2016, future plans
I thought I would talk a little bit about what is going on in the fishroom right now, the thruth is that it's not that much.
As I am in the process of moving (which takes forever) I have had to sell off many of my beloved fish and most of the tanks, this has not been fun but at least it was for the best of the fish.
The fish that are left have been bundle up in temporary community tanks which has put breeding on hold too.
I'm however not throwing in the towel, far from it, as soon as I'm set up again I will slowly start up tanks again.
The plans for 2016 include:
- 1-2 tanks for Ancistrus claro, lda008: This species has for many years been the holy grail for me and I was lucky enough to aquire a wild group earlier this year. They are still young and reside in a large community tank. The plan is to divide the group in two, kept in species tanks
- 1 tank for the spotted version of Peckoltia compta, L134: I have sold off most comptas but I did keep the spotted ones from a separate import, they are still young enough so I'm not hoping for any spawn this year but they deserve their own tank.
- Try to hunt down a couple of Ancistrus "Rio Paraguay" females from my love hungry male, he's been waiting for too long the poor thing.
- New photo tank, with my camera back from repairs this seems like a no brainer.
- Start building up a really large group of Corydoras for a future display tank.
- Trying my hand on a optiwhite display tank.
- Whiptail catfish, say no more.
- Finally I want to do something really different. Most of my tanks are natural or functional, usually a combination of the two. I might have a go at doing something outside of this template. Something that will make most biotope fans cringe:)
