Brez Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I recently picked up a 6x2x2 tank setup dirt cheap and got it up and running a couple of weeks ago . I'm running The Naultilus 2700 canister and Jaeger heater it came with . I've added fine gravel , a few rocks , caves and a bunch of shells . Will add a few more rocks over the weekend . The only fish in there atm are a breeding pair of N. helianthus and a couple of their juveniles . I'm going to only stock it with Tangs , would love to put some shellies in there but not sure if the multis would be ok . Here's a list of what I have so if there is anything I shouldn't put with the helianthus or together shout out ; Gold Head (breeding pair) Gold head M & F ( not bonded ) J. regani (pair ) or spare male A.dewindti ( pair ) N. multifaciatus colony of 20 mixed sizes Any other suggestions of what else I could put in feel free to comment . Don't really want fronnies in another of my tanks though , Maybe some L. auritus , cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share Posted October 15, 2016 I ended up putting in the non-bonded gold head pair . When I was cleaning the tank the other pair were guarding a good batch of heads and tails so I was reluctant to transfer them . I'm tempted to put the multis in and get some auritus next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 Tank is settling down well , added 6 of each gold occies and L. auritus from Maurice last weekend . Also picked up a breeding colony of C.leptosoma "black bee" last night ( with holding females ) The Helianthus are breeding regularly and the gold heads have now paired up and guarding their first batch of eggs . Although the female picked a shell right in the middle of the multi colony , I moved it out and she's still guarding so fingers crossed . Need to add some anubias on driftwood , a few bunches of val and either some l numbers or peppermints next and I'm done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopstick_mike Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I'm currently doing the same in my 7x2x2 but since I don't have fronties I'm adding them in too do you think fronties black calvus and maybe multis would've ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Multis will probably end up as live food for your fronnies sooner or later ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 I gave it a bit of a freshen up last weekend , changed out all the fish except the C.leptasoma blackbees . In went 5 gold ocellatus , 5 juvenile black calvus , 5 juvenile firefin comps , a dozen 2.5-3.5cm Kigoma 7 bars and 6 juvenile J.transcriptus gombe . A bit of rescaping , a few bunches of Val and all done again til next time I get bored Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Bit of an unplanned change , the gold occies and Julie's didn't get along so while removing the later I also took out the blackbees . Had some C.leptasoma utinta shipped in which have gone in now instead . The occies have split into 2 pairs and both have a couple of fry so the next job will be setup tanks of their own . It's all happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brez Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 So now as it sits 20+ C.leptosoma Utinta , 2 pair gold occelatus , 5 black calvus , 5 firefin comps and 12 kigoma 7 bars . No more tinkering , just time to sit back and watch them grow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzFish Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Are you not worried your letpo's will end up as fish food for the fronnies? they'll be fine when small but once those 7 bars get some size ... dinner is served? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naturally The 7 bars will be moved long before they're big enough to eat the leptos or gold occies , I'm no noob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
