don't overfeed them and clean out their tank regularly so they don't die from their own shit.

I think the fishes are very cool looking

Wow. Very well taken care of, that tank and its water.

I'm guessing you have some really high-end cleaning system in that considering the amount of money worth in fish :)

Nice!

Nice Tank :)

Not a big fan of Angel fish myself, but my grandpa is a huge angelfish fan. I just don't like how they don't move as much as some other fish species. But they do look nice and elegant.

watch out for mating season, they are very very territorial during that time, make sure you know which partner they're choosing and partition them accordingly before they peck each other to death :sohappy:

dont put it on top to warm stuff, it will typically cook the fish

Hm. Cooking a fish whilst it's swimming.

OMG, now THATS an idea.

*fires up a pot full of water*

Its got a 350g/hr filter underneath the stand, that usually takes care of everything. Bio filter inside of it, activated carbon center. Gets a weekly 25-30% water change. Once a month hit the walls with the scrubby tool. That setups bout a year and a half old.

Notice the one picture of red koi is completely different background. Shes in the 100g; her and the large 10" veil are mating pair. They've spawned about 6 times now, but every time they do she chases everyone in the tank. So I swapped her and the marble koi. They always layed the eggs on the filter intake tube, so I'd just swap the tube with the one downstairs. The other tank loves the caviar.

200 up front; for the tank, stand, two aquaclear 60 power heads, and another 350g/hr magnum underneath. Found it on craigslist, was a project someone never had time to finish. Then nother 250 in restoration, gravel, new lighting for it.

Makes me want to get an aquarium again, when I was younger I use to have a big 75 Gallon rectangle tank. It was filled half way with some bricks on 1 side and a heat lamp and stuff, had a few little turtles :3.

Thing about angelfish is when there's many, they get pretty violent. One will dominate, and the rest becomes his bitches or they die from the fight. At least that's how mine always went.

AM I the only one who wonders why he has a fishtank in his basement?

Aren't those places usually void from daylight?
