?$? Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Wise1 get on craigslist and check for tanks. Theres crazy deals in there, also see if you have underground auctions from aquaruim society clubs. Go big..............go natural as possible. Its a great thing to get into. I have been maintaining tanks for about ten years. I have worked at the Steinheart aquaruim, nippons, and the marine science institute. If you need any advise just let me know. I have never posted pics on here but, maybe this weekend? :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The-WiseOne Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 ok update time, thanks for the comments i bought the following today SEMI AGGRESIVE TANK: -6 tiger barbs -2 dwar puffers ( they kick ass) COMMUNITY TANK: -2 guarmis -2 platy's (male and female = baby's) -2 guppies (male and female= babys) ok here are some updated pics... here is tobey just chillin on the driftwood here is speedy, lucky to get a pick while he was searching for flakes good ol' small tiger barbs, wanna raise em' up to be champs, they are already kinda fighting eachother though, chasing and headbutting, plus nibling, but there is six of them, so hopefully that is enough to keep them occupied from the two puffers... here are my guarmi's... they are pretty nice colored and my two favorite additions are my puffers, they are sooo kick ass, love em alot, although i have a male and a female, the male is just chilling on the bottom, doing nothing most of the time looking dead, i read that your tank should be completely cycled before adding these fellows or else it can kill them...... so hopefully they will be ok.

The-WiseOne Posted August 2, 2005 Author Share Posted August 2, 2005 heheh as i type my little female puffer is trying to take on tobey, tobey is a huge snail and will only get bigger, he is probably 4X-6X the size of the puffer fish.... but i dont know i heard the puffers can do some mean stuff and take down fish 5X their size ;) i plan on buying a 10 gal. tank tomorow and setting it up for a cycle with biospira, which automaticaly does the cycle as soon as it is mixed with the water, and i plan on having a tank full of DP's dwarf puffers, and i want to have them breed, and make fry, whom which i will by another tank for..... since they are eazy to take care of it should be a blast, tomorow i plan on spending another few hundred dollars on some more stuff including a breeding snail tank to feed my puffers.... but for now here are my eye gazing tanks, so beuatiful in the dark.. :drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAGS156 Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 hey not sure if im the only one, but i own a few, right now im setting up a 20 gallon just got yesterday, bought the starter kit only 80$ did that include the tank or not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fondles Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 that shit does look rad in the dark. but you should put the tanks in different spots, not next to each other. it'll give the room/house more character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post [/b] yeah i was really lookin into them, i was about to buy two of em', the green spotted, and the figure 8, yeah i almost bought them, but they are expensive online, like about 8 bucks a piece, but 30 bucks to ship.... so its 50$ just for two of em', so i will get them in the future, but not now, becuase they are brackish, which means they can grow up in freshwater, but they will need slightly salted water when their older, did you have yours in tropical water??

?$? Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Man no offense but, your tanks are very artifical lookin first of all. Second your fish are not agressive. Check cichlidforum.com. It's kool if you a just starting and are in to the hole guppy and barb things. The real show tanks are about the natural aquascapeing. Which means everything from the gravel/sand, rocks, driftwood, boulders, food diet, background, lighting, to the species in the comunity of the tank. I hope I did not shit on your parade but those castles, fake plants, and colored gravel just ...................are generic and gay. I really am not trying to call you out. I think you should read up on the lakes, rivers, and oceans that are available for export. There is a so much kool shit out there that most " pet shops" sleep on. Good luck on the tanks and education that comes with it. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck on the tanks and education that comes with it. ;) Quoted post no its cool you aint haitin or anything, but im just waiting till i get a bigger and better tank, then i will hit the aquascape scene, i have been studying about it for a little while and i have already ordered stuff online, that 25 gallon will soon be all planted (real plants) with semi-aggressive fish (red tails, clown loach's..) but the real fun will start tomorow im gonna practice the aquascape on my lil' 10 gallon tank i just got today for my puffers ( i breed puffers love em' a ton) by making everything all natural, no colored or any fake shit like that, all natural, it will be stocked with 3 puffers... natural rock, live plants including (micro sword, java fern, java moss, amazon sword, breeding grass hair grass, ect. ) and i will work on it for a while, im hookin it up with 50 watts.... so that is 5 watts per gallon, perfect for plants, might even upgrade it to a 50 gallon tank add some CO2 and get som cichilds....maybe some oscars midas's.... densleys and of course some convicts..... but not sure what is happening now, the 20 and 25 gallon tanks were just to start out, im kinda hating my community tank, its boring, i might just dump the fish and start over..... thanks for the heads up and you have any links to some aquascaping sites??........i might look into making my own styrophome backround, been reading about that, and it looks pretty awesome, plus you get to put your own talent and art skills into em'..... if your gonna buy a tank, go as big as you can start out with a 30 gallon atleast, if you dont its just wasting money, your tanks will soon build up (i have bought three in the past month)... and that builds up money also....
