rosco Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Very nice . I think that the tank is large enough for all those fish although you may have to get rid of the venustus otherwise you may end up with one fish a venustus. Sometimes I wish I just had the one tank instead of 45. I had every intention of setting up my 4x2x2 to just be a display tank but I cannot help myself and it has 2 breeding colonies in it because I have this thing about optimizing my space for more colonies. One day I may relent and change it to a display only tank, one day cheers rosco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakes Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 The 2 Saulosi's were brought from Le Aquatic in lansvale,theyre about 10cm each ,the dominant male is probably my favorite fish in the tank,but looking forward to the hongi's,pulcipans and afra's all colouring up too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bakes Posted June 19, 2011 Author Share Posted June 19, 2011 Thanks guys for the kind words,taken me a while to get it looking that good,brought the fish from all corners of sydney, rocks over a few monthes,$9 a kg..... Water quality wasnt that great early on,but adding the second cannister has made the water crystal clear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
