haha ^ the babies are going to pay for some rays than after that I will be concentrating on my 6x2x2 marine tank build

I think I will sort out my lots tomorrow

im doing 50 a day which I think is fine as im over feeding already and I don't see any nitrates so should be good

im not going to do my lot till last min as I not 100 percent the bass will be at size as I thought auction would of been dec

some update vids of babies getting fed (taken about 2-3 weeks ago will take updated vid soon)



slow motion of my 50cm male eating make sure watch whole vid

oooo time to sort out what to put in hopefully my pbass babies will be at size to sell

ok so far resealed sump and only had time to put in 2 panels. Also i discovered a little crack so i did a little patch up. it's looking good. Haven't cleaned off access silicone yet.

OBSOLUTLY NOTHING WRONG WITH HYBRID AFRICANS! Try tell my peacock bass that there shit, he loves them lol. its the worse thing about Africans they cross breed like there meant too, prob one of the reasons why I have never bred africans as its so hard to tell at 3cm what they are. even if there a odd colour from the batch you don't know till they get a bit bigger.

Sorry tpok a while to reply mate pm me details
Sorry guys took a while to get started but here we are lol. I have striped the silicone from the future sump, and cut the dividers for it

Hey guys, I have been in the Freshwater game a little while now, but I think its time to put my foot in the door of marine just starting to build up a collection of things for a Marine tank. list of things I have and need to get so far

 

What I have (pictures below)

6x2x2 tank as the marine display (has large overhead where I have mounted some LED Lights)

2 120w Led Light units (has moonlight features etc rated for marine)

Hailea Chiller

Shit load of Base Rock

standed 4 ft tank (to build into sump)

 

at the moment just collecting second hand gear to finish. if anyone has any decent wave makers, pumps, skimmer etc up for sale or laying around let me know

 

Ok, im looking into now is building the sump out of the 4ft tank, got me stumped there so many designs on google, be awesome to see other peoples designs and what works let me know on designs please more pics the better.

 

And yes the tank is fresh water atm, I did buy it to become marine but I hate to see a empty tank sitting there lol so just temp random stuff in there atm.

 

 

 

 

love this tank. Next thing is to try add a few plants

hows it going with the peppering, being a melon and a turq you would have some heavy peppering and not recommending for continuing breeding the pair, but of course we all have to do it on a first batch congratz hopefully we may see some more from on of the other pairs in the tank

Nice guys I only got couple pieces of drift wood and a pair of long fin L144s, be keen to get some more, awesome quality. next auction im going to try my luck and put some lots in, im thinking Peacock bass babies  

Hey guys It def been my week, as on post below my Pbass have spawned again, now amazingly in my community tank I have always had discus laying but my Large 18cm turq layed with my 15cm wild blue discus Def something worth putting in there own tank. its been just over 2 days, still getting guarded which is a huge shock since discus take at least 10 tries to get it right as they have to learn what there doing. Today I had a look and there fertile few white ones but most are fertile!! yay see what happens, hopefully I might see wrigglers tomorrow or next day before they get eaten, than into there own tank (anyone have any cheap breeding cones give me a shout)

 

Heres some pics

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks guys, going to be a busy couple of weeks, got the pbass fry spawn to try look after and lucky me had my 18cm Turq and 15cm Wild discus lay some eggs so hopefully get lucky there as well so more breeding tanks to set up lol. also with this food im trying it was Australian research and they estimated 90 precent success rate so see how it goes
