and my latest editon .. "pepper" a hill stream loach (actually in goldie tank..) busy at work!

aw loz they are great pics. sorry some died, they looked really nice. your tank is well planted and i love it. whats the pink fish swimming in the back ground?was it a barb too.
enjoyed looking at them

Is that white fish on the 3rd pic a molly?

sandy, in the neon pict?? yes that is one of the barbs i had.

Malfoi, yep thats about the best pict i can get of the mollys, there too darn fast.

cheers

great pics Lozbug , those tiger barbs did they call them tiger barbie's (pink) and tiger kens (blue) at the fish shop, thats what they called them at my lfs

no.. but that is well sweet!! they just were plain old coloured barbs..

ta.

I really enjoyed those pictures Lozbug. Those are some beautiful plants. So far I've not had any luck with live plants. Yours are really healthly looking.

cheers queenie, thanks - alot of trial and error with em' , the fis keep eatin them!!

Great pics... I hope I have enough room in my new place 4 my house mates spare trop tank!

Lovely tank and fish Are those Dyed fish i see ?

Great fish Loz. Nice Pictures.

I think that's my biggest problem. Fish keep eating them. I threw some bulbs into the guppy tank and they are growing and doing fine. But, in the goldie tank forget it. I bought two fairly large amazon sword plants, I thought I read goldies don't care too much for them. Mine do, they've got them widdled down to nearly nothing.

The barbs??

as far as i am awear they are natural... greens, pinks ect. aint they called albino tiger barbs sometimes..?

Queenie: My golidies eat most plants too!!! lol

Ya the Barbs.... hmmm im not sure... usually when you see if that color there died hmmm im not sure...

they are dyed, but i'm sure if lozbug new she would'nt have bought them, unfortunetly tiger barbs are the latest victims of dyeing altough i'm sure it's illegal to sell them here. the problem with tropicals there is so many different fish comeing in so many different colours it makes it harder to know for sure if a batch of fish have been dyed

OMG!! Your right I did not know that!!!, yuck! i feel violated!!

They were just so pretty, i just got my tank and went to LFS, they caught my eye, this was all pre koko's too.... shant’ go to that shop again... :angry:

probably why they all died so quickly and with no obvious illness (except my last one who got ick).

just want to clear this up. albino and green tiger barbs are naturally that colour.

Nice tank Loz! For some reason,I don't end up in tropicals,even though I still have some.... Any way, very nice!

yes there is natural green and albino but those barbs are not them, green tiger barbs have are darkish green in the belly area, and the albinos arent as pink as those in lozbugs pics , if you saw the natural and the dyed ones together you can tell a mile off.

Very nice looking tropical tank. You have done a great job with your plants.

What size is your tank?

thanks... will get a more up to date pict soon (need batteries for camera!) it is about 100 UK Liters... :blink
