Paul V's Big Tank Log

Been away for 9 days. Can't believe how much some of the fish have grown in that time!! I guess when watching them everyday you don't notice.
The lodger Convict has turned out to be female I believe and is thriving. Unsure what to do, whether to re-home or keep awhile and see

Guess as long as she is behaving herself, you can keep her.
Main thing is that you can just enjoy your tank now

Yeah I'm considering another tank to use to house a couple like a breeding tank but big enough to house some.
I'll look up all the requirements for the convicts/severum might have a couple of those and then my parrots can have a dirty weekend in there sometimes lol

I know one thing, the herd will need thinning next year if these all continue to grow!

But it's nice to enjoy the tank without a drama (touch wood)

Sorry - are you considering breeding convicts?!!!!
Worse than guppies, you'll never get rid of all the fry.......

Haha no. I wouldn't mind trying to breed a convict with a parrot to make the polar parrot

An even worse hybrid? No!

Hi guys, been really busy recently and not on the forum much. Got a couple of days off now and I'm splitting my time between golf and fish tank!

I have spent £+*" (just in case) on a load more very large driftwood, moss and Amazon sword mother plants. They are all going in on Friday with a major re-scape.
Currently in my quarantine tank I have a pair of baby tiger Oscars.
I am going to trop co Friday morning who are going to take 8 blood parrots of my 11 for credits and I intend to get a couple of red shoulder severum and a vieja sypsilum. All will be quarantined for 2-4 weeks.
Not sure what I'll do with the swords, attach to wood or bury in sand. The Hornwort I bought is flourishing in the tank now and I believe my giant Anubias are fighting back as there are a few new leaves growing.
Will get some pics up once the over haul is complete.

Hope everyone is good

Swords won't do so well attached to anything.
They spread mainly by roots but do shoot out a stem with baby plants on it every so often.

Come on, come on, we haven't got all day, get uploading!
