kenny1tothe6 · 11-18-2009, 02:40 PM

I don't have as many going as you think...

I have right now [as of 11/18/09]:
55gal
29gal
10
2.5
1.5

Plans effective immediately:
20gL
3gal

While I do have most of the tanks in my sig, I haven't set them all up yet and gave a few away depending on what I want to do [I gave away my 180

]

Ugh, this tank is alittle stuck...it's going backwards! LOL

Since the first post, I've lost 10 fish out of no where and then on 11/28/09, while watching the tank, the heater sparked inside and then flashed blue...so, I trashed it.

Everything is, for the most part stable now & I'm soon going to get to ripping out the substrate & replacing it along with 2 new filters[Eheim Classic 2028 Pro*I think* and Penguin 350B] along with a new 275W Stealth Heater [if I can find one that size, maybe 250W?]..The angelfish, Killifish, &, Paradisefish are all pains in my ass[they fight/eat EVERYTHING], so I hope they all go away soon. lol

loool

sorry for the fish and i guess the equipment might have zapped them if they just diead randomly like that...

My mom thinks that but judging by how they look...I think the angels are pissed and want to eat the intruders...

Angels:

Massive angels much? they would realy like the tetras and swords lol and surely anything smaller.

kenny1tothe6 · 11-30-2009, 10:17 PM

Those fish beside/behind are full grown.

This is why I want them gone. Excuse the innocent red/black eyes. lol

those angels look huge. angels are more agressive then most people think.
off topic how your 125 break?

kenny1tothe6 · 12-02-2009, 10:48 AM

They are HUGE, like 2 hands put together in real life. The turquoise blushing one was about the size of a penny[and cost 5$] when I bought him in May of 2008...so, you can see how fast they can grow under good conditions.

Unfortunately, I doubt they are going to be alive much longer. All they do now is swim with clamped fins and eat. They don't even beg or anything anymore and mostly hide behind the lotus/val pot...

My brothers shattered my 125 with a baseball bat 'cuz for whatever reason, they wanted to torture me. I grabbed and hit them[that must've hurt] with the bat before they turned to the 29 & 55. I got glass in my hands, arms, & feet. The 125 had been filled with water, but luckily, my fishroom isn't done...so, there wasn't electricity to it. The sad part was, I only paid 20$ for it and now I'm out 20$ AND, I've got to go pay 200$ for a new one.

4 Bala Sharks, 1 Ghost Knife, & 4 Headstanders are now waiting for a new tank and only in a 40BDR[I'm getting rid of that tank and my other 29 that has 2 weather loaches/3 pitbull plecos*for the 90CBF*].

I'm scheduled to tear down this tank SOON, but my plans & schedules conflict all the time. Most of the fish died as expected and the angelfish pair looks worse and worse each day.

All that's left?:
2x Angelfish
1x Goldwonder Killifish
1x Paradise Fish
4x Diamond Tetras
3x Longfinned Black Skirt Tetras
2x Mollies
1x Platy
1x Rainbow
2x Black[or red] Phantom Tetras
2x Harlequin Rasboras
2x Pristella Tetras
2x Cherry Barbs
21-ish Various Cories
2x Kuhli Loaches
1x Rubber Lip Pleco
3x Bristle-Nose Plecos

And...I think that's it.

Not much...The deaths aren't going to stop either. Estimated, the Angelfish, Harlies, Pristellas, Barbs, Platy, Paradisefish & Killifish are all going to die. Surprisingly the Rainbow, Mollies, Remaining Tetras, Plecos, Cories, & Kuhlies all look great[I've had the kuhli's since 2007 when I had 4].
