'4"! Well, actually, after 7 car crashes, I'm now 6'2"! But I was 6'4" when I met her! Don't ask me to convert into Metres? All I know is I'm just shy of 2m!

Genie is rather nice, but not as nice as that newer girl! Funny though, I've always had a 'disposition' for Indian (ish) women! Even more funnily is that my missus is not in the slightest bit 'Indian (ish)'! I forgave her for that a long time ago though! hehe!
