PICS! 105 custom tall: aquabee's exit from the world of nanos

Here we go. Note the color difference between that last vid and this one. At least now I know the gender of these 2!

hi Bee, my angels act the same but they have not killed anyone yet. they are a breeding couple. spawned once and ate the eggs.

[aquabee]

Your angels were quite young and tank bred, right? Adult wild male angels are pretty aggressive.

[R_sustaita]

Yeah mine are pretty young, i have had them for 3.5 months plus what ever holding time the breeder had them. But they do get like the ones on your video.

Bee, do you have a wet/dry on this tank?

What's the total fish count? Tank temp?

The geos in the video seem like they breathing a bit hard. Maybe it's just me....

She has a 2260

Models 2260, 2262



BIG TANKS, BIG FISH NEED BIG FILTERS!



These classic external canister filters have been proven models for large aquarium sizes up to a volume of 500 US Gal for years. Equipped with large canister volumes and strong pumps, large aquariums are filtered efficiently. Both models are equipped with a practical drain tap in the bottom of the canister for easier use.

I noticed that too. But they are so active and they dig and fight and eat well that I thought maybe that's how they are. No wet/dry as yet, but I have plans for one. It's running a 2260. There are 5 geos, 5 small silver dollars, 11 roselines, and 6 sterbais. Total 27 fish in a 105. No one else breathes weird.

Could it be stress from recovering from infection? Could it be the copper safe or ich attack? Temp is 82. Params are good, ph 7.2, ammo 0, nitrite 0, nitrate about 5-10 ppm of that.

I noticed that when I started dosing my nano with Kordon's organic ich attack, the fish started dropping like flies... even the CPD's that had no signs of ich on their bodies. Wonder if that has anything to do with it.

As far as aeration, my 2260 return causes quite a bit of agitation and I have an entire bubble wall moving water from bottom to top and agitating the surface too.

Thoughts? I'm not sure why one or two of my geos looked that way in terms of breathing. The pair and the smallest one look fine so I was thinking it was stress from them not having territories settled yet.

You should be ok with the bubble maker. From my personal experience surface agitation doesn't do as muh as surface breakage for gas exchange and oxygenation.

At one point, I had over 100 tropheus and Petros in my 125g with no issues. None of the fish seem to breath hard at all. I have a wet/dry rated for a 200g and 2 x 2260.

My 375g has 4 x eheim 2262 and about 60-70 Petros. They always seem to breath harder then fishes in my other tanks. I since moved my thumbers to this tank to run my bubble maker in conjunction. The fish seems to be breathing less hard but still not as easily as my other tanks.

Like your tank, I've noticed some fishes breathing hard after a short chase, feeding, fighting, etc. But it appears the fish recovers faster with normal breathing rates in my tanks with wet/drys.

Not all too sure if you actually need one. Just reporting from my personal experience. :)

4' bubble wall FTW!

Her tank has glass euro braces. It will take some mods to get a OF box on there.

That's why I don't have a wet/dry on it yet.

[myjohnson]

Is it drilled?

[eklikewhoa]

I'm sure if it was it would have a wet/dry on it... just saying.

This thread needs updated pics! or a vid!


MOAR PIC AND VIDS!

[myjohnson]

For real!

Bee should know better by now. :)

HFB rule #82: If you are going to have a tank journal thread then each page should have at least one picture or video. Some of us don't read posts and only lurk for pictures.

I like pictures.
