Hey All,

Just thought I would post some pics of my new RT pair, I bought these guys as two fish, hoping they would get on well with eachother and low and behold they have paired up and produced fertile eggs :D Unfortuntly my L168's munched the eggs :x Anyway, could be time to set up a breeder tank and get them out of the community tank.

Please excuse the crappy pics, i'm trying to get a handle on my new camera LOL.

Cheers,

Dee :D

Heya Benny,

Glad u like the RT's mate ... sheeeesh :roll:

As for the urns, I got them from this guy I know ... I can put you in touch with him, but I will warn ya mate, he's a bit of a goose ... nice enough guy, but yeah he hasn't got a clue ! Just don't let him get hold of a phillips head screw driver, nothing but dangerous. PM me for details :wink:

Cheers,

Dee.

youcan attach anubias to terra cotta pots easily. just tie it on with fishing line and they will graft on in no time at all

Hey Guys,

Thanks for all the kind words, it's appreciated :)

These RT's where bred by Rod Lewis up in QLD, so they are aussie born and bred. I actually had these two fish when they where tiny, about 2inch, and then sold them at about 3-4inch when my misses fell pregnant and we decided to move house, but didn't :roll:

The guy I sold them too kindly offered to sell them back to me a few weeks back and I jumped at the offer. I have always been a huge fan of Rod's RT line and am very happy to have them back. Luckily the guy I sold them too has taken great care of them ... thanks Dave :thumb

Here's 2 pics of them, one when they where lil bubs and one just before I sold them ... soooo happy to have them back ;)

Cheers,

Dee :)
