Testing Out The Cone Eh?

[G-1000]

I recently stumbled across my albino female, playing around with my blue knight! She is fooling with someone elses man! Still - thought I would show pics of her cleaning the cone etc...

Hehe ...

Nice fish G !

Just wondering what are those two white tubes at the back of your tank ? Can be seen clearly on this pic "Albino Prac 3.JPG".

Hey V,

Thats the inlet pipe from the canister (i didnt attach the plastic tubing to it). I aim it at the airstone so that the water current is slower.

fantastic looking fish mate - what is your WC regime and what parameters do you try and keep ?

Ummmm w/c routine would be around 10% each day (to suck out the poo and stuff on the bottom). Then usually another two 50% changes each week.

Conditions are 31 degrees. pH around 7.2-7.4

At the moment my nitrates are quite high (around 30 or so), but once I clean out the two canisters it will be back in its normal range of 5-10.

Ammonia and nitrite are 0 of course. And I dont use buffers atm - although I will soon (I am going to try to breed the albino with that spotted snake).

G'day G,

Great pics mate !

Nice healthy looking stock you have there ... well done. I really like your Albino and "Blue Knight", would make a very interesting cross IMO. Best of luck with your breeding programe mate, keep up the good work !

Cheers,

Dee :D

Ian,

Crocky's albinos are from Ladyred (Merrilyn) - I am not sure where she got her albinos from. My albino is from SLS in sydney - however it can be quite difficult to get albinos of this size imported atm .

The ones i have here are not from sls.
