New pics! :)

[Glasstapper]

I've added some new fish to my tank, so I thought I would share the new photos.

the gouramis photograph very well, so there's more pictures of them.

I know this sounds crazy, but my favorite part of that picture is the bubbles in the background!

There's one of my corys and a gourami sharing a hikari wafer. They have a method those two. The gourami will play with the wafer until it's broken up, then the cory will come along and help it eat it.

Can anyone find where the other cory is hiding? hee hee!

I think they have nipped part of the dorsal fin on the third. I think they are starting to establish their territories.

Your gouramis are gorgeous. I have one too. They are so pretty. They also seem to have quite the personality. Mine is usually mellow, but I put to creamcicle mollies in with it and it picked on the smaller one for like a day or two, and now leaves it alone and is almost friends with it. Your whole tank is beautiful, I am way jealous.

[Glasstapper]

thank you, dizzykylie! I just hope I don't have such bad luck with the dwarf as I've heard other people do. *fingers crossed*

WOW! Great pictures. Better than great!

Nice Glasstapper!

Gourmai's will stay very brightly colored with the color enhanced food, too.

[Glasstapper]

They also love the freeze dried bloodworms and those sinking wafers. It's funny to watch them at feeding time. They come up to the top of the water and start their clicking noises before I even put the food in! And when I drop that wafer in, there's always at least one of them that follows it down and starts pushing it around. They have quite the personality. They're also incredibly smart. There was a piece of worm stuck on the glass just before the water line, so one of the gouramis started squirting water at it until it came back to where he could reach it. I had never seen that before...I was in awe.


(Also, that last hiding cory finally passed away. I have no idea why 3 would die within a few days with one being healthy. I'll try that species again in a few more weeks.)

I never heard my drawfs making any noises at feeding time. When I feed my balas, tho, it sounds like I have squirrels in the walls. They really get noisy.

[Lady Hobbs]

Glasstapper......enter these pictures in the POTM for November thread.

[Glasstapper]

oh, good idea hobbs. thanks. I think I'll pick one with the gouramis.


And about that clicking sound, it's when they come right up to the surface to get food. Right when they grab for it, there's a click sound that they make. I looked to see if they were maybe splashing water and that was what I was hearing, but no...no splashing water. I guess it's their lips smacking? haha!

Very nice photos. I am jealous you are successfully keeping dwarfs. I never had any luck with them

[Glasstapper]

I've only had them a week, and they're kind of giving me problems already. They fight a lot. I mean, A LOT! and one has a weird lump on his body. If I can keep them alive for a few months, I'd say that is successful.

[jeffs99dime]

i like your pics!:19:

[Glasstapper]

I really like your avatar, jeff! The Big Lebowski is my favorite movie ever!

[Lady Hobbs]

My bala's make a bunch of noise and always while and after eating blood worms. Flakes they do nothing but I can hear them all over the apartment after a blood worm treat.

[Severus]

Good luck with them and let me know how everything goes. I would say a few months is successful with those little guys lol

[Coldfire]

Cool pics, very nice aquarium setup!

[jeffs99dime]

I really like your avatar, jeff! The Big Lebowski is my favorite movie ever!

[Glasstapper]

haha! We have the exact same taste in movies!



Also, I may have to remove one of them as it seems that maybe there isn't enough room for all of them. I didn't realized they would require so much space.
