Yup.  That's a fishtank all right.
Title: fish tank pictures
Post by: Kazan on January 06, 2004, 11:34:06 pm
right now it's very lightly stocked - 4 small angelfish and 4 corydora

it will soon have 4 rams too -- we're PROFESSIONALS so we actually properly stock our tanks - when these fish grow up that will be slighty over fully stocked and in fact we're very likely to sell back some fish to keep it within stocking limits.


if someone tells you "fish grow to their aquarium" slap them senseless - this is in effect true but that is because when they start to outgrow their tank they put out waste products faster than the filtration can keep up and they are poisoned by their own wastes and that stunts their growth

just like the whole pleco thing - most are known to grow to 3 FEET in length (and they're beauts at that size) except for some of the species that always stay smaller (don't know off the top of my head, would have to ask my better half)

So set up brighter lighting - the camera will not need as long an exposure to get a decent picture, and the shutter speed will go down.

Fish are cool, if they don't die.
My fish tank population history:

Goldfish:
3
4
3
2
1
0
(died of old age)
(upgraded to tropical)
4
8
6 (2 fish found to have "escaped" the tank and lieing dead behind it. How?!)
9
13
17
13
(some babies born)
~18
(loads died, leaving only one species)
6
(remaining gradually die off over 2 years)
1
Currently just an adult female Red-Tailed Sword. Origionally one of the babies. Doesn't have a name, though I'm open to suggestions.

I'd buy more fishies but pets arent allowed in my student flat so it has to stay at home. :(



Edit: In reflection, what a boring post. :doubt:

I used to have a 15-gallon fish tank... the population was up to about 20 at one point. Then my white tetras started eating my neon tetras and it was all downhill from there.

Now I'm getting a puppy!

You should take the sides off of a few, caulk em together, and make one massive fishtank.

yes just a few months ago - how things change :D

like i said back then - i was in the cash-strapped position until i could A) get a job and B) my loans for this semester came in


and the money people gave me helped me make it through on the bills until i got both A and B.. thanks a ton - now I can dedicate more time to the community because one of the things i bought was a laptop
