I think his temp is money... I keep mine at 80-82.

Ok, when I look a little closer I can see some red colored tetras and clear shrimp. I've got a book somewhere with some amazing planted tanks. My favorite ones housed small schools of cardinals - the contrast was incredible. You did a really good job Pro, I'd say these are "book worthy".

It looks like you have 4 planted tanks and only 1 betta. I dont see any inverts or fish in the other tanks... Is there a reason for this?

Thats a pretty unique pose. I didnt even know we had those in NC until a few days ago and I saw one chillin on my sons power wheels truck. Good pics....

I would rather pour battery acid in my eyes than read through this thread again. It's like bunch of rapists cheering at a feminist rally. Memo to everyone in here, your all part of the problem. Dont get me wrong, I'm all for living the American dream and putting whatever you want in the...

I'd use a blade and scrape the rock where it was at for any remaining base material.

As long as you dont get straight up wall art and it actually means something, then great. Theres nothing worse than the idots running around the beach with tribal crap and chinese writing.... Its about self expression right? Whats with all the lame tats lacking any sort of creativity or...

I think the tank may be a little small for the bangaii, they like caves too and you wont be providing that in a frag tank.

The pics are classic, that thing is huge! With a tank that big what kind of support equipment are you looking at doing? I cant even imagine having to do water changes, but with the volume your gonna have I guess you wouldnt have to do it very often.

What I wanna see is a size comparison with someone standing by the tank...

I support your decision to get his ears cropped... I think people play up that issue way too much. We do it to little boys across the country daily yet people get upset when you crop ears and tails.

Originally Posted by ClownFiSH11 wait if you dont have any LR in that tank is there a reason for cycleing or will it even cycle? Yeah it will cycle... Bacteria live on everything not just LR. Notice the sand in the tank? The only issue he may have doing it before putting in the LR would be...

You should just leave these guys alone... If they just settled into the tank they probably arent breeding. Make sure food gets near their hole, if they're hungry they will eat it. Sounds like you have a varied enough menu that they will eventually take something. Other than that all you can...

Yeah big claw/little claw means predator right?
