#321730 Albino Greshakei

Posted by brenno71 on 20 July 2014 - 10:54 AM

Hey guys here is a couple of photo's of my albino greshakei's i have a colony of 3f 1m and recently pick up 3 juviniles I am just wondering how many of these there are around as ive only seen one other person with these fish who sold the colony over east. In my display the females held hybrids so i put the colony in an 80lt tank they have been in there for 2 months with no success im wndering if the tank is a little to small.

Hey guys sorry i haven't posted any photos lately the next part f the build was lifting the tank on the cabinet YAY IT FITS!!! notice i haven't put the top bracings in yet so i can get the background in. This made life alot easier than having the background in more than one piece.

so once the background was made to the shape i wanted i then use quick create and oxide coloring and made a sloppy mix up then paint the backgound several times. I then used a clear pond sealer and a spray gun to seal the whole things.

 

In the center of the background is a sandfall i built in the center of the background i made it with perspex made a rectangle tube and an angled piece at the bottom so the gravel keeps flowing back in and the airstone keeps a vacuum going i did a basic diagram but my biggest regret with this build is not taking more photos :( so im doing my best with the photos i do have.
