12 Volt Man's Aqueon 150 Gallon Startup Thread

[12 Volt Man]

thanks. I used to have some really nice red line barbs.

but that was back when quality wild caught ones were available.

the only ones I see in my area are tank bred ones with no colour now..

in the mass effort to breed these fish, they have bred the colour right out of them in most lines..sad.

a few would look great in the 65 planted if I could get some nice ones..

I am still looking for a flagtail for the tank too.

BTW, the 65 with the angels is stellar. Any more pics of it?

some updates:

+1 for the flagtail idea. Those barbs are fattening up!

..still trying to get some good shots of the tinfoil barbs. they are colouring up fast now. this is using the digital macro setting, seems to work a bit better:

You need to watch the film Drag Me to Hell 12 volt man. It's the story of an old hag cursing your 150 gal tank.

I finally watched this this weekend. It was good! shades of Evil Dead!!

Tanks are looking good 12 Volt.

Awesome growth there. Looking healthy too. I'm worried about my flag right now though it's all I can think about.

Drag me to hell is awesome, and I love Sam Raimi!

I only wish Bruce Campbell had made a cameo in that movie.
