COVID canned any plans we had in place, but Committee is now looking at getting a swap meet happening for our next meeting.

We will no longer be having the meetings at Atwell College, and hope to secure something central to our members. 

I tried to book a hall in South Perth but it's fully booked on Saturdays at the moment. Any updates will be posted on the Facebook page as well as this forum once we lock something in.

They posted pics on their Facebook page tonight

I’ve always wanted to keep Tropheus but never have. Nice looking fish

During my mandatory Bunnings trip with Mini Me today, I decided to get a paint, a roller, masking tape, and a roller tray. I thought it would be cool to paint the back of a 4 footer I have running in the garage. Previous tank I used an adhesive film and didnt like the end result. This was about the same cost, and I think the end result looks a lot better when looking in to the tank. Heres some photos:

Tools for the job. The small pot of mistinted paint was only $3! Supposed to be white but its more of a light pink


And the child slavery.... oops I mean art project begins here. I taped up the edges with masking tape and let my daughter have fun with a paint roller


And then a few minutes later, the tank is painted like so


Doesnt look overly schmick from behind, but looks great when looking in to the tank from the front, which is what I want


Undecided as to whether we will do some more coats. Im pretty sure that the paint will scratch off easy, so will try not to scratch the back of the tank with anything.

I have two pairs of block heads, each in their own 4 foot tank with fry and I would like to move one pair on to free up space for other fish. $50 for a pair, pick which pair you like out of the two. Comes with cave they spawn in. Pick up from Hammond Park. Can PM photos


And don’t mind my bad spelling of the fish names

Seals need the lube

they ended up saying to go for the extra thick polystyrene rather than foam 

Well I must say that Im very impressed with the crew at foam sales. I had a quick scab of the good guys skip bin with no luck, so went to foam sales in booragoon. I told them I need an underlay for a 4x2x2 and they recommended the thickness and cut it to the exact size for the princely sum of $8.

Thought this was a post about soapy massage recommendations in Thailand

I like the dark background.

I've never been a huge fan of moss. I really like bolbitis. Easy to grow and looks great.

I ended up going to Aquotix to get this sorted.

Well tomorrow I’ll sort new lids for this tank, then will give the glass a good clean with white vinegar and a sponge. Then after a final rinse I’ll have a go at putting this background on. Will post photos once I’ve done it (unless it looks really bad).

And the pin heads are cruising around the tank now
Will need to set up a tank just for them
