Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 16 Week Old.

Those Apistogramma Trifasciata look realllly really cool, so do you have 3 different types of Apisto's now?
Tbh I think its a little over stocked, all those neons AND 2 sets of apistos,

Tanks looking good though so aslong your keeping wc in check and cleaning the filter ect you should be ok.

Give up on he hc man, glosso would of filled that tank twice over by now haha.
 
Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 16 Week Old.

Hi all,
I really like Apistogramma trifasciata, I kept them for a while, and they are great fish to keep. The reason I eventually sold mine was that the fry weren't a great seller (I have no idea why, they are a beautiful fish with the most amazing turquoise sheen, but I think in the LFS they became a fairly drab silver/grey and didn't sell), and the males are very aggressive to one another, even when they are sub-adult meaning that I quickly ran out of tank space. Because of this I think you may have trouble with 2 males, the other problem is that they are harem forming, and the male will harass a single female relentlessly when she isn't ready to breed.

Hi Krish,sorry to be so up front but i think your setup and plant,s would look 100% better if your husbandry was a bit more regular,the algae on the glass spoils your pics,

good husbandry makes for better and more pleasing viewing,

Hi Nayr,

Only 1 type of Apisto now the Viejita was having a midnight snack on my shrimp I've founded out. I do 3 water changes a week and the tank is well matured, but i should stop adding fish now. I know I should give out on HC but I'm stubon and always wanted a HC Carpet.

Hi Darrel,

Yep I see why many people wouldnt buy them at there lfs because mine to were drab and dull but when they mature the look stunning. I have not noticed any aggression between the fish, only "flaring" then on backs down and swims off. I founded that my two females stay together and hide in the rocks.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi John,

No problem with being up front, it helps me too impriove the tank and get onto the chore i'd been dreading. But you are right the algae does spoil the view of the tank. I have tryed to clear most of it now.
Anyone have any tips on cleaning GSA/reducing it?
Thanks for the advice.

I have ordered some narrow fern which will go in the right hand corner.

Thanks for looking,

Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 17 Week Old.

Woah woah woah!! Where's the P.helferi gone 😀

PLEASE tear out the hc, and try glosso itd suit the tank and would be a really lusty carpet by now. The tank looks really brown, is it something deffusing the light on top of the tank doing it?

And when can I expect to see some your moss trimmings on the for sale thread haha.
 
Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 17 Week Old.

Absolutely love this tank, exactly the kind of look I want to go for. Agree that you should give up the HC though. About to do the same myself. BTW did you use zip ties to tie all that wood together? Assuming you used glue too?

Hi Everyone,

Day 155
IMG_9481.jpg

HC and Blyxa is added.
I was wondering if i should cut the HC down abit since it is abit tall?
The blyxa came in a bit of a bad state and started to melt, hopelly its will recovery...
Just wondering thought does blyxa melt because it needs to get used to its new enviroment?

Thanks for looking,
Krish

Re: Krish's 60cm Rescape - 22 Week Old.

I dose easy carbo if I see some spots of this algae near glass
I always inject a bit carbo and water 1/4 and dose this in substrate where algae is
