Talking Tank Diary

Hi,
I am going to make this thread where i will keep all my fish pics. So you will be able to see how my tank/fish change over time.
Hope you like this but sorry if im blabbing on about rubbish here!

Here is some Tank Info about the 36 Gallon:
1x Juwel 18 watt Daylight tube
1x Juwel 18 watt warm-lite tube
1x Juwel 100W heater
1x Juwel powerhead/filter system

Tank contents:
1x Angelfish
1x Gourami
1x Dwarf plec
2x Red fin tetra
2x Rainbowfish (M/F)
2x kribs [M/F] (and approx *10-15 babys*)
4x Endlers livebearers (2M/2F)
4x Bronze cory cats

Here is some tank info about the 10 Gallon:
1x Hagen 9 watt tube
1x visi-therm 50W heater
1x Aqua clear 20 powerhead with sponge attached to it
1x Algarde sponge filter

Tank contents:
(temporary conditions)
1x orange platy
4x neon tetras
3x Zebra danios

Notes

Ive noticed some behaviour going on between the kribs, the male is attacking but not eating the babys because he wants to spawn but the female needs to check up on the babys.
Also most of the java moss has somehow moved over the actual pot instead of it being just in one place, the kribs must be making a new nest.
The babys are getting some of their main stripes and they are at the stage where you can sex them. Some are cheeky and actually go off swimming around the tank into open space when the mother is somewhere else.
I think in maybe about a month or so they will certainly be big enough not to be eaten by other tank mates and maybe even sell if im lucky.
It looks asif the rainbows are preparing to spawn aswell, they are showing off to each other EVERY morning but its funny they never show off at afternoon or night? odd...and the endlers are settling in very nice now and courting sometimes. Everyone is getting along nicely now ive moved the other fish to the 10g but the kribs still have thir moments. The other week i lost one of my danios for some unknown reason, its was pretty plump and one that wasnt so active for the past few days.
Ive decided to ditch the bubbles this time and i may renew the air wall for a more neater finer one some time after the kribs have gone. I splashed out on a new GH testing kit and 6 little co2 bars for just £3.00 that last 12 months!!!! Today my lfs are getting a hagen co2 diffuser in for me so i may have a shot at using that aswell.
So here is some pictures just to see how the tank is now and the fish,


Krib Fry pictures:













Rainbows
Now this is the most clearest pic i could get of the rainbows showing off. The female got very dark/shiny grey under her mouth and head parts, the male got this shiny grey line aswell but half way through his body.



Gourami



Bronze Cory Cats
I like this cheeky pic, even though its not very good quality i think it looks funny with the little krib fry peeping out of the stones
