How long before the cherry shrimp are big enough for the barbi? :bite:



The girl's coming along. (deep foot prints she's walking in) ;)

Noah 12-17-2011 01:44 AM

Thats as big as they get *LOL* You'd need a few for a feed!

Nika isnt Scoob thats for sure. She has learnt one of his habits and when she does it i still expect to turn around and see my old Oobert!!

Oldfart 12-17-2011 03:25 AM

Noah, are the cherries fresh or salt?

Are they alone in the tank?

Noah 12-17-2011 04:40 AM

They are freshwater.

They reside with some juvie peppermint bristlenose, other than the BN it is just them :D

dicksbro 12-17-2011 05:22 AM

Great pictures ... tell Nika she's a great model. :thumbs:

Lord Snow 12-17-2011 09:28 AM

With that many shrimp it'll be one hell of a clean tank. My mom and I always kept a couple of small catfish and some ghost shrimp in our tank to help keep it clean.

gekkogecko 12-17-2011 11:10 AM

Ooooh, the shrimp are so cute!

Noah 01-02-2012 06:28 AM

Noah 01-03-2012 03:37 AM

Meet D'Artagnan

D'Artagnan is in da house!!









He has settled into his new home beautifully, busy exploring and hunting cherry shrimp lol

Lilith 01-03-2012 08:54 AM

We had a beta about that color once. He's very handsome.

Lord Snow 01-03-2012 06:40 PM

D'Artagnan? No Athos, Porthos, or Aramis?

Fangtasia 01-04-2012 03:39 AM

Thanx :D

They dont play well woth others of their own kind

Oldfart 01-04-2012 05:20 AM

They do so, but only after they've killed them.

gekkogecko 01-04-2012 10:27 AM

Noah;

Just means you'll have to set up separate homes for all four musketeers.

Noah 01-04-2012 06:10 PM

This is true OF *L*

He is flaring at his reflection, so yep 'cause he's so pretty

Separate homes? - errrrrr nope *L*

Oldfart 01-04-2012 07:32 PM

I have seen them in bottles, grown too large to come out the neck. A bit like a ship in a bottle.

More patience than I have.

My current animal interactions are shooting at cane toads with my slug gun.

Lord Snow 01-21-2012 09:46 AM

What's a cane toad and what's a slug gun? Is it like shooting bull frogs with a pellet rifle?

Fangtasia 01-21-2012 04:59 PM

Yes i would say its the same LS :)

Does the habit involve duck feathers? :confused:

Did they move to the RIGHT side of the tank because they know where EVERYTHING should travel? :confused:

:car:

Cane Toads are vermin imported into Australia in a misguided effort to combat some pests in the sugar-cane fields of Queensland. Think of the Simpsons episode where Bart smuggled his pet into Australia and it turned into gazillions.

A slug gun's a .177 in air rifle which shoots hourglass shaped pellets. It is not a BB gun.

Bullfrogs are native (to you) ugly things. Cane toads are toxic monsters.

Lord Snow 01-21-2012 09:24 PM

A pellet rifle shoots .177 hourglass pellets. A bb rifle shoots .177 round copper bbs. Thank you for clearing up the cane toad thing though.

PantyFanatic 01-21-2012 10:48 PM

I only know them as 'pellet' guns. I'll have to introduce two younger generations to "SLUG" gun. :)

2ft goldie tank (with my DIY background)

That is a really neat background. What is it made of and how did you do it? :confused:

Noah 01-22-2012 02:26 AM

The background is made of styrofoam (from foam boxes), foam is ripped, cut into basic shape, then melted to get more realistic shapes, its then covered in a render layer, then covered in 2 coloured render (brown) layers, then other coloured cement oxide colours are mixied with water and blended in to make it more real looking. Then it is coated in 4 layers of pond sealer.

It is not exactly as it should have worked out, sealer went slightly white. But it is still inert and i actually dont mind the look.

I will be making some more soon, i'm going to try sealing with epoxy (danged expensive!)

Noah 03-10-2012 07:00 AM
