My first ghetto pond.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I agree! Im going to talk to my builder friend next month and see if he can get me some cheap supplies to start a plywood build.
Then maybe I can use this pool to house a couple of baby stingrays :drool:

Im assuming the RTC in your avatar is yours, what have you got him in at the moment?

I bought my RTC Sally in November and she's outgrown every tank shes been in after about 5 minutes lol. New tanks are costing me too much so thats why its pond time!

Shes a monster Moo, love the school of CL's too, where the hell did you get your dat from????

Oh my little pride and joy hehe. I was so excited to find him.
About 18 months ago I had someone come into the vet where I work, we were talking about her cichlids and she told me she got them off of a forum, she gave me the name (which I will pm you, dont really want to post it on mfk) and a couple weeks later i decided to give it a visit.
Someone was selling baby datnoids!! And in my suburb to!:nilly:
I signed up to the site straight away so i could contact the seller but there was a 2 week waiting period:irked:. So I used some dectective skills and managed to find the guys email address on another website. Turns out he lived just around the corner and had 2 dats left.
I picked the healthy one (who ended up getting ich anyway) and Ive never been happier lol.

He was only 2", completely brown and I paid 250 bucks for him. Everyone thought I was crazy. lol
