congo tetra

[Iain Sutherland]

I have wanted to keep these for a long time, so when i decided i didnt have time for a high tech 120cm i decided to set up an African communitope.
They are total bruisers now and colours are amazing, had to share.

You just reminded me why these are a favourite of mine too...stunning. Is the tank still running or have you broken it down yet?

 

[Iain Sutherland]

having never kept them before, they are more stunning than i had expected.

Still running for the moment Troi, will be coming down soon but hope to get a little video before hand.

Curious as to what bulb spectrum or combination thereof is being used over the tank.
Handsome fishes.

Hi Roadmaster, This tank runs a giesemann futura at 20%, spectrum is fully customisable but is currently an even balance at 20% with blues at 15%. I think the vivid colour are really just the congos colour, i did make a small adjustment to contrast but that is all.

Hi Iain, beautiful fish & great photography.

How many did you have? They get quite big don't they?
