Ken Dyer Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 Broke out the little 3" disk saw with the abrasive disk, the saw horses & clamps, and set off to Home Desperate for some poly carbonate siding & drawer pulls. After multiple adjustments and finally settling on "good enough" ended up with tops for the 5 10 gallon tanks in the room and an actual top for the 75G that wasn't comprised of off cuts from earlier projects tetris'ed together. Ended up moving the longfin cherry barbs into the newly planted 40B as it was hard to appreciate them on a bottom row tank and I must say, DANG! they are beautiful against a dark substrate. They thought so as well as they spawned within about 4 hours of being moved so had to move the mop into one of the new 10's to see if we get anything. Expectations are low as the tank is only 1 week old so no good mulm/biofilm for fry but no action means no success. Poor action is at least better than zero 😉 Will snap some pictures and upload hopefully after work today (especially if the cherry barbs want to flare and dance again for me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dyer Posted November 23, 2020 Author Share Posted November 23, 2020 The updated and now planted 40B. Plants have a ton of growing in to do and may add some dwarf sag up front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I love them long fin cherry barbs, I had got some last year from a local breeder at a convention, and had wanted to put them outside this past summer. I set the tub up, and put them outside, not sure what happened, but all I had left when I cleaned tub out for winter was one female. I hopefully can get some more one day and I'll try breeding them in my basement fish room 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Dyer Posted November 24, 2020 Author Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yeah I bought these a year or two ago from petco as an impulse purchase and have never regretted it. Such pretty and happy little fish. Wouldn't be sad to make more of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
