My camera does that, it auto rotates on the camera screen but when transferred to the pc they are sideways,

Normally they are the right way up as I do it all through my phone. I must have done something different.

Perhapse the tilt sensor on the phone was/is'nt working properly
I dont know then

Tanks are starting to fill. The betta channoides from lee was holding when he came up north and there are now 5 fry in the breeder box so the juvenile doesn’t eat them. I see another betta channoides tank in the future.

The first lot of betta splendens arrived today. 1 lavander male giant and female dumbo giant, a koi hmpk male and a fancy hmpk male.

Wow! Looking nice. I like the big boy nice colour in him

The lavender is gorgeous, and good luck with the fry!

Beautiful lindy, they are definitely growing on me. I can see me getting one or two when I'm sick of the shrimp.

 

[Lindy]

Thanks guys

Have moved in my established shrimp tank and set up the second.

Using an hmf powered by an aquazonic powerhead that has a air inlet so flow an o2 in one package.

The betta channoides fry are doing well

Thanks for looking.

It must be an exciting project so many tanks.....
Looking at the sponge, my baby shrimp seem to live inside the coarse sponges so if yours are coarse enough it's very hard cleaning them without killing some baby shrimp.

 

[Lindy]

I don’t plan on cleaning it for months, or as long as possible, at a time and it's 30ppi so not that coarse.

 

[sciencefiction]

I am not sure how many ppi mine are but probably 20 ppi by looking at them. I always end up with 20-ish baby shrimp in the dirty water and I am not sure why I clean the sponges because I end up dumping the water back into the tank as I can't catch them in a whole day if I don't

 

[Lindy]

Ha, yes, I have 20ppi in the gammarus shrimp tank and they actually live in the sponges and only seem to come out at feeding time.

The girls arrived today. Unfortunately one was a male pretending (badly) to be a female. After causing absolute havoc he was removed to space of his own.
Some pics of the girls and one boy waiting for his tank to get to right temp.

Also finished dividing a tank for males. Each section has water from a spraybar that has been warmed by an external heater.

Cheers

Some stunning bettas there lindy, a very interesting fish, great to see some being well cared for

 

[Andy D]

They really are gorgeous fish!

 

[Lindy]

They are surprisingly interesting to watch. The females are hunting through the leaves for food. They have a stop start motion with a sinewy glide.

Spent today making jet lifts for hm filters.

This tank will be for the liquorice gourami so very gentle flow. Jet lift takes the water right over to the other side of the tank where the sponges softens the outflow of water. Substrate arrives tomorrow. Went for swelluks limpopo sand as they say it doesn’t affect ph and is completely inert.
Bought some stunning redmoor from gre0044 on ebay again, excellent value for money.
Cheers for looking

That looks great, I like the way you've incorporated the pipe through the HMF.

Thanks. This way the clean, filtered water should trickle out the side opposite the hmf. I think when you have fish capable of jumping it is best for the foam to go right up to the glass. Really hoping to breed these wee guys
