they got really big and were out of proportion with the rest of the tank. I would only recommend them for super big tanks. Also they ate a lot of shrimp. I exchanged them along with some 25 sterbas corydoras (all born and raised in my tank) for 40 red phantom tetras and 10 black phantom tetras -...

beautiful tank! Both trimmed and not!

Thank you. They are perfect carpeting plant for a bigger tank as you can trim them right back. Thank you. All filters are on in the video. I have arranged the two filter outlets in a way that they create a gentle but powerful clockwise circular water movement in the tank. The left back side...

Thank you again. There are many, many shrimp - hundreds. Red phantoms occasionally hunt down one or two. I would say on average they perhaps catch two a day. I also have about 5 or 6 Amano shrimp. They are the senior citizens of my tank - all at least 8 years old (I haven't bought any for the...

great tank. agree about the lighting. any updates :)

wonderful!

I like both of them. Great tanks!

Thank you so much Robert. One good thing about a long term and low maintenance project is that it will look presentable even if you sometimes don't have the possibility to do your weekly maintenance. I've been away a few times for up to 3 months at a time and the tank is ok when I return. I...

Thanks again. That light is produced by three R16 warm light led spotlights. They are evening lights and come on after the main lights go out.

Thank you very much. The tank is virtually the same as it was 2 years ago. I only moved some anubias var. nana in front of the Java ferns on the left side of the tank. Also, as the numbers of trigonostigma hengeli have dwindled down over the years I got 40 red phantom tetras and 10 black phantom...

Today I got a surprise - found this little baby red phantom tetra in my tank. The parents are only about 7 months old so I hope I will keep finding more of the same in the future. Really chuffed

What a great journal and tank. Wonderful!

Wow. Two years have pased since my last update. So here's a new pic from today Thanks so much Robert. As you can see I've made some changes. The anubias, as lovely and healthy as they were, were getting too big for the composition. I replaced them with microsorum windelov about 6 months ago...
