Tony's Pic Update 2/10/10

[Tony]

So I realized that I haven't posted up any pics in a while and had some cabin fever, so snapped a few. As usual, excuse the poor lighting, focus, dirty glass and generally weak photographic skills.

Also, I haven't had a chance to stick on black backgrounds on the new tanks. I'll have that fixed tomorrow.

Anyway, thanks for looking. :jumpy:



Fishroom as of today, with new 40 breeder rack along the back wall. I think I'm just about tapped out of room in the fish room.

Tank #1 (again excuse the lack of background): Group of Ngara Flametails sharing the tank with grow-out Taiwan Reefs and some Copadichromis verdunyi.

Tank #2: Mixed male peacocks with a few larger females to get them to sport a bit more color. Also have (hopefully) a trio of Otopharynx heterodon ("Hap. Royal Blue")

Male O.heterodon

Tanks #3: My homage to the "other cichlids." Pair gold severums with pair cutteri.

Protomaleas spilonotus (Tanzania) - In quarantine tank - moved to 180 tonight. I wanted to get a pic of the male before they moved in case he decided to turn off his colors for a while. (Matt - those are your female bicolors, btw)

P. Spilonotus (Tanz) - male - starting to color up nicely

Baby Champsochromis caeruleus - Aren't they cute? Wild to imagine that these fish, the size of a cichlid stick, will someday get to be 14"-16" long.

Male benga - The blue coloration is slowly losing the war against the yellow coloration in his face. He's a stud, but as mean as any other peacock I have that size.

Mylochromis sp. "Colourflame" growout

Chilotilapia rhoadesii

Awesome Fish room Tone and some really nice looking African's too. Way to go Bro!

Looks like your Ngara's are coloring up nicely after using that prazipro.

Nevertheless, can't wait to check out the 3 pack of 40's, maybe Saturday.

Thanks brothaman... yeah, the Ngara's have been looking better and better by the day since treatment finished around new years. The 40 should help them out even more.

Whenever you can get out; def stop by!

Looking awesome Tony. I'm jealous of the fish room. Wish I had the space for it.

Your photo skills are light years ahead of mine (camera speed too). I enjoyed all the pics. I really like the venustus in the 180. Can you post a full pic of the 180?

 

[Tony]

Thanks guys for the kind words... especially about my photo skills, lol.

I'll try to get some good full-tank shots of the 180 today. With it being so long, I end up with a lot of stand in the pics and they don't look very good to me, but I'll post one up later anyway.

Thanks again.

Way to go. Nice set up! Hope that top tank on the breeder rack doesn't give you too much trouble.

OMG! I have all the same attributes as you! Great stock and pictures (even thought they are the "other" type of cichlids).
