You're not alone autophotos, I didn't find anything at all on there for my location either. I don't think it's as big here as in the US. I think eBay works better here than in America, and so they have Craigslist over there that works better for them.

yeah - do we have an aquabid -? ??


ps any one got any ideas on plant fertiliser - which is the best etc ?

some more pics of the dp mansion lol and a couple at the end of the fig 8s , need some mela/primafix to try and help sort their tail fins out

in the dp mansion i now have 17dps , 1 unknown shrimp - he was free - 5 bb gobys

very pretty pictures. how do you get them so clear? it almsot looks like you have an underwater camera, but i think those are really expensive.... all the pix i take of my DP kinda suck, and even my fahakas pix dont come out very clear sometimes i would love to take such gorgeous pix, btw, are all those plants real? they look very nice.... UGH ur a better photographer and aquascaper than me.... i look like such a guppy in comparison lol

Nice-looking tank but how are you going to clean under all those big rocks?

Your DP mansion is absolutely beautiful! The plants made it come alive, and you've done a really good job of it. I think those DP's are pretty darn lucky to have such a nice home. Good for you!

the tank is beautiful!!! ur gobies are much braver than mine lol mine wont vnture anywhere near the puffs now!!!

Wow the tank looks great! Those DP's are so lucky. And beautiful fig 8's too!

cheers for the comments guys- ps im a photographer by trade -

those rocks/slate etc arent that big so cleaning should be easy i hope.

yes plants are all live for the time being. and hopefully will stay alive although some plants will thrive and others die so will just replace the dead ones with the same type that live instead

Before I read your response (above), I was going to make the comment that you ought to be a photographer! And now I can see why you are! You are very good, the photos don't even look as if we're looking through glass, they are that clear. Heck, I always seem to have either water marks on the glass, or algae on the inside that blemishes the photo. I'm always envious of the fantastic photos that people show on here, and mine always come out looking like crap.

not alll my photos come out great - lol

As with most photographers - you shoot - and then select what you want -


With the fish as you most prob know they move so quickly that getting and keeping focus on them can be a nightmare -

For me, it's not so much the movement of the fish, even when they are perfectly still my photos still come out really badly. I went and bought a new camera, a very nice one, but I still take crappy photos! Do you give classes as to how to take better photos?

Question - aren't those BBGs brackish?

There's been some articles lately, over here at least, which talk about Bumble Bee gobies being freshwater, whether they mean fresh by nature, or existing in fresh, I'm not sure. I've had mine in freshwater all along and they are very bright and beautiful. Most LFS's keep them in fresh (although I know that's not really saying much).

There was a good article in Practical Fishkeeping, and I'd refer you to their site, only they were hacked into a while back and they shut down their site after that. I subscribe to their magazine too, and could maybe find the article that way, but it would take me a long time to find that particular magazine.
