Hello MFKer's :ROFL:

I simply get a kick out of saying that. One of the only places I can say that and it does not mean a bad thing :D.

I been sitting back for some time doing my fish paradise and thought I would consolidate all my threads into one new thread and post up my tanks as they are on the day that I take the pictures. Rather than revive old threads I thought I should just start one new one.

At present I am running 13 tanks, though had I not had to deal with some things I would have had my fish room up and done by now, as well as my greenhouse tropical paradise.

So here we are a few weeks into 2011 and I finally did myself what I call a flitter tank, which will be the first one that I post up. It is a 4 ft 65g that I was using to grow out some fish which I just moved to my restaurant.

So I decided finally I was going to make it a tank for my kids to be able to watch. The Stocking is not complete and will take me a month or so to complete.

as a grow out for a pike, some dolphins, and some splendins

I moved the fish when I figured the pike had gotten big enough to not be harassed in the 90g at the restaurant. Also I figured since he had decimated all the smaller fish it was time to move him before he got to the medium size ones.

Here is the tank redone, not much changes decor wise but stock wise.

My camera skills really suck so the pics of the fish are not so good.

In the tank are 5 rasabora, a bunch of .18 feeders nice white clouds and a few albino white clouds, 3 bumblebee cats(3 inch), 1 black skirt tetra, 5 long fin rosy barb, 6 neons, 3 baby panda cory cats, 6 splendins

My plan in the future for this tank is to let the fish grow to maturity and then do up my 140g tall at the restaurant as a big tank with small fish.
 
well, I thought I would do a little update on the flitter tank and post up a couple of other details for the thread.

It seems that some of the flitter fish can not flitter fast enough. I was offered a chance to get a certain fish for $50 and I just could not pass it up. Yet, the population in the tank is decreasing a little because of it. I find how they tent their front to entice a fish to investigate the cave interesting.

My first try at one of these, I simply could not pass it up for $50. I am going to move it to one of the tanks at the restaurant but have to figure out which one. It is a male and the guy who breeds them in town says he will have a few others ready in a couple of months, he has 2-3 different kinds of them, yet, I have no idea what they are called.

I am going to start a grow out thread for all the babies I have been growing rather than put them in here.
 
welcome to mfk simon, being a uker I would see the humour in that and you describe a game me and my kids play all the time.
