Victorian Tank
My Lake Victorian Aquarium
This is one of my DIY plywood/glass tanks. It is 36 gallons with rocks I found and a cichlid sand/ black beach sand substrate. In it live my colony of breeding yellow belly Haps. They are quite happy here. Two males have split the tank into two seperate territories (see them squaring off below). They currently have all the females holding. One is ready to let the fry start swimming. Need someone to take some fry off my hands soon.
All victorians given away to good homes. This page will stay to show off these beautiful fish.
