Wednesday13’s Fish Room

[wednesday13]

Damn....I thought I had the world's largest rohani barb! I have one loner that mixes it up in my stock tank, solid 6-7", but yours is a true monster rohani lol. Seems they don't need a group like so many people insist, thrive when they're odd man out.

Guy is a trooper… atleast 11-12 yrs old now. The lone survivor of an original 11. Sadly i had a few that made it to 5-6” and my rays ate them… thing is an ass tho lol. He chewed up my 40” lung a year ago maybe. He goes rounds with the knives and tinfoils. Never learns.

That's a wily old veteran for sure, lives on the edge, pushes the boundaries trying to hold onto his youth. Judging by his looks mightve been swallowed by a knifefish a time or two before fighting his way out. Legendary.

I put those bags up just for u John lol… i did actually change the lighting tho … had to try it on the bags, ive read u mention it many times on here. They static clung better than i expected.

Dang! I hate it when one of my ideas works out better for someone else than it did for me!

You appear to have crinkled the crap out of those bags before slapping them on, and it gives a nice rockwork-like look to it. I always just smoothed a nice clean flat bag onto the glass, right out of the box. Looked like paint. Now I gotta try to replicate the effect you have there.

It's tough going through life with no imagination...

Oh, sure...now you tell me...

I have exactly one all-glass tank that isn't set up as a "see-through" and on which I could try to replicate this look. So I spent a couple hours last night doing just that. I now have a pile of 6 or 7 Glad bags that have been twisted, scrunched, balled-up, stretched-out, beaten, bashed and otherwise abused...all the while putting them on, taking them off, putting them on again...all for naught!
