    Unnamed Ditch

    Like I said, life can go slowly... added some red lizard cats the other day and another female trifasciata... speaking of which the original has fry, I knew she’d laid eggs but with it being the first spawn expected her to eat them before they were free swimming. Oh, the plants have grown in a...

    Unnamed Ditch

    Thanks Darrel, the new light seems to have made a big difference to growth and the moss on the stump is starting to grow in nicely. cheers for the tip re Trifasciata. There was a reason I’d been put off them as apposed to some other Apistos and I think this is it, ah well, might have to swap...

    Unnamed Ditch

    Wow, apologies for no updates. Been a little busy. so I’ve finally managed to get a permanent light and everything is looking rosier in my ditch. Unfortunately I lost one of the head standers and I’ve had a crispy pencilfish on the floor which is frustrating. good news though, my neon fry is...

    Unnamed Ditch

    Things can move pretty slowly when you’re a forgotten ditch in a rainforest backwater, and this ditch is the same. Even though not much has happened I thought I’d give a bit of an update. I’m starting to see more activity from some of the larger pencil fry (roughly 1cm long) who are starting to...

    Here are some more up to date pictures as the tank has progressed with a couple of fry pictures. mad you can see the tree stump is coming along. I’m hoping one day there’ll be plenty of the hydrocoytle flowing from it into the water. And I’m planning on buying another fry box to attach to the...

    Unnamed Ditch

    Thanks for the messages everyone, although I feel like I’m under a bit of pressure now. Excuse picture quality, I’m by no means a skilled photographer or picture editor so it’s all just IPhone. also, I know the back wall is a state, I have a very grand plan for it of covering it in a vine fed...

    Unnamed Ditch

    Hi, so where should I start? Roughly this time last year I got the ok off the boss to set up a 4ft X 18inch shallow, I’d found one locally for £70 (it’s not the nearest job but a glass box all the same) and promptly stored it away knowing I had to clear out the spare room to be able to set it...

    Ed, i'm sure you previously said that Apisto's have never been a success in this tank, what do you think has change that will work this time? i'm not trying to have a go, just curious as they are a Genus i love.
