He did survive the night though so I got him out and put him into his own tank. He got a nasty case of ick but I got that cured and he grew big and lived for along time. I gave him a few buddies later on that wouldn't pick on him to. Looks as if you are using live plants in their tank to, I was never a fan of fake plants.
Seeing your tank makes me really want to set mine up again but I can't till we finish remodeling the living room. I doubt I'd do Discus though, I'd either do just a community tank. What size tank is that man?
Before I moved to where we are now I used to build slate caves and pebble wells and sold them locally to fish stores in the neighborhood, If I can dig up some pictures of them I'll post them for you to see....I'll also look for pictures of the last tank I had set up.
(dont know if you meant me or another Chris but I am into aquariums if you didn't know) |
Hi Chris, yes, I meant you lol. I would love to see some pics of your past aquariums. my tank is a 4 foot x2x2. I have convinced my wife that I need a 6 footer for Christmas!! I think it would make a nice center piece in the lounge room. Unfortunately I presently have my fish in treatment for plague,not nice. I bought that yellow one pictured with 2 others and they looked fine at the fish farm, and when I got them home and in my tank, there was slime coat coming off and they went into the corner and wouldn't eat. the next day or two and 2 of my other fish did the same. They all had got discus plague. They are now almost 100%, treatment will be finished on Friday. Hey Saphira, I have 2 Betta's as well ones called Simon, the others victor. they are both crown tails. Also be careful putting males in with females, the females sometimes kill the males after breeding, so best to keep an eye on them!!!
