Sweet! Looks like T's are becoming cool again... Been quite a bit of interest in them lately.

Beautiful fish Brenno!

Whats the obsession with 'holey' rock? Its expensive and I find it difficult to work with because of it often jagged shape. Plenty of 'free' interesting limestone lying around Perth. Nice fish though.

[Mattymak]

Not jagged if you get the real texas holey rock, not holey limestone...

[Dr Cucumber]

The real stuff is even more expensive :-) I find it hard to pay big money for 'rocks'. Just my opinion though.

[malawiman85]

I much prefer granite to limestone aesthetically but limestone is a good asset in a tang tank. I'm with you Cucumberman Holy rock doesnt really do it for me!!! Pretty jealous about all those T's though!!!

[Mattymak]

Yeah but if you get it, it looks amazing... Better than just random broken bits of limestone piled up... I agree paying money for rocks sucks but hey, if you want to have it, you get it

[malawiman85]

Sorry... Dr Cucumber... You didnt spend all that money on your education to be called Cucumberman, right? 

 

Sorry i'm bored.

[Dr Cucumber]

No, because my education was paid for by you I.e. the tax payer ;-)

Yes... You're welcome.

[brenno71]

Thanks guys only reason I wanted Texas holy rock was because I was told tropheus love it. I got them off a friend who only had them a short period of time unsure where he got them they are unconfirmed f1 but im not phased on generations.

also got a colony of f1 kalambo juvies coming soon and some lufubu in the very distant future.

I will just stick to my free limestone I think

[MattyB]

These where originally my colony but I got them from a guy that brought all 40 of them when they were all 3cm, he had been hiding them away for ages until I found them and he sold them all to me  there about 10-12cm so a decent size

They're nice looking T's don't see them around much.
