Ok, where do i start... it has been a stressful couple of weeks...

I moved the fish from the old to the new Tank and everything seemed to work well.

But than, a few weeks later i added the first new fisch and... had a macrogyrodactylus outbreak :/
Annoying, but i was able to treat it with praziquantel without any loss :)

Here is the new one, "Blue"

One of the greatest fish i have ever had the privilege of keeping.
Very curious and trustful from the first day :)


When i did a waterchange to remove the medicin from the tank, i noticed something small on the frontwindow. It turned out as a small Ancistrus.
My orange and my black longfin ancistrus spawned!!!

I'm really looking forward how their color will turn out ?

At the moment i have about 50 of these small guys. The most of them made it into my swampfilter. I had to use a snail trap to catch them out^^

The next good news: I was able to get a pack of P. Palmas Palmas and P. Palmas Buettikoferi. They will arrive next tuesday ?

From now on, i will try to deliver more regularly updates from this tank !

It's time to stock up !!!
I'll get 4 new additions next week, but i don't want to tell to much about it now.

Today i got the first new tankmate. It's a fish i've been looking for a veeeeeeeery loooooong time now.
But this week i was able to order one and it arrived today.

I had 1 red shoulder and 2 red spot sevs a few years back, great fish! By full adult maturity I was a bit over the red spot coloration and the red shoulder was my favorite, they color up beautifully!
