You’ll want to use a hardwood dowel, softwood isn’t really good for aquariums due to the speed at which it breaks down. You could also use 304/316 stainless steel screws! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s just a trade name, probably labeled because someone thought it resembled robocop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

L. aura is a fish from the acidic waters of Southeast Asia, most commonly found in blackwater. It’s a rather rare fish and really pretty! Great find! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m sure that if it was extremely densely planted and filled with other fish it could work out! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had this problem a long time ago when I kept domestics, I believe I treated with 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt to 5 gallons of tank water. If I were you, I’d spend a little extra this month on buying distilled water, the low pH of the water is very alike to the native habitat of Bettas. In...

Steven has confirmed that they’re Inlecypris auropurpureus! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay perfect! If I had that info from the start, I would’ve been able to give a better response haha! I’m personally not a fan of Anubias but some types can look nice! I recommend picking a majority of green stems with a couple red species to add focal points. Obviously all stems are similar in...

I really enjoy your scape! I’m digging the stream bed look, if it were my call, I wouldn’t use aquasoil and barely plant it to replicate hillstream habitat. However, it is your tank! Are you aiming for this tank to be high maintenance with stems? Or are you looking for some easier to maintain...

Sorry, this’ll be a low tech tank. Specs: -45 gallon bowfront -sand substrate supplemented with root tabs -will have a canister filter, not sure what model yet -LED floodlight (100w, 6500k) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I find I rather do like the crowded look, and multiple rocks, I’m planning on having them covered in green algae. I do hope the plants will add to this scape. This won’t be a “norm-conforming” scape as I will be utilizing some botanicals to replicate a more naturalistic setting. I wish I did...

Thank you. I’m not too worried about seeing that one, it’s really just meant to stabilize and secure the branch up there. I also did some more tweaking: For plants, I’m planning on a aponogeton in the left corner, some swords and crypts in the mid ground, java fern ‘trident’ near the base of...

Improvements I can make? Picture is a bit dim cause I don’t have the light on it yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can attest to the meat eating aspects in O. macrospilus. I used to have a group of ten and when I fed the tank, they would all take bribe shrimp and eat them! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can just buy brine shrimp eggs and hatch them to feed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Haha that sounds possible! I guess we need time for the scientists to probably categorize them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
