yes this is just the start il be adding some new fish which il be talking about with you guys shortly once the tanks nearly cyeled. Il be posting up shortly pics and fish im interested in . Catfish and ofcourse livebearers
okay guys a small update on how my tank cycling is going. Im up to day 4 and with guppy a heap of guppy fry and overfeeding ive seen a slight bump in ammonia. Id say now by my test i had just done its at .15 - 25ppm. Il give it a couple days and il start adding prime to keep the fish safe throughout this cycle. Also il be getting my aquazonic light 39x 4 within the next month. Then il start planting
just snother small update i have purchased some catfish they will be derliverd today they are
albino bristlenose 6x
common bristlenose 4x
they are only babys at around 5cm each. Fully grown 10 to 15cm :)
Im getting them for $3 dollars each which is a great price.
Now,
.
lets talk livebearers
what other livebearers do you guys reccomend for a nice colourful community tank? I want a nice mix of different variety. I want a nice busy tsnj eith fish schooling
i have these in mind
cardinal tetra
swordtail
platy
what do you guys think? i may also selective breed these down the track. I will be getting more tanks to instsll down the bottom of my 6ft to selextive breed :)
There's several different species of each of the ones I mentioned. Also I'd try not to over feed as your tank is still cycling,and your fish may not take too well to increase of ammonia. They might get ammonia burn and die.
As far as livebearers go... I am more drawn to the Goodeids as many are exctinct in the wild and there is a good chance that your efforts will actually be noticed for keeping and assisting the species. Look over the Zoogoneticus tequila and Limia Nigrofasciatus, they are both stunning in their uniqueness. Some of the Montezuma swords are awesome and sizey.
Cardinals are a staple, but like very warm waters. Some standby tetras that are overlooked can be impressive in large tanks. Diamond tera or even glo-lites in a large school are impressive when they reach full size.
Dwarf Gourami's are a bit finicky, but Honey Gouramis are far more robust and a good alternative.
Psuedomugils are a native there and would look great and be a decent addition. Sawfish and aussie lungfish are too cool for words, so if you need to get rid of any feel free! lol
Looking forward to hearing how it all shapes up
