Thanks, i have done some research on this but just concluded that they are all from south america and generally require similar water conditions

i may be wrong, but i cant seem to find anythign to say that they are from the amazon but would hope so as then they would all be from the same river. I do hope to get a spawn i'll have to wait and see :D

yes its aqua one i'm not too sure on the exact model though

from this: to this:

Hi i do have another fully planted tank but this still has plants, please remove it if its considered not planted. Thanks

suriname

Thanks, unfortunately i already had soem of these fish in for a while, and even if i did rehome them small fish like tetras would be horrible to try and catch and there are quite a lot of caves and i'd be worried counting all of them every day, all the fish are found in suriname with the...

Thanks, they are geophagus brachybranchus and I just got them yesterday, but they have already settled in well. Its 2 wild caught parents with 3 f1 young

Thanks,im done with stocking i think theres a large gold nugget, pim ornatus and black ghost knifefish there that aren't shown in the picture. I think tetras would get eaten

Its pretty much how i want it to look like now

I agree with mark, Its awesome but is there any way of rasing the wood on the right?

Thanks for the help, I'll check my local hardware store for cable ties as they are clearly very cheap and easy to cut off :) I think I'll also look for a special foam to check for gas leaks, I know soapy water can be used but I'll probably get it if it's cheap. Anybody used them?

Thanks, i think i should use those velcro straps but I'm not 100% sure as i haven't come across anyone else using them, they may not be strong enough. Tie wraps have to be disposed each time i think, which is why I was put off gaffa tape. The o-ring idea sounds good though, but i'm just curious...

Does anyone use something like a velcro strap to replace the gaffa tape that holds the Fire extinguisher handles together? If so do you know where I could get one? thanks

Thanks,Haha that was a silly way to describe a size,i meant wendti size.I think i'll get four leafed clover and decide the medium sized plant later. If the marsilea doesn't do well i'll move it to my planted tank and get some moss to replace it
