Black water turned Regular water(blue angles, apistos, L168)

Unread post by jack »

Hello Every one,

The Rams

After looking at bmukhs black water biotope and the angles(very inspiring), i was really bitten with the angles and asked my LFS guy to get some good quality angles, and to my surprise he said he is he is expecting some good angles that night. The next day i went to the shop. Not really meet my expectation but was good enough to suite my tank. so booked all the 8 nos he had. 2 days later he called me that all are set and been eating well soo i went there and picked them up. To my surprise they all were happy in my tank and with 30 mins of their release in my tank they all were eating like buggers. i dropped in few ADA Brine shrimps chips and all were happy, they eat like 2-3 times a day, get water change of 20% every second day and growing very good. They are feed ADA's brine shrimp, spiriluna, garlic, ADA Gold, Hikari Bio Gold Discus, Blood worms and once or twice a week live worms(depending on availability)

I know not the excellent quality angles but decent quality not usually found in lfs.

comment and critique, on the tank, the angles and the clicks :)

keep a microworm culture ready, jack, in case the rams lay eggs again. the fry need them. if u get fry, u can raise them for a month and then sell to your friends (Starting me!) :mrgreen: NAturally, u can keep a few u like from each spawn. it is fun to breed ramirezi, they are such heavenly parents once they like a tank.

Jack:
The tank looks nice buddy. Blackwater has its own charm and your Angels look excellent. Be careful with the Neons though as soon they might start disappearing.
How big is the tank? Btw, you can put some floating plants ( I have put some water lettuce currently).
