I finally had a little bit of time to get some things organised in the fish room.

Not as many tanks as my last set up but, Maybe more in the future.

Thanks bud, Thinking I might move the IBC out and replace with another rack in the future.

And possibly replace the 3ft tank rack with a 3 tier one and get another 3 3ft'ers.

 

Hahaha Yea REAL guard dogs, More like get in the bloody way and beg to get fed Fish food!
Oh and the best one is if I leave the door open and go in the house, I'm guaranteed to find something on the lawn the Rotti has stolen from the fish room.

 

Nothing much at the moment.

Pseudotropheus livingstoni

Labidiochromis sp. 'perlmutt'

Aulonocara maulana "Bi-Color 500"

Amatitlania nigrofasciata

Cyphotilapia frontosa

Sciaenochromis fryeri

Ancistrus sp. (Common and Albino)

 

But its just random spawning, Not really concentrating on them until I get everything organised properly.

Nice work mate. Christyi look like they are growing fast.

 

I think every dog I've ever seen loves getting into fish food. Mine used to wait for me to feed the fish at the off chance I'd drop a pellet.

Thanks, Hahaha I can be  little "anal" when it comes to my fish room.

 

 

I grabbed some N.venustus tonight. As soon as I put them in the tank the started showing signs of breeding.

 

 

 

 

 

I then looked up to the tank above and the fish seemed really skitish!

I'd left the heater unplugged since Saturday........... Didnt loose any thankfully.

I also replaced the room light so it recreated moon light as the room light is on a timer until 8pm.
