Winter Projects
Posted: Thu Dec 31, 2015 9:03 am
I usually try to pick up something new or do some new tank theme for the long winter months. This year I have setup my young frontosa in a 100 gallon tank with a few friends. I have wanted to have a frontosa tank for some time. Just an interesting African. In a 90 I have some new to me American fish. I got a group of vieja fenestratus and chocolate cichlids to grow out and spawn. I spawned chocolates once before but lost the spawn to predation, On a smaller note I setup a frag tank with red freshwater shrimp and dwarf crawdads. Setup a salifin mollie tank with a couple of color variations and a saltwater shrimp tank. Those should entertain me through the cold weather. No need to be bored when it is cold outside if you love the fish hobby. I would like to grow out an MBU puffer but have found them to be hard to get started. They seem to come in with a lot of parasites and even though they grow to be a fairly large freshwater puffer they are hard to get past a year. We will see.
