One of my Yoyos digging in the substrate.
Image
Two SAE pictures. These guys are algae troopers!
Image
Image
I love my cute otos
Image
These guys are just gorgeous. getting 3 more by next week.
Image
Another of my Algae Squad!
Image
This is my most distinct yoyo, Tribal.
Image
He likes to show off his graphical markings.
Image
And make funny faces at the camera.
Image
Another oddly marked one... or is it because they're growing?
Image
Here you can see why they're called yoyos.
Image
The clowns wanted in on the photo shoot so I indulged them.
Image
I found this in the bag with the Yoyos, can I get an ID please? :D
Image
This is my smallest clown, Chubby.
Image
Is it me or do those look like Japanese characters?
Image
More Yoyo
Image
Bunk buddies
Image
Not to be left out, my sterbai struck a pose... the other 5 were shy.
Image
My hooligan loach... the other 5 were mugging some poor tubifex worms.
Image
And this is my lazy clown, peeking his head out of his house.

Are these yoyos the ones you bought last Saturday, Rocco? Nice.8) I envy you with your otos and kubs.:lol:

Nice of you to follow my SAE trick just to handfeed the loaches.:roll: But you need to train the SAEs to be able to accomplish such feat.:twisted:

Very nice pictures Rocco and those Yoyos are definitely very nicely conditioned.

Wait till you see what I'll do over the christmas holidays.

We'll be working on the pond I told you guys about and at the same time, I'll also be building a river manifold for my 80g tank. (I found some nice Rio HF10 powerheads) Once the pond is ready to accept clowns, I'll move the clowns there to share with my large BGKs, set my 80g tank and cycle it. Then move my yoyos there to share it with the Pleco and SAEs and a few cories and maybe some zebra loaches as well.

My Kubs will be getting a 50g gallon tank to share with a bristlenose pleco and the rest of my cories.

My skunks will be getting a 50g of their own to share with a bristlenose pleco and some dithers that I have not decided on yet.

Lastly, for my birthday, (february 11) I'll be setting up a 45g long tank for purely hillstreams which I can sell here to alleviate the demand for wild-caught ones in my country. (I can also get some others to set up river tanks and sell their fry once they see mine) Also, my otos are going in there.

These should all be done by the end of February with documentation pictures.

so that makes it: 80g custom w/ custom stand
2 50g with double stand
1 45g long
1 10g qt
and a 75 gallon on reserve.

That should cure my MTS for about a week after its all done, wouldn't you say?

nice fish, is that an albino bristlenose plec?

Clowns-6 is a group and more is never too many, providing the aquarium is large enough.

Wow, that unusual yoyo is stunning! I wonder what it'll look like when it gets bigger?

How big are your BGKs? Are they ok in the same tank together? I love those fish and hope to have a suitably big tank one day but I heard they don't like the company of their own too much. Got any photos? :wink:

I keep a BGK with my loaches. He's always active along with the rest of the loaches.:lol: I don't see anything wrong with the combination so long as the BGK is not annoyed by the constant activity.:P

Trying to catch one of the 8" out in the open. My BGK like to hide and only come out at night. No trouble with the three fighting each other, no torn fins or anything like that. Most they do is chase around for a bit. Each one has their own hiding places and territories. Its almost like they aren't there sometimes.

Very nice fish and photos...

Hey, I wonder about the native fish: there ought to be some loaches native to the Philippines...perhaps to your area? I recall one dojo species,..but given the geographical position of Philippines one would expect more.
