Pic's of my tank..
Hello..
I've just uploaded a small site with some pic's of my tank.. http://web.onetel.net.uk/~kennyhorn/myplantedtank/ The pic's aren't great, this is the first time I have taken pictures of my tank.. I found it really difficult to get enough light into the tank so the shutter speed is a little slow in some of them!! notice the blurred fishes!! Digital camera's are great for speed but ya don't seem to get the functionality/quality of a proper SLR unless you splash out loads-a-money!! I can't really be bothered spending loads of time designing the site so it's pretty basic.. but ya can at least get an impression of the tank.. The tank is 24x12x12.. with: 1 Platy (The other 3 died!! a while ago) 1 Bumble Bee Goby (I think it's about to die.. can't seem to get it to feed!! and advice?? I've tried flakes, brine shrimp, daphnia, blood worm.. but no luck.. he's now lookin rather sorry and concaved belly!!) 2 female Siamese fighters, 1 male (a little bit chewed by a rather aggressive female.. but she knows who's boss now.. took a good few months for her to stop chasing/biting him!! long story!!) 3 cardinal tetras (had 8 but they've died off!! ) 2 green sword tails (1 was female but she changed to a male, guess the other male wasn't much competition for her!!) and a catfish (it's a hypostomus plecostomus, sorry about spelling, can't be bother lookin it up!! :) I had a better, more balanced selection of fish although a few have died over the past months and I haven't been bother replacing them as I'm about to move flat's.. so there doesn't seem much point, until i'm settled in my new home!! As for the plants: Aponegeton Crispus.. doing really well with loads of new growth/buds (notice at the front of the tank!!) Java Fern tied to bog wood Cryptocorne nevelli & wendetti (i think) Hygrophilia Polysperma (not doin as well as I'd hoped.. Think I need more light only 1 15Watt tube which is rather old!! I found the tank in a cupboard of a flat I moved into!! good find!!) Malaysia Sword (at least I think that's what's it it's.. it's a fantastic grower.. now about 5 times bigger than when I bought it!! and is growing out of the tank!! fantastic!!) Hope you find this interesting!! Cheers, Kenny |

Oops!!! Thanks.. and my excuse is:

Hello.. thanks for lookin at the pic's..
The yellow and black fish is a Bumble Bee Goby (can't remember or find the scientific name!! think it starts with an "X" :). They are supposed to prefer brackish water but seems to do fine in my tank, however I'm having real trouble getting him to feed!! I've also heard they're fairly solitary and don't do well in numbers above a few!! (say 1 or 2!! unless, I suppose it's in a big tank??). Ooh and they like a wee hidey hole or cave.. like a small plant pot to call home. Only recently has mine started coming to the front for the tank, guess he hungry!!

Hello.. Thanks for the feedback..
Initially I didn't think the images where that big.. however I've just re-saved them using Fireworks, rather than Photoshop and got far better compression to quality ratio!! so they've been re-uploaded..

He may not be feeding because he is in fresh water and not brackish. That's not fact it's just a possibility that might be worth looking into. "Kenny Horn" - wrote in message ...

Hope you find this interesting!! Cheers, Kenny Nice tank and pics. As the others have said, your Bumble Bee goby maybe suffering in the freshwater. He can't really be doing fine if he isn't eating. I think it would be happier in a brackish tank. Let us know how you get on. Cheers Rick http://www.aqua-maniac.co.uk |

I would suspect it being a very good possibility. When we had the pet shops, fish that prefer brackish water, were kept in brackish water tanks. If that were the case with your Bumble Bee Goby, comming out of a salt tank, to a salt free one, might have trigered a hunger strike........ Frank |

Thanks for the replies concerning my bumble bee goby not feeding..
A few people had advised me that it would get on fine in my tropical tank.. Achh well.. a lesson has been learnt!! Would he be happier in a Malawi setup?? or would that be considered too salty??

I think Bumble Bees do actually ok in FW. The thing is, that they don't eat
flakes. Try some bloodworm on them. Most Bumble Bees never eat flakes, some learn over time. |

Nice pictures. Agree that digital cameras are great but also have
drawbacks - flash is one. I am using both my new digital and my older film camera. I found that film + processing only - no prints is about $5.00 US. I then scan in the negatives using my HP scanner. So I only miss the instant gratification but I get the advantages of the SLR. Mine is a 15 year old Canon EOS 650. 30-100 zoon. I added a set of close up lenses. The canon flash does through-the lense metering. got a special cable to allow me to move the flash off of the camera shoe. Also, you can get slave flashes that still allow through-the-lense metering. I tried pictures of fish 35 years ago. Boy has technology changed! Bob "Kenny Horn" - wrote in message ... Hello..
