pretty good day

[DylanJkfish]

Today was fairly productive! Got some work outside done, cleaned the house and sold a bunch of fish!! Although it was only 60$ for a pair and 7 other silvers. The tank space is all i care about haha

My fish seem to have busy as well! Got a pretty good size spawn out of my koi pair and they are hard at work!

"Get me a therapist"....LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.....great deal

[DylanJkfish]

He forgot to get ahold of me when they started breaking it down so im now just going through whats left. ;-;

Haha its true though Jon!

Now quick question for anyone!! Im wanting to use these tanks for either breeding bns,rams, or ottos. I know bns breed like rabbits but the last 2 males i had died after a couple months. Do they need driftwood to thrive?? If thats not the reason then im going to go with rams.

[Mugwump]

Yes, they need driftwood or bog wood. Their life spans are said to reduced without it. Plus...give the poor guy a break occasionally...LOL...if you're removing the cave to a separate tank for fry hatching...leave it a few extra days and feed him very well....especially if you have trios..2 female/1 male.....

[DylanJkfish]

Thanks Jon!! Great to know! Hoping he has a breeding pair/trio i could have haha.


24 hours in and there are no white eggs! Dang hes good haha

[DylanJkfish]

Haha i got all of this for free
- about 100 bags (3 different sizes)
- bottle of bag buddies
- driftwood
- 7 filters (getting more soon)

Paid 50$ for 4 tanks + stand

When i go back im getting
- air pump and pipes
- brine shrimp eggs
- more filters
- light(s)
- maybe a stand

[Mugwump]

Nice find....that's a super deal

[DylanJkfish]

Its a bitter sweet find, a friend is tearing down his fishroom (he was a whole seller) because of college next year.
