Wow! I bet that was scary the first couple times lol
Here's a video that shows how quick the African butterfly is taken by someone on youtube. When mine saw me feeding my fish in mu 16/17g he would sometimes take one big jump across the tank lol
This is the first time my dojos have had sand. I think they are liking it. It must be like an underwater beach where they can burrow in and bask. View attachment 58828
He looks like it, doesn't he? It was a little alarming the first time I saw him like that. When I put my hand in the water to make sure he was still alive, he sank back in even further until only his eyeballs showed.
Considering that earlier this week, I found just the head of one of my late honey gouramis stuck to my filter, my dojo gave me quite a scare when I saw him like that. :shock:
I need more WCMM. I had 6 but the others died. I never did figure out why. Just the next day, gone. I think the WCMM are even prettier than neons. I really love mine. Even though I've never seen them eat. Ever.
mattoboy, I'm so glad yours eat! Even when I had a proper school of 6, they never came up to eat. They just swam around no matter what I tried. I can only guess that my 2 remaining WCMM survive eating the wafers I put in for the dojos.
Izzy, it's a lousy pic but maybe you can tell what kind of loach this is? It was sold to me as a peppered dojo loach but I don't think it's a dojo. It isn't getting any longer and it doesn't act like a dojo at all. It's really skittery and hides a lot. Sorry, it's washed out because it's on pale sand.
When it was on black gravel, it looked closer to this:
This website says it's a peppered loach, cobitis taenia.
It's certainly not a dojo loach. You're right about that. He's a real cutie, tho. As for the actual species, I can't really be sure, and we may never know with certainty. I had a "contaminate" loach species in with my kuhli loaches and was stuck between two species until the day he died.
Here's my crazy snail, I once tried to get another snail the same size and he mated with it so much the snail died D: It's been a while and I just realized he's doubled in size since I've had him, anyway I decided to get 2 more mystery snails, a blue and black. The blue mystery snail immediately goes off exploring and the black sits still.
I was surprised by how my gold mystery snail acted, before the new snails had touched the bottom his antenna where out(which he never does since he fish used to bite them) and he goes straight across the tank and immediatly starts mating with the black mystery snail within a minute of it being in the tank. The poor thing hadn't even moved yet.
New fish!
First up, koi swordtails. Okay, technically I think these are called calico or tricolor swordtails but they look more like koi to me.
Bad pics of my congo tetras. They're all washed out because of the whiteish background.
1 male, 2 female swordtails. I reckon I have half and half with the congos (these two make a total of 4).
Now go my pretties, go and make lots of swordtail babies that I won't know what to do with!
LOL, yeah, the adult snails are 3 or so inches across.hey are so fun to watch when they eat
