Well I finally got to borrow a camera. There still not the best pics but better then nothing. Theres just a few shots of my favorite fish my gold rams, my newest purchase a albino dwarf bristlenose pleco and finally a full tank shot. The tank is now at 6 months since being setup.

Ohh and I know the aquascape isnt the best...the tank changes so much I really cant ever get a decent scape down so I just keep it random. I just grown plants lol Thanks for looking

im falling in love with rams and apisto's. I have been teetering between the two. But seeing pictures of all these beautiful rams latley really makes me feel like I want rams, but on the other hand red agassazi's are beautiful to.

Peace,
Ry

I read an artical stating the clams can live for 7 years + under good condition. Heres a pics.

You can find them pretty cheap on aquabid.

My clam definatly didnt live for 7 years hes already passed on. He lasted well over a year though in my tanks. I dont know exactly how old he was when i got him though.

Right now the livestock has changed since I first setup. I have lots of fish but their all pretty small

10 rummynose tetras
2 gold rams
5 pygmy cories
1 paleatus cory
3 oto's
2 dwarf neon rainbows
2 cardnials (survivors from a school of 10 i bought 3 years ago

)
1 albino dwarf bristelnose
3 amano shrimp

its a little overstocked but everyone is healthy and no one seems streesed and no fighting either. everyone gets along so well it makes for a playfull tank.

Tank looks really good

I'm loving the gold rams, nice color!

GraFFix · 02-13-2006, 07:34 PM

I love the rams also...I had 3 but 1 didnt make it and I havent been able to find another even close to what these look like at the LFS's

One on the left is Pogostemon helferi. One on the right looks like an Eriocaulon sp.
