Such a beautiful tank!

What's the plants that you attached to the wood? My new tank is going to be asian themed with honey gouramis and I am still looking for plants Already got a few nice ideas (want to do grow some partially emersed too), but those you got there look really lovely

Beautiful! I find my Chocos are voracious feeders. If might be down to having competition for food but there isn't anything I can put in that they won't try. They love the food discs I have that stick on the glass, sinking granules I put in for the loach get pinched. Even plec wafers I put in get pecked at. They are also partial to red pepper. Basically anything meant for another fish gets scoffed!

Mine are very picky with what they eat .
What brand are the stick on ones ?.

 

[Lindy]

Just premium stick on glass tablets from ebay.

I think when they see other fish eating something they want to try it. The granules are ZM medium granules which are too big for their mouths but they will take them anyway and mouth them until small enough to eat.

The boldness of the pencil fish probably encourages them to try stuff. It is great not to have to feed live food all the time. Mine have also been wormed.

Evening Nelson,

Each time i look at your tank, i´m transported to my younger days when i spent days after days in the summer camping in a river here in Portugal.

Each time i look at the last picture it seems i´m being in the exact moment when i dive into the river.. and swim down there..
This is really nostalgic what i absorbe from your layout.

Magnificent!

Best wishes dear friend.

Beautiful ! Tint rules !

Looking good.
If it was my tank i would find a way to darken the sides a bit, block of the light, so the sides are less conspicuous.

Looking good, I am going to try something similar in my 12g bookshelf tank, thanks for the inspiration !
