Had a "cleaning" day today .. aka a procrastination day .. aka I'd rather be doing just about anything else than figuring out how WAFs work.. hrmmmmm

Here's some more pics from July.. photos of Neil's fish

I pulled out my camera to document the biggest corys I've ever seen (the photo doesn't show the scale!)

Tropheus duboisi

Today Stu sold ten of our adult multis to Jem Aquatics (and got $6 each for them).  And then he went and bought ten Tropheus duboisi fish.

They refused to eat anything Stu tried to feed them tonight.  But they do look kinda cool, and they were following each other round the tank ..
(juveniles are dotty and they change to the stripe as they mature)

The poor little multies look a bit terrorised though (even tho the duboisis are vegetarian)

So apparently the two leleupis we got a while back were in fact a male and a female.  Because we have a bunch of grains of sand with eyes that are being guarded by the smaller one.  :)

Consolidated some of our fish tanks on the weekend.  We're down to ten, from fourteen (!)

We put a killi akura in with some guppies, but the little bastard terrorised my poor guppies, so now all the guppies are together in one tank and he has his own tank :(

And my beautiful crowntail betta finally died :(:(  Poor little dude.  I'd had him eighteen months, which is ok for bettas (and don't know how old he was when I got him).

We went and got Scott's fish tank off them today, to be given to Annie next time we see them. Except that we simply don't have the surfaces to spare, so it's sitting on Stu's old desk outside by the back door. Where it will soon be invaded by the resident spiders, so it can't stay there too long.

Worried they won't allow my to have my macquarium at my new work, but we don't have a permanent home for that here either.

The little multies finally had a couple of babies a while back, but we don't have the space for them to stay in their own tank on the kitchen bench, so looking at a new home for them too.

We currently have 15 tanks with fish in them, and three others that don't. It's all getting a little silly...

I brought my kribbies from work down this trip. They're three years old now, but the less dominant ones don't have their own caves or hidey holes, so have to huddle in the middle of the tank..

I also brought my multies down. The only spot we could find to put them was the kitchen bench, which gets some sunlight..

My black noen tetties have been down for a while, and stu put his cardinals in with them..

Tetras

Stu inherited this black widow tetra from a work colleague..

Angels

So Sunday Daniel and Fi come over with a boy angel, with the hopes that he'll make babies with my girl angel.

He seemed happy enough to start following her around for a while, but then it got down and dirty as the girl reminded him that this was *her* tank!

He's still not eating which is worrying me. Even tempting them with blood worms didn't work (and the girl seems to have forgotten how much she likes them - she ignored them :( ) .. silly fish ..

Angels face off

Welcome to my little piece of the Blogosphere!

I am a recent Canberra resident after having spent the first 34 years of my life in Sydney. I am married to my beautiful husband Stu, and we live with several computers and a lot of fish.
