Title: bought some new fish today
Post by: sunshineband on August 29, 2011, 18:25
We have three tropical tanks, which have slowly become depleted of fish and very overgrown with plants.

After a good thin out and partial water change , we went and bought

Tank 1: 2 small pepper corydoras, and pair of bristle nose cat fish (only about 1.5 ins long at the moment), 3 congo tetras and 6 red pencil fish

Tank 2: (which has in it 4 giant danios, a pair of golden gouramis about 4 ins long and small plec species) just a young pair of bristle nose catfish

Very exciting and we keep having to look at the bristle noses scrambling up and down the glass  :lol: :lol: :lol:

Has anyone ever had bristle noses breed in their tanks? We are hoping they will, as the babies are very cute  :)

Tank 3: a pair of young three spot gouramis, 3 small pepper corys

Lovely sunny!  :) I miss the entertainment of watching the ecosystem in a fish tank.

Bristlenose cat's, a pair you say ? or 40,000 ?

They breed, breed & breed. Started with 4, lost one, had one pair, 2 tank fulls later & many given to the fish shop later.

Still got loads of albino's to rehouse !  :D

Well that's something to look forward to --- sharing bristle noses rather than courgettes  :lol: :lol:

If it all gets too much we shall just have to have two single sex pairs instead  :tongue2:
