Introduction To Myself.
Posted: 07 Feb 2013, 22:49
So sorry for this being so late lol, here is an introduction to me 
My name is Alecia, I am 16 years old and currently only have 1 Aquarium. Hopefully, soon to be 2 again.
I have my other pet's as well as my fish, I have my reptiles and my cats.
Anyway, here is a little bit about my fish.
I currently have only 1 Aquarium and it is a little unstable at the minute(not in cycle, in décor) but will hopefully be back on track soon. The substrate is currently Black & White Mini Gravel but will be switching to sand soon enough. The tank is 75cmx30xcmx38cm(LxWxH) and the current inhabitants are only partially my own. It currently holds my 3 Hyalobagrus Flavus, my mums 3 Neon Tetra’s and my Brachygobius Xanthozona(might let my mum have him when she gets her new tank) so yeah, only the Hyalobagrus and Brachygobius are my own fish currently lol. The reason my mums Neons are in my tank(I don’t particularly like Neons) and why there are only 3? Well long story short, her tank was old and started leaking and the neons are old and have dwindled down to single digits over the last 2 months
.
So yes, once my mum get’s her new tank all that will be in mine is the Hyalobagrus and possibly the Brachygobius if I don’t let him go to my mum. He’s a cute little fellow and so funny to watch but with him needing Bloodworm every couple of days I don’t think he’d be best living with the Neons permanently… One fish my mum isn’t having is my trio of Hyalobagrus lol. It took me ages to get them and they are not going now.
My partner currently has my 5 guppies who will be moved into the tank when the neons are moved out as there are 2 delta males so would not want them to get nipped and everything. Then afterwards my partner will be allowing me to have a male Hypancistrus Zebra on his own in here. A small pleco I have wanted for a very long time but never been able to afford. So the stock in the end will be as follows;
5x Poecilia Reticulata
3x Hyalobagrus Flavus
1x Hypancistrus Zebra
And possibly a small shoal of Rainbowfish or likewise.
* Means I was going to up numbers, re-home or were only temporary.
I used to own a 90cmx30cmx38cm(LxWxH) planted tank that contained as follows;
1x Pterophyllum Scalare
7x Capoeta Titteya
2x Aplocheilus Lineatus “Yellow”
1x Corydoras Panda*
1x Corydoras Paleatus*
3x Female Betta Splendens*
2x Pelvicachromis Subocellatus Matadi
3x Hyalobagrus Flavus
4x Brachygobius Xanthozona
This was heavily planted with fast flow and I got spawning’s out of my Capoeta, Aplocheilus, Hyalobagrus and Pelvicachromis.
Anyway, sorry for the long post lol. And I hope you like my old 3ft tank. No photo’s of my current tank as it is a state lol.
