these are the guppies. the colours are fantastic. shame i cant get in close.

guppy

thanks loz and cupoftea.

Lovely pictures Sandy , One of your guppies the mostly orange one (not with the blue) looks just like my main male breeder guppy Petter.

wow i love your tank! and very cute angelfish! (and other fish of course lol)

thanks bo,ermidontknow and aqua

yes bo the orange one is stunning. my pic doesnt do him justice. he is mostly orange and has a white flash down his side, but when he turns it looks lilac. im thinking about breeding from him too.

Looking at your pictures today is the first time I've ever felt like getting into tropicals. I have a spare 10g.

Did you plant the tank first then add the fish?

What are easy starting fish?

hi fishmerised

glad you like my tank.
for a 10 gallon, the principle is the same as gf, all you need is a higher temperature and tropical food.
its best to get everything in to your tank including the live plants before you add the fish. it will need to cycle as well.
as for fish the choice is yours. its an inch per gallon normally, so you would need to find out the adult length before putting in. ideal beginners are zebra danios, pencilfish, a couple of cories for the bottom and really most tetras, but i would avoid neons until your tank is well established. these fish reach approximately two inches when fully grown.
for the plants i add a plant fertilizer. if you need any more help please feel free to ask, i dont mind.

forgot to add.

if you want tetras then they need to be kept in small groups. you could try 3 lemon tetras, 3 phantom tetras but i think that would be your limit. when i had tropicals in my 16 uk gallon tank i had 4 wcmm, 4 pencilfish, 4 neons, and a hillstream loach.

Ooooo OOooo Oooooo!!!!! Fabarooo! The Plec is ace, god I wanna come round for coffee tomorrow morning and inspect the tank and ask far too many questions and ..and..and.. WoW! I wanna have a go with tropicals!!!!!

thanks pea.
it would only take you what......at least 8 hours to get here!

i will put the kettle on

WOw! I love thoose cute little anglefish babies!

your fish are soooooo cool!

thanks pearlscale fan. the angels i love, they are my favourite and they are only a couple of inches across.

as a side note my kribs have laid eggs in the root ornament

more babies!!!!

Cool, Sandy!! I just love the guppies and your pleco!! You got any female guppies too?

hi andrea. i dont want females just yet, i dont have the room. maybe if a get yet another tank i might think about it. glad you liked the pics.

loz. more babies!!

wow.... I am currently looking at houses as i am moving in with 2 friends... one has an emplyt large tropical tank so I soooo hope we have room 4 it cause it will so come out of storage (at his parents house) and b filled with new fish!!!

I just mentioned on another thread,that I really don't come into the tropical section very often-even though I've always had tropical tanks all my life,and still have a couple going. I wanted to comment on how great your pics/fish /tank is. The mixture of real and not look very nice. I also like alot of your choices of fish. I myself thought about trying kribs out,but ended up not.They've always seemed like very cool fish. I have a half dozen of Angels who I love,and I haven't seen a pleco that I haven't liked yet! Nice job!

thanks for that devs, thats really nice of you to say. my favourite tropical is the angel, black veiltails to be precise. i have bred black angels in the past and hopefully will do so again. any chance of seeing your tropicals now you have a swish new camera??

I very much like your tank. How many gallons is it?

hi me, man. you, fish

i think its 34 - 36 uk gallons, im not quite sure. glad you like it.

yeah!!!!!!!

I also have a black veil,acouple marbles,a koi,and two that I'm not sure about. LOL! The black veils would have to be my favs too.As for taking pics,hahaha--that tank is always very sparse because of the crazy pleco,so I think I'll have to do some major redecorating before that happens.

well devs i will keep pestering you until you show me your angels.

I just happen to take this very first pic ever on the new cam-before I even knew what buttons to push!!! Not the best pic I've taken,but there are a few angels in it anyway!Click to view attachment

Wow Just Lovely Sharon!, lol for some reason when i get a 20 gallon tropical tank started i think i might try angels.

You could keep that many in a tank? i thouhgt these fish were agressive..???

Alex,they can be and normally are very aggressive. I got all these guys when they were the size of a dime,with the intentions of breeding them out.I had this many in the tank to try and find a pair. I have two other tanks that eventually they will get split up into.Right now,they have their own little territories,and believe me-when someone invades their space they will nip,and lock lips.Lucky for me,that doesn't happen too much! This is a better picof angels unfortunately,I was in the middle of a water change,and rearranging so half of the plants were sitting in a bucket right next to me! Click to view attachment

Well it was a better pic until I had to shrink it!

the pics are great devs. are your angels full grown and have they bred yet. i have bred black angel with a female marble. i would love to breed them again but will have to save the pennies to get a deep tank.

No,not full grown by far yet. I'm starting to think that I may actually have a pair,and if thats the case then those two will go into a 30 gal.high that I have.How big did your biggest ones get? The hospital at work has angels in a atank,and they're HUGE!!!

my pair werent that big before they spawned , only about 4 inches tall, not including the fins. hope you get a pair devs its really fascinating watching them rear the babies. good luck.
im off to bed now as its nearly 1.30 am. night.
