  • New fish from Obed!

    Yesterday I stopped at Obed's on my way back up here from visiting my parents in Baytown. He has a nice operation, and I came home with 6 new angels!

    Very nice!  :)  Where will they be residing? With the others? Or in a new setup? The zebra lace are beautiful! (Kudos to Obed, too!)

      Right now they're in a 55 gallon in the garage. They were supposed to reside there, but now Allen's really pushing for them to be inside.   He really likes the zebras! I might do some fish-shifting once they've been here awhile. Or maybe I can convice him we really do need either another 46 bowfront for inside...or a bigger one, ya know, like a 72.

        sounds like you have him headed in the right direction. You will make an angelfish hobbiest out of him yet.

            If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for them?  and how big were they?

            Thanks

              Your new babies are beautiful, and the koi's will look even better in a few weeks, once the white becomes less transparent. Obed has some really nice angels!

                I expect the koi to color up soon, those pictures are from about 14 hours after I got them home, so they're still showing stress in their colors. I'll post another pic here in a week and we can look at the difference.

                    those look really good!

                    looks like your tank might have went into a mini-cycle with the new fish load.

                      Thank you!

                      Well nothing read, and they had a cycled filter on the tank that had been used with a fish load that is pretty much identical... My thoughts are that it was the other type of bacteria bloom (not the nitrifying bacteria) but at the moment I can't remember what it's called. Most ppl associate the milky/cloudy water with the nitrogen cycle because they happen at the same time, but the nitrogen cycle doesn't create cloudy water. Like I said there, the water stayed perfect the entire time, and the fish were just fine, so I don't think it mini-cycled. The filter was well established which is the final reason I don't think it went thru a nitrogen cycle, if I could only remember what the other 'cycle' is...
