Hey Hal, Welcome!

Thats awesome news, keep up the good work!

Sounds like it will be cool, please post pic's when you get it all set up!

Beautiful Fish and Awesome pictures! :bow: One day..lol, Maybe I can get some sort of good photos of mine, but I just can't get them right. To quick and too blurry even in action mode for the wee digital I have.

Here is the wee baby filter I mentioned, I do have it on my 5.5 but my 4 betta do not make much mess, I also do regular water changes, think it cost me like $8.00 : The Red Sea Nano Filter is a highly efficient mini-filter. It combines mechanical, biological and chemical filtration for superior results. Suitable for aquariums up to 3 gallons. Adjustable flow control allows for use in various styles and sizes of aquariums. Easy to install and maintain. Silent operation. Made for use with Red Sea's Deco Art Aquavase collection. Hydor Mini Heater-7.5 Watt is the wee heater I installed too. I figured instead of worrying if they were cold, so I bought this one. Once again it was $9.00 I think

I am a newbie, have no clue about fish, but looking at the pictures of a Boesmani rainbow fish, and your picture, I would say your probably correct on ID, size seems off though. Maybe a better option may be the Australian rainbowfish, bigger in size, maybe a bit off in color but not drastic as the boesmani.Not only is it cool to try and see if your correct, I learn more about fishes!! So, thanks for asking, gave me a chance to learn about yet another fish. Found this site for info on the Boesmani. and Austrailian Take a peek, hope it helps a bit.

in my 5.5 I bought a little nano filter and undergravel heater. as far as small plec's, a Bristlenose pleco is good, only grows to 5" in size, cool looking too. Profile on Bristlenosed pleco

Thanks for the advice , next time...keep them seperated!(if there is a next time)

They must be young ones? I looked them up because they are nice looking fish, but all I get are adult pics, no juvies and the thread-finned cichlid has..well you guessed it, fins that look like threads. Very cool looking fish though, where'd you find them at?

LOL...Oh noooo. Thats humorous but I am sorry for your loss

Thats ok, wanting to definately keep color in my tanks so was going to get me a few boys of each and find homes for the rest. Not interested in breeding them right now.

Mommy and Daddy are Beautiful/Handsome, Very nice looking fish! Love how they were all protective of the eggs even from you, swimming at the tank edge trying to get you away in the video, very protective.

YAY! More babies!! Congrats yet again

That would be awesome to see..very educational! Aww who am I kidding I think it would be neat to watch the whole play up to mating, like to see what kind of interaction they have when first meeting occurs. Good luck! -roll- TOO FUNNY!

Ok, so the dilema is this, bought a bunch of awesome babies from a member of AA. Of corse I got them home and put them all in the same 20gl tank. How can I..if possible at all.. tell the difference between eurekas and sunshines at 1/2" ? Any way of doing it?? I am thinking I may have to hurry up and wait unless there is a trick to it (other than keeping them seperate) LOL :boom:

Pretty babies! [

Hello! And welcome to AA. I had the same problem with my Betta's and now moved them into a 10gl, way happier! I just went to Big al's and bought the little package incl lights and lid..20 bucks i think. They have little mini filters and under gravel heater, keeps it nice and warm in there. Anyways, nice to have you join the group!

Thats right, start with small size change increments, they wont notice.. Well welcome to AA, I hope to hear from you lots!

Howdy, lol, I know little late, but better late than never! Welcome to AA

Welcome to AA!

Well, Welcome back to the best addiction going! Glad you could join us in AA

LMAO know the feeling, started with a 50 and now we have broke the 100Gal point, 7 tanks later and only a few months...

Welcome Back!

Very nice! looks really good.
