Hey Guys,

I just wanna share with you my tank since the last time I've had and it hopefully update it week by week.

Chrisinator · 09-20-2009, 07:51 PM

Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out where to plant the A. Reinekkis.

Really nice tank. Its rare to see anyone on this forum using lavarock. You probably already noticed, but the gudgeons love to wedge themselves into tight spaces, so if you made some little crevices in the rockwork, they may spawn in there.

Im surprised your gudgeon is okay with the RCS. Mine completely devoured all the shrimp I added to their tank. Not a pleasant experience.

Chrisinator · 09-21-2009, 12:23 AM

Thanks! I got the lava rocks actually from someone in this forum and I've liked it ever since. There's tons of crevices between the rocks, but right now, I only have 1 peacock gudgeon, so, can't breed them yet.

I think she ate the smaller RCS, but I have two left over. Hopefully, they'll be ok.

Chrisinator · 09-21-2009, 12:49 AM

Here are a couple more pics from a few days back.

**fastfreddie** · 09-21-2009, 01:52 AM

Sick tank and pics! Man those close up shots are awesome!

Chrisinator · 09-21-2009, 01:54 AM

Thanks! I really appreciate it!

**ZooTycoonMaster** · 09-21-2009, 05:06 AM

Dang Chris those RCS are super red! But if both of them are really red that probably means you have 2 females, and they can't/won't breed

Chrisinator · 09-22-2009, 12:28 AM

yeah , i know, it sucks

Hopefuly I can get moree

Don't know how much truth there is to this statement but I've heard lava rock is Nitrate heaven due to all of the crevices and pits. If you seem to be having trouble reducing your Nitrates with water changes the lava rock could be the culprit. Anyways, nice tank!

JakeJ · 09-25-2009, 07:20 PM

Very cool tank and fish!!! Really like the lava rock.

zerojoe0917 · 09-26-2009, 06:37 AM

nice tank!! i was wondering what camera are you using?!

Chrisinator · 09-26-2009, 09:24 PM

The camera I'm using is Canon Powershot G2. It's actually only 4mp.

I've never had nitrates problems.

Im gonna be getting 2 new Peacock Gudgeons today.
