Looks amazing. Pretty jealous of you guys able to attend.

2 Questions about the photos:

What are these blue fish?

Did one of the UKAPS members create this? I would like to contact them with some questions

 

[REDSTEVEO]

Brilliant photos, jealous as hell that I couldn't go.

Can I ask anyone that did, what was the discus display like and did you notice if they were selling any livestock on the Sunday. I know the show rules stated hardware and plants only, just curious if any fish were being sold officially or unofficially.

Thanks.

Steve

Hi,

Going by the size and shape of the body and the fins, the blue fish look to me like the German bred Blue Rams (Ramirez) could be wrong but I don't think so. Google Blue Rams and see what comes up?

Hi I think I might be wrong after all, I just Googled Blue rams and cam up with this:

ps not trying to derail this thread by the way, looking very much to seeing more pictures if anyone has them

 

[somethingfishy]

think they call them electric blue rams the ones in the tank ... i have a bad memory but think that was the aquajardin display.

It was the aquajardin display indeed, and they are electric blue..

I only took about 50 odd photos, was too busy having fun and listening to the amazing talks..

Also done a video of the scapes, need to edit it and post it on youtube.

Here ya go. They are pretty tiny so its hard getting a pic of them in focus.

 

[REDSTEVEO]

Hi Shrimp look fantastic!!

Just a guess but that plant in the second picture, is that Uticulara? If it is you seem to have the same problem growing it as I do

When you bought the shrimp did you notice any other livestock for sale?

Cheers,

Steve

 

[Ian Holdich]

there was not other livestock for sale, inverts don't come under the livestock umbrella...I got some great quality Rili shrimp from Freshwatershrimp

The UKAPS Live Scaping Tanks

Hey guys,

I have some questions about aquariums at UKAPS' booth - for some reason I didn't ask them while "on site"

1. What is the manufacturer of these two LED modules used over the larger aquarium? I thought it was JBL's product, but now I can't find anything like this in their product range...

2. What species are the red Characins in the larger tank?

3. Grass-like plant in the larger tank - Echinodorus tenellus?

4. What species/variety is the reddish Cryptocoryne in the smaller aquarium? The one with darker spots on the leaves...

5. What are the stemmed plants on the bottom of the smaller aquarium? I think they might be Staurogyne repens, Ludwigia glandulosa, and Alternathera reineckii, but it's rather a guess...

(after making several vids without voice-overs, and after receiving some comments from viewers who seem to like my mumbling, I decided to return to making spoken commentary... )
