Great updates! Just got back last week from my cruise and didn't have much time to spend in Lisbon. We did visit Sintra and Cascais and they were beautiful. I would definitely go back to spend more time in Portugal, beautiful country!

It is, isn't it?:)

This weekend i didn't take picts. I didn't do nothing new. Only refilled some tanks because of evaporation. There are some new babies and the Red Kadango also reproduced. It's the first time I have reprodutions on this species.

I am thinking, next weekend if all goes as planned, to start covering the GreenHouse.

This weekend I've done some new things and I have some news.

For starting I've added some new species of African Cichlids to my collection, offered by Daniel Santos. Thank you my friend :)

Here they are



added to this tank


which was empty awaiting their first inhabitants.

These are some Pseudotropheus Itungi "Black Tanzania" and some Pseudotropheus Saulosi.

I hope they enjoy the new home and once again, thank you Daniel.

More things ...

I introduced the first rays in the tank created for this purpose.

I will not comment on the state in which they reached the tank. I am furious. Now look:

This is the one in worse condition




This one is a little better, but...



In spite of my desire on returning them, I will try to save. This is due to burns caused by ammonia in the bag.

The appearance of them is this one:

This is the one in worse condition



This is the other



Both are very beautiful and should be about 20cm. They are two females Potamotrygon Motoro.

This is the tank


It's specifically with little water. All this is very new for me and this is a controlled test to confirm my theory that you can keep rays in these conditions. Only I'm very annoyed because they are not in their best conditions.

More photos from the following day



Let's see how this first week turn out. I covered the tank with polycarbonate to keep the water hot.

After the rays episode, despite being very concerned about the same, I began the phase of the coverage of the greenhouse.

I had to weld a few more irons in the ceiling, still missing because I had to disassemble a piece of poli already built, for welding.

It was in this site


and in this one


And so, with the help of my father and my son who was the photographer.





It had to be with extra care for not spoiling the existing polycarbonate.

Here the work already completed.



Here the first plate in the roof




I realized the work with these auto-perforating bolts, the ideal solution.






The plates have to be very well stuck because in winter the wind is like hell.

The Union of plates


and the help of the family


Here is the adventure of going up to the seiling to screw the plates.



Two are done.

And a few more pictures to end
