azzah Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Well after a few months of building the stands and researching what parts I needed to make it all work. 2 of my stands are finally done. I plan to do one more rack in the coming months but will just sit back and enjoy it for now. What do people think Left rack is 4 foot tanks Right rack is 5 foot tanks Currently in there at the moment is about 200-300 venustus fry (top left) about 40 E.Yellow fry (top left) Growing colony of E.Yellows (middle left) about 50 mixed fry donated to me by a friend (bottom left) Colony of Hongi (top right) Colony of E.Blue (top right) Colony of Maingano (middle right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscacara Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Looks like an awesome setup you have done! Makes me a bit jealous but I dont have the room or knowhow so good to see someone elses effort. Time to get out the recliner, the esky and a stock of coldies to enjoy watching them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to get out the recliner, the esky and a stock of coldies to enjoy watching them. A few months ago I didn't know much about it either but after reading a few threads on this forum I was able to get enough knowledge to be able to do it all. I am lucky enough to be able to fit it in my garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azzah Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 Wow, that looks great - azzah, you did this after reading for a few months? What fish did you start with? started off with my african display tank. Then got a 5x2x2 for breeding venustus (which they are still in) and then moved onto tanks running on sponge filters to what I have in the pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alida Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 WOW very impressive set-up!! Can you send fishies to a private customer in Tas (me)? I am not sure how it works yet.

I have just set up a tank and want to breed cichlids for fun (not business). Alida I think TAS has regulations on bringing in Tropical fish / fish. Would be wise to check on what can cross tthe bass straight first. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
