Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I’ve got mostly shop lights but also some led Spot lights like MD Fishtanks uses and some Aquaneat and Finnex. All grow plants but the aquarium specific lights make the fish look better. They all produce algae! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted February 13, 2022 Author Share Posted February 13, 2022 Got enough interested buyers of these that I’m going to start “mopping” again, albeit from inside the 33-gal. colony. Daily checks seem to somehow trigger spawning activity. I’ve reset the 2.5 gal. for hatching out fry as before. Single “nurse-droid-neocaridina” added to purify the eggs, and defend against storm troopers. Bring in on! This is the way… 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Faithful guardian-nurse! Hoping for a hatch in a few weeks. Basement is cold. Might be a low count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 Scheeli are growing out in the little 2.5 gal. here. Maybe 6-10 of them… And a few survive in the Colony, though many do get picked off… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted May 14, 2022 Author Share Posted May 14, 2022 (edited) Well . . . time to start moving the F. Scheeli. Took me a while to get a photo I liked... Finally I took a few more shots, and selected this one for posting online... I took a little video of this pair too, but don't know how to post it on the auction site I'm using 🤷♂️ Let me hasten to add! These are in my new ACO Specimen Container. Very nice. Clear. I'll be reserving it to photograph fish in. Edited May 14, 2022 by Fish Folk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need like... 6 more😁 One for every tank, plus 3 dedicated to photography (so I can set up trios and not have to put up the equipment to catch fish between shots. Just catch all 3, put each in a container, get the photos, and be done!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Folk Posted December 3, 2023 Author Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) A pleasant surprise: I sold these two young pairs of Fundulopanchax scheeli to a CARE Forum member just a couple weeks ago… Now, all these fry are hatching out of the java moss in their tank… I love fish babies!!!
