jld Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Just upgraded from my old 60gal. Bought this 120 from a really nice member from Calgary. My fish are as happy as me... I got to redecorate and they all love the extra space to swim around in! Hope you all like my tank design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaVishVish Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 nice..! I like the wood too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jld Posted February 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I had fun picking out that wood from a huge box in Big Al's Calgary.... it is terranium wood not drift wood sold for $23 a piece, and I weighted in down by screwing suction cups from the bath isle in the dollar store to the bottoms (that only took about a month to be saturated enough to remove the cups)! I added dollar store plastic plants to the ends of the back branches to make them look like trees (they already have a wire in them so I just wrapped them around the branch). Big Al's in Edmonton will carry the same stock wood. Very nice those are some awesome lookin pieces of wood. I'm jealous :P Do you know what kind of wood that is?

jld Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 I am always trying to keep it all male mixed mbunas and peacocks(various sizes for appeal) ( I am very picky trying to find the very best coloration and overall look of them too)... I did recently have another accident with a female ob peacock holding but the dad is a stunner so its ok i guess,lol As for the list, I love my fish so I will be happy to share what I think makes a colorful tank and would love to share many pics, but I really am bad at getting a clear pic (I have tryed over and over) mbunas: 2 cobalt blue 2 red zebra 2 electric yellow 2 lab. travs (both dark blues) + one ob female 1 brownish red fulleborni 1 juvenille demonsai (kept one baby from an earlier accident to see the results and then gave parents to mom) 1 kenyi peacocks/others: 3 dolphins 1 6 strip front 2 ruby reds 5 albinos (two obs (dark pink and yellow), other colors ( yellow and nude) 3 obs, one red, one yellow + the female 1 female girrafe venustus (great color less aggression) 1 sunshine orange 1 sunshine yellow 1 red empress 1 yellow regal 1 blue regal 1 strawberry ob hybred 1 strawberry plus a few other really nice males that I haven't been able to identify. looks beautiful, love the low lighting natural look!
