tank now FULL!

[jluna]

hi guys, here's some new pics - i bought a new pearl pigeon from SLS yesterday (and boy, if she grows up to be anything like the adult they've got in the shop i'll be happy!!) so i've now got 8 in the 360 litre tank - 2 blue turqs, 2 blue snakes, 3 blue diamonds, and the pearl, plus 14 rummies and 2 bristles...

enjoy!

Could you tell me about the background wall? Real, polystyrene, or picture?

I've been looking for exactly that effect.

Justin,
That pearl pigeon looks familiar, hehehe i got one from SLS aswell he had exactly the same markings as yours. I also got a snakeskin that looks the same as yours too, and the blue diamond but they all look alike.
Its like looking at my tank!! nice choice.
Those pearls should turn out awesome, but mine gets picked on a bit at feeding time by the BD but he still gets a good fed.

Anyway good luck they are great quality fish..

I'll check some of the LFS around here. The normal ones I go to only have plant backings, but I'll remember to check the backs. My tank back is 48"x18".

Any chance of a wide shot of your whole tank?

Maybe give George at G&S a call, get him to have a peek at this post, and see if he can help out, or get it in...

chris, there's another post in this forum from me called "new setup in 6ft" - you can sort of see the effect of the backdrop there.

Thanks jluna you've been a big help.

I ended up getting something pretty similar from G&S for about $3.50/ft. It's a rock wall, but appears slightly lighter in color. It's 19" high btw. Also remembered to get my 10% Discusforums discount :D
