I have to move here shortly, and my house is a wee bit smaller than were I live now, so I ran into a dilemma. I can either put my aquarium in the office with the computers and risk humidity damage to my gaming system (not cool) or build a new stand and have my tank sitting behind my couch. I...

Ahaha, nice! I got the tank from a HUGE Star Wars nerd. He had Vader on his 75 gallon.

Good deal. Thats kind of what I was thinking. Maybe a red and a gold? Hmmm decisions, decisions. Good thing I start my job at a fish store on Tuesday :D Bad guy sticker? Its the Jedi emblem. I think the Jedi were the GOOD guys :P

She finally cleared up! Looks great now. Just a slight haze but I think it could just be the glass tops need cleaning badly lol. The Texas I already figured on re-homing. I got them as juvies because they were $1 each at an auction and thought about breeding for Red Texas for awhile but meh, not...

Finally, I got a big tank. Well, compared to my last few anyway. I just set up my 100 gallon (72x18x18) tank, it has uber filtration, an Eshopps WD-300CS rated up to 300 gallons. Pretty happy with the sump so far, never used one before so its a nice change. And before anyone asks, the tank was...

Not sure what my parameters are at, Ill have to dig out the test kit shortly.. I JUST moved ugh! But I think I figured out what triggered the actual egglaying this time around. I added a piece of real driftwood this time and the water softened up. My little bolivian ram is BRIGHT too. I sadly...

FINALLY!!! We have eggs!!! Only took a year of trying (or missing the eggs) to get a spawn and after my tank was newly set up after moving (while all other tanks are boxed up yet), they spawned today! Now what do I do? Should I set up my 33long and move the parents once the eggs have hatched...

If only you shipped!!! Shes a beaut!

Love all the photos everyone is sharing!!! I have three juvenile Carpintis sp Escondido right now, just under two inches. Got them end of October and theyve grown about 1/2-3/4" already. Hoping to see a real growth spurt when they change tanks. Had to keep them in a ten gallon QT because I was...

+1 Just checked this with the DNR last week. And a buyer would have to retain the receipt the entire time they own the fish.

Their home... Still need a background but they seem to enjoy it!

No eggs this morning... Breeding tubes not as apparent. Left a blue LED on last night so they could see and keep defending if they did lay. Hmm... They are still cleaning the stone tho so maybe they are just waiting yet.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=itjkRILQaec&feature=youtu.be This is a video of my pair defending their territory... I just witnessed my first EVER confrontation with the syno... They've always been peaceful before.

I will post pictures shortly! I have them in with an Angelfish, 10 Bosemani Rainbows, and a "Valentine" Synodontis.

They are doing the spawning dance again!!! Yes!!! Now, what happens if I end up with babies? Never bred a fish before! LOL

Just over 4" and a group of 5. I LOVE these guys!

I came home tonight and noticed two of my geos cleaning off a stone and defending that corner of the tank. Breeding tubes/vents down and even the front of their pectoral fins got REALLY dark, almost black! These are the two most colorful of my group. So Im 99% sure they are going to be laying...

Mine didn't really color up until the 3"mark or so. Theyre all just over 4"now and coloring up nicely.

Great photos! I love finding threads about carpintis, I just got three 3/4-1" babies and just can't wait til they start getting some size!

And YES, I am aware that my tank is overstocked. Before anyone tries ripping into me, it was an attempt at planted, and when my last tank broke, I had to move the cories in. Along with a clown pleco and killifish, both of which are gone.
