piggy4's grrrr tank

Post by mickthefish » Sat Jan 26, 2008 12:01 pm

hi folks, i took this vid last night as andy wanted to show how peaceful a grrrrr tank is, HA
the large barbs are Scaphognathops, the loaches are the cf balteata.
the 3 botias are morletti, S beauforti and berdmori.

hope you enjoy, if you hear someone saying the F word it ain't me.

That is the same reason I am parting with my group of 9 Filament Barbs, they are scatty enough at the best of times but when they are spawning or feeding they are mental :P

Superb vid of superbly conditioned fish! And the running commentary in the background was most enjoyable! 8)

Very restful to watch such a nice calm tank... Everyone in there seems to be well suited to it.
Your vantage point determines what you can see.

Ha ha yeah, to be honest it seems to work okay ! strangely seeing it on video seems to make it seem more aggresive than in reality , bearing in mind i had just put some chopped earth worms in and everyone loves worms !
