You ain't seen NOTHING yet! Wait 'til they get a bit older then the blue will really pop.Wow! They are beautiful!
I did!! Couldn't take them allSweet blues, did you leave any behind? What were they going for?
Thanks, Gary. The Osaka was the first success I ever had with a planted tank. It looked great and I was very happy with it until I had a brutal Callamanus worm infestation. I treated the tank twice - luckily I didn't lose any fish and thought I had won the battle, but a couple of weeks ago, I pulled out a plant and the roots were COVERED in the worms. That was enough for me. I threw out everything - plants, substrate, filter media and cleaned EVERYTHING. So, now the tank is back to barebottom and will stay that way. Joseph very generously gave me the wood. Luckily it sinks!! I was afraid I was going to have to glue it to the bottom of the tankLooks wonderful, the layout and the fish. What I want to know is, where did you get the wood? I want some that look almost exactly like that! It's manzanita?
Could it have been threadfins or perhaps madagascar rainbows? I'll look for it.sweet tank
(btw, before 'the crash', you posted a grovy little vid clip of some displaying gertrudae rainbows. do you still happen to have it, and, if so, would you repost it? )
Very beautiful set up, Shelley !!!!!"So, are you getting some?"
"Yeah - I'm thinking five or six. What do you think?"
"Just get them all."
"Okay!"

You are ALWAYS welcome, Gary. How are you making out with treating the lice? I had meant to reply to your post to tell you that I have a wild male discus that has what looks like the worms your chocolate cichlid has. He's always had them and the funny thing is none of the other fish seem to be affected. When he gets stressed or goes off his food, I can see one or two of the worms protrude from his fins and body - just like in your pictures. I'll see them for a couple of days, and then they're gone again. Haven't got a clue what they are. Hope things go well with eradicating the lice.Might even have to arrange to see your tanks in person one day.Right now I'm fighting this fish lice (Argulus) problem, so no new fish for a while.

You know what? I was kinda thinking the same thing"The blue angels only do three things - eat, fight, poop! Sometimes that order changes but that's their life in a nutshell"
I think this means that they are all male fish![]()
Well, I tried the manual removal method, but having a heavily decorated and planted tank is a double edged sword. I spent an hour driving the fish nuts and didn't catch a single one. Off to get a second bigger net tonight and also to get some Fluke Tabs at King Ed's I think.You are ALWAYS welcome, Gary. How are you making out with treating the lice?

Except you don't have any L239 coming in this order do you Charles? If so, I agree. Blue on blue rocks. Blue phantom, blue pleco, EBJD and blue eyed panaque.well, I think the blue heaven will look blue-r with some L239 blue panaques![]()
