Keeping Tropheus in a pond.

[danielp]

I'm in no rush. Really don't have any room right now.

I'm the one who purchased your daffodil colony. There looking good. The pair is digging and I'm expecting babies any time now.

I thought it might be you, I just wasn't sure if users last name started with the letter p "danielp". Just give me a call whenever you are ready.

I am surprised that the daffodils have not already started breeding. My brichardi "fire tips" are breeding. There are some fry in the tank from three clutches right now.

John, if you did a pond and installed the plexiglass, how would you install it so that you could see the viewing window?

The log in is a nick name i got tagged with years ago.

This weekend is out because of holiday activities.

Later on this week I'll PM you me cell number if you didn't keep it. Let me know when your ready.

Anytime next weekend is open.

I think they laid eggs last month but is was near my eheim return. I noticed them digging again in the same area so I moved the return and their clay pot further apart.

No issues other than viewing them. Not quite as nice as in a tank. Watch your waterbill...

sorry about high jackin this thread. Just called Regal plastic. Got a fabricator on the phone.for the window he said to use polycarbonate for impact resistance. For adhesive he said a a siliconized multipurpose called E6000. He said it will work just fine. he also said they can cut it and have you out of there in 10 minutes.

algarciajr- to answer your question yea you can keep them outside. they will love it. leave a lite on above the pond till 10pm and they will feast on bugs. you are right to bring them in when it starts to cool because the electric bill is killer.

Ponds are great for grow outs. Like above you can't view them too much but from above. I was thinking about installing a window to view, but that will be a few months away

We also have regal plastics over here. The guy over here is great to work with, he can fabricate anything.

They don't do tanks any more over here because of the insurance issue.

Not sure about over there

I've got a pond (Lowe's style) that's about 100 gallons with a deep center if your interested.

Will give it to you for future consideration on some trophs.

I'm in Friendswood and you would need a truck.

Let me know.

Dan,

Thank you for dropping of the pond, I hope to have it setup with some kachese fry very soon. I just need to do a little planning on how to set it up since I plan on doing it above ground.

Looks like an interesting project. Keep us posted on the project. After you get it running I'll stop by to check it out.
