125 Gal. B-day Present: 11/10 new fish and rescape (56k)

Thanks Coltonorr and Phil.
I only got started with angels because my wife really liked them back when I just started with aquariums. I really like them. I think it is too bad that they seem to be left out as a fish choice in most people's tanks on here. Most people dream of having a nice discus tank, myself included, but don't give angels the time of day.

My golds all come from a pair of gold veils that I have had for about a year and a half. It was fun to raise them, but I haven't kept any fry since this batch I have the young adults from. Right now out of these younger angels there is one that is looking like a super veil that looks to be pairing up with one of the other big veils. I would really like to see what I would get from that pairing. I also look forward to breeding my wild peruvians.

Thanks Rico

On a new note.
I just got a bunch of new fish and plants and even a nice piece of driftwood from a local guy who was selling his 300 gallon tank. (Thanks aquabear) I rescaped the right side of the tank. Hopefully I can get some pictures up in the next couple of days.

The new fish
6 congo tetras
7 rummynose tetras (now 5)
a few cardinals to add to the school
2 blue gouramis (were added to my bucket when I wasn't looking)
2 odessa barbs (also while I wasn't looking but I like them)
2 adult albino long fin bristle nose
6+ chocolate otos
15+ black and common otos

I think I am going to have to thin down my tank a bit and get another filter on there. For now, I will be doing extra water changes.

It really looks fantastic!

Levi is eat-able cute!

Question- how do you like the Green Neons mixed in with the Cardinals?

[yikesjason]

Thanks Laura.

I wouldn't recommend intentionally mixing the two. They school together fine, but the greens end up standing out. They look like young or even sick cardinals.

Nice german blue rams and wild angels! I actually had angels breed for me also and got to the point of free swimmers. Great fish to keep and your 125 gallons is so cool. Tex gal and ur 125 make me so jealous. =( You have any problems with the german blue ram fighting with the angels? Really love the blyxa japonica. I been really anxious to try it in my tank. Subscribed and save to my favorite link! =D

[yikesjason]

Thanks Vadim

The ram likes to lay low most of the time. He doesn't get into trouble with with any of the fish in the tank.

I thin and sell blyxa about every 2 or 3 weeks. I like it and it has done really well for me.

[VadimShevchuk]

How much do u sell per portion? I dont have co2 and only 65w pc over 29 gallon so im scared that im gonna fail. Who likes to loose? Also do you have a link from a thread u sold it before?

[yikesjason]

Most of the time I have been selling it in $15 packages. Here is a link to my last sale.

[VadimShevchuk]

Nice plants, Ill wait till i order dry ferts in a couple of weeks

[yikesjason]

I already mentioned that I got some fish and plants from aquabear's 300 aquarium that he just sold. Now I have some pictures to share.

FTS
I don't normally keep the light up high like that, it was just for the picture.


Some of the new guys in the tank.
Congo and rummy nose tetras.


The right side of the tanks was rescaped. I opened it up a little more and put in that new piece of manzanita that sticks up out of the water. I got that from aquabear too.

Your tank is magnificent. Levy is adorable. I've recently gotten back into planted tanks, been reading TPT, AGA, & APC for months now. Found your thread tonight, it's def my favorite. Keep it going, you leave us all with a smile. Thanks!

[hydrophyte]

That's really nice. It must be a great display.

It is interesting that your emersed Anubias can make it right in the regular humidity of the room like that. I have only ever tried to grow them in covered tanks in high humidity. Do you know which kind of Anubias that is there to the left.

I like your congo tetras. Some day I want to do a setup with West Africa tetras.

Wow. Thank you. I have a hard time believing that I have one of those journals that people really get into. I am glad that others enjoy my tank too. I love sitting in front of the tank and just watching the fish go by. I just need to get some furniture rearranged so I can have the lazy boy in front of the tank instead of dinning room chairs.
