"Prairie Lands"... job done

Re: "Prairie Lands"... The aim for final photos!

I've added 6 golden gouramis. Once they settle down, they should look OK. until then, I'll keep the rasboras, in case i go off the gouramis and end up deciding on a large shoal of rasboras.

Here's a few snaps. This will be the Aim for the final bunch of photos. I'll take more time on them of course.

It's superb, Mark! Bold choice of fish. Nice to see something else than the usual "iwagumi species".
 
Re: "Prairie Lands"... The aim for final photos!

Hi Jek. Yeah, their great little things. They'Ve settled in a treat.

Re: "Prairie Lands"... The aim for final photos!

They're lovely. :) How big are they now? They grow to about 12-14 cm, don't they?
 
Re: "Prairie Lands"... The aim for final photos!

I've lost the 2 weakest gouramis. They were a little 'tired' looking in the shop. Their now in fishy heaven.

The other 4 are fine and very active.

RIP fish.
Liking your fish choice and prefer the white background. It adds more perspective.

I did initially, though I've gone off them :?

I may revert to my old plan of a shoal of platinum/gold tetras...i can just see a 50 strong shoal :)

Something new is always good. Harlequins are too much used these days. You see them everywhere. And me myself had them for the last year. Got bored of them. Tetras is good choice as is guramis. Your scape is very fresh and unique. Dont go the same path as everyone. No to harlequins for me ;)
 
Re: "Prairie Lands"... fishy heaven

did not think you would keep the GG, did not suit the scape. Why not go for something different like Splash Tetras, Very Interesting and Amazing to watch spawn in anything hanging overhead

Cheers mate. I feel that the scape is a bit different from the 'norm' and for the first time, fish choice is important to me. I rack my brains constantly.

Re: "Prairie Lands"... pre-trim

You definitely need a couple of sheep to do the job for you.
Where's the true English lawn mate? Getting lazy eh? You could get a fine for that! :lol:

Keep up the good work mate, I love the grass, makes me hungry even if I'm a true carnivorous :lol:

Cheers,
Mike
