Re: Tanks side by side

["Max Gallade" <mgallade@hotmail.com>]

John,
I used to set up my tanks like that, too.I paint three sides of all my 
Apisto tanks with a flat black paint now for photography reasons.This gives 
me less flash reflections and a better depth in the photos.I still have the 
need for dithers in some of my tanks.
Unfortunately,my darn camera is out for repair since beginning of April.
I got all those gorgeous new fish ,some with babies and I can't even take 
pictures of them.It drives me nuts right now.

I have my tanks set up in racks with the tanks set up end to end....
with the end facing out.. giving me the maximum amount of tanks i can
get into a smaller space rather then setting them up long ways so i can
see the whole tank.

Max...... i leave the side walls between the tanks clear so that pairs
can see the fish in the tank next to them... this does make the fish
"Guard" their fry a little better..... its neat watching males flare at
each other thru the glass walls...I use several flower pots and
driftwood and plants like java ferns in each tank to provide privacy for
breeding but on a whole you can see into each tank from the tank on the
side....I will actually set up 2 or 3 pairs of the same fish in a row so
that males can see eachother and help guard fry with the females.
I presently have MacMasteri and Viejita II all set up side by side.   It
is kind of neat to watch all these similar fish swimming in side by side
tanks.

John
