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

[aquabee]

Wow, I see Bee picking up her photo game!

No demand for pictures needed. )

A few days offa work can do wonders!

How did I miss 63 pages of this thread? I just went through most of it (predicted geos and angels!), love the set-up (it's what I hoped my smaller set-up was intended to look like). . . too bad the intended stock didn't work (I saw those angels at FG).

After reading through everything, it sure has been a rough tank for you, but I think it'll be worth it when it's all said and done (if it isn't worth it already).

Thanks Tony. I was thinking of you when all the disasters were goin on cuz I know you've had your fair share of 'em. The tank is finally becoming worth it (even though it's still brown and medicated and doesn't have any plants in it). Those geos are gorgeous and somehow made it through all the crap. They're cute as hell too, digging and fighting all day, and the pair snuggles sometimes too. Lol!

[aquabee]

Cause 60 of it didn't have pictures?

****? hehehehehe

A tank thread isn't only for pics! Sometimes you just need advice. Or to vent. Whatever. I learn a lot from reading tank threads but sometimes I also just scroll through for pics.

Excuses excuses. Reminder! The first word in this thread title is "PICS!"

So should I take down all the vids just cuz the title doesn't say "VIDS!" ?

Your tank is too nice not to share.

still medicating?

still medicating?

Well I added Copper Safe April 1st or so, and I've just been letting that marinate in there. I think I can probably do a good sized water change soon but I want to be sure everything I don't want to be alive in there is dead!! Oh and the water's brown from when I was dosing Ich Attack, and because of the peat. Had to pull out the Purigen while medicating.

The tank will definitely be worth. I've had Gymnogeophagus balzanii in the past. I really liked them. . . but my favorite is Bujurquina vittata. Not quite Geophagus, but I think they're closely related. Definitely the fish I'd like to get back. . . actually, now I'm mad because I don't have them.

Actually, I wonder how Gymnos would do in an outdoor pond. Anyone know? They need a 3-4 month cooling period.

[sunkenmetal]

I am sure your fish will be fine...

[aquabee]

I am sure your fish will be fine...

Thanks. They're doin ok so far so I have high hopes too. :)

[sunkenmetal]

You worry to much

Wow, those both look really cool! You got an outdoor pond Tony? You would hardly be able to see your gymnos though!

If I didn't I'd get sued for medical negligence. Professional hazard.

No, but I'm hoping that I will have one at some point. . . with a window in it.
