Here are a few close-ups of the
75 gallon tank.
Green Severums.
A shot of the Green Severums when I had everything in a 30 Gallon tank.
Brown Teacup Stingray.
Sorry about the photo quality. It's sort of hard to get good detailed
close-up shots of them, exspecially when you think you have one speed
film in the camera and then later you find out it was a different speed!
A newer shot of the rays.
I'm working on figuring out how to photo them better.
My Sharks and Arowana.
Since I put the Power Sponge Filter in the tank (May 21, 2000), the
Motoro and the Arowana have been swimming directly into the current for
hours every day.
June 22, 2000 - The Gray Teacup Stingray died.
July 22, 2000 - The Brown Teacup Stingray died.
January 27, 2001 - My Sharks have had a fungus on them fore the past
couple of weeks. One Shark died about three days ago.
This evening I went down to check on the rest of my fish and saw that
the Shark's eyes were gone. I suspect that the Green Severums pecked
them out.
January 28, 2001 - Went down to check on my fish and the Shark was dead. |
