Just an update

Happy Monday guys and girls

so just an update of my tank and more odd looking fish


this is my Banjo Catfish My Bulldog Pleco

 

sorry about the quality of the pics....

 

@Quue - Nice. Is the first fish an endler?

 

hey dude nice tank

i like the little rock cave thingy

gonna look even better once the plants grow in a bit more

 

@MarcHawke - the guppy? Naaa its a Juvenile... have 4 males like that in the tank just cant wait for them to mature...
and @mydummyname thanks hey just need to be patient which isnt one of my strong suits....

 

i understand, and i've been there! lol

 

i feel blind... @MarcHawke yea it is very sorry about the useless reply earlier... shouldnt be on here when im half asleep hahaha

 

@Quue - No worries. I know the feeling. I thought it was an endler or an endler hybrid. :bigsmile:

 

stunning i must admit but i got them by flook... went to a dodgy FS in Alberton and the guy and these guy in the guppy thank and i asked the price and he just gave about 8 of them to me... the very last males "4"and prob female guppys but cant wait till they get a little bigger

 

Hey Quue, Looks good man. I like the Banjo Cat! Just love them.

 

Sideline question but whereabouts in Alberton. I grew up in Brackenhurst/Brackendowns and left JHB in 1994. There was an Aquarium shop at the "Bowling Alley/Spar centre". Is it still there?

 

@MarcHawke to be honest dude i dont know hey... was on my way to Dinwiddy south and got lost and stumbled across a really run down pet store...

 

Thnks @SloMo.00. he is very odd and i think that was my moderation to get him

 

Jip they are Oddballs. Hides mostly though. So if you add caves and so on, you won't see him that often. Very interesting catfish none the less.

 

lol only a fishkeeper can be lost yet still find a pet store. hehe what is it like a built in homing device we have????

 

i think so @mydummyname its the oddest thing when you lost and late for a meeting and choose to just stop in for a quick squiz and leave 30mins later with fish and plants... my boss is also a fish nutter but marine... so when the phone call came "where are you?"and i reply "got a tad lost but found a fish store"the convo changes to where and what do they have hahahahaha

 

i think you have a dream job, coz you have this kind of support at work too! hehe

 

Thats brilliant. LOL :laugh:

 

@Quue, Just some info and advice...

The male Guppy that is in the first pic is in fact an Endler Guppy male and they won't get much bigger than that. Awesome find by the way...

The grasses that you have planted look more like Mondo Grass and is actually not even an aquatic plant, sorry. It also looks like you have managed to find some Anubias, they are the more spade shaped leaf plants and they should not be planted into the substrate but rather attached to either rocks or wood so that the rhizome does not rot. It also looks like you have picked up a Java Fern, behind the rock on the rhs and that too should be attached to either rocks or wood so that the rhizome does not rot.

Love the Banjo Cat, I think that they are just so stunning, but they tend to hide away a lot and only really come out at night. LOVE the Bulldog Pleco! I think that they are just so stunning with their big mouths. Keep an eye on him though, I remember that some people have said that they are a little more sensative than normal plecos.

Stunning looking tank. I like the simplicity of the scape, keep us updated of your progress.

Just my 2c worth....

 

just a nicer pic of the tank... had to go home to take this pic hahaha



put the PVC pipe in just for hiding purposes
