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

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

my only worry is room temperature may be too low for the cryp

No not yet, ill probably just leave it. I saw a malaysian website selling some creeping plant that hangs over rocks and if i see find it i might get it

considering moss, anything that can survive easily

I think i will add some moss later on

i cant wait to see pictures, will give a better idea. I think the orchids will go really well with the look of the goldfish.im pretty sure 10,000 is OK but 6,500 is preferable but im not 100% sure.

Nice, I grew up in singapore (and still have a singapore passport now) and used to catch endlers from drains. One net would get you about 100.

Thanks, and yes I have a long time ago, I used to live in singapore, its also very good for buying fishkeeping tools/fish. And aquatic plants are also incredibly cheap. I wish i could bring fish and plants back haha :(

Okay so i'm in singapore at the moment and I bought a few things for starting a pico tank I bought a couple of clip-on lights, but ill probably use the LED one as i might go for low tech I bought a tank that only cost $8, which is about £3.70. I also bought a carved granite statue. I'm...

Re: Stickleback Island Nice! Are any plants going at the back?

just an update: it now has a black ghost knifefish and a pimelodus ornatus I sold the green terror as i'd had enough of the bullying, and I am planning on selling the two male acaras as they are fighting with each other and don't like new additions. I will put in a shoal of...

oh i have a ludwigia too, i've run out of spots and whenever i throw it away i feel sad, i'll probably start giving it away on here

That tank is gorgeous, but have you considered trying the red plant(rotala?) at the back behind everything? It's just an idea, it looks great as it is

Thanks, fishwise I think i'll be adding a fighting fish and a few rasboras, or a few dwarf gouramis

Ive started setting up a tank for my grandma haha, and I'm wondering what fish and maybe shrimp to put in it. Its only 43 litres and i just started it today. The plant in the corner is very strong and is tied to wood i think it may be non-aquatic which is a problem i guess. The wood piece was...

btw i'll be posting some pics of that tank with him in it v.soon! :D

the HITH happened because of poor water quality when i was on holiday, i just didn't want him to get beaten up by the big catfish. The 600l is matured an not new, hes in there now anyway so im just keeping a close eye on him

i've decided since you've reminded me i'm now putting him in the bigger tank, and if he doenst get along with the knife when it comes itll go in the smaller tank

i am aware of that, i have had a 600l tank waiting for him for about a year, but im just waiting for his HITH disease to clear up. Its gone now, im just waiting for my new 15cm knifefish to come to go into the 600l and if he doesnt get one with it i'll let it grow a bit in the 180l, if he doesnt...

latest, with new camera:

last 2 taken with phone camera, the last 2 are ages later from the others

using phone camera

2/3 giant aquaria sealant ones lol, came to about £25 which i think is reasonable :D

thanks for the replies :D , ive got some threadfin acaras in there atm, i might move my green terror in if he behaves, im ordering a pimelodus ornatus + 5-6 green phantom plecos, they look awesome and get rid of what grows on the wood! i really wanted a large shoal but i really cant imagine...

i know ive taken a while, but i lost my camera. Here are some phone camera pics. There are fish in now but it looks about the same ill wait for a few more fish before uplaoding any mroe pics

thanks, but just to avoid any confusion, its only going to have floating plants, i have another tank thats planted but hopefully im allowed to post this fairly non-planted tank on here lol

ok, the sand is cleaned and in, ive added a piece of thin tall mangrove wood at the right hand side to cover up intakes and heater from a front view, will get one for the left later after it is filled, the 2080 i got is arriving soon then i just have to set up the filters, heaters, plop in the...

im really liking the look and id happily buy some of that rock off you :lol: one thing IMO is(i know your better at this stuff than me but i thought id just say,) Maybe some more reddish plans would look nice in the background?i know youve already got some but i just think although it looks...

thats looking really nice! Its a dutch aquascape style, right? Im not too clued up on the names of the styles besides iwagumi lol :oops:

wow i wish i had growth that good in 8 weeks!

thanks, and londondragon do you mean like all the great scapes here where the wood is going outward? Im trying that with my smaller tank but with this tanks its already siliconed in. Im only getting one 2080 and using it with an aquis 1250. Spending lots of money on substrat pro...

Ok, i have decided im getting 2 eheim 2080s(used) WHEN I CAN FIND THEM, then putting an eheim diffuser on one and masking that area with vallis on that side, and will be getting many water sprites. Will be using rena smartheaters instead of hydor inline. Once I find my eheims, the tank will be...

green terror, hes in my planted tank uprooting things, once hes moved both tanks will look better :)

Its a great idea, but im using t8s, the GT jumps and all the filter pipes and wires would be easy to spot :/

thanks all, the fish will be my GT, a knifefish, and an undecided catfish. This tank was up and runnign with great fish but i returned from holidays to find them dead, unfortunately. I was thinking amazon frogbit but maybe watersprite would give a better look actually. My main problem is...

its looking really nice cant wait for the ulticaria to grow out :D

it was sold as a tiny bulb of nymphaea rubra. It grew into about a 10cm high plant in about 4 months as it was in a low tech tank. It grew a lot faster in this tank. then when i left the people overdosed co2 by a lot and it grew really fast!

tbh id love frogbit, itd be great considerig some of the fish im getting like shade, however they would need considerable aeration as they are big, and i dont want the frogbit zooming around lol

thanks,i would but im not sure how itll cope with filter output circulation. :/ it would look good though im also thinking of painting a tree on the wall, as although if your far back it looks liek roots, when your right next to the tank you need some confirmation

:clap: that is really a stunning eyecatcher for a living room!

Using mopani with lots of bits of carved manzanita arranged around and sealant-ed. Also little tiny branchy manzanita that stays white even underwater. The ukaps manzanita was as good but different so i used it in the other tank. The mopani was heavy so i needed help and i had vto put so much...

still needs a lot of work, once the GT moves out the lilaeopsis will stop floating and ill get some HC

Re: My Frist Go at a planted Tank put a bit more wood and put some indian water fern in front. I took out and old piece of fairly flat mangrowe wood chnk from my tank it with a fern in my house in front by chance it looks amazing. Ive been meaning to do that but i think its very suited to the...

:jawdrop WOW. It looks amazing if i havent said already. Im going to buy the background for the marine tank im setting up. I know its blue photography background, bu what in particular and where exactly did you get it if you dont mind me asking? :oops: But im not joking about the set up being...

Re: saintly's manzanita scape. (to be named) thats amazing. :o whats the background? just blue background on a seperate piece of glass ?

im getting more t5s. Anyone got any ideas on what plants i should put in it?

what type of lighting is it? arc pod?

it looks great! :clap: :clap: :clap: Im really loving how you captured the water surface moving too

Im actually starting to get pleased with the look of my tank. Itll look een better once the GT moves out to a bigger tank and i can put delicate little plants in. Its a juwel rio 180. When i returned from the 2 month holiday i found a tank with brown muck on the gravel( the gravel was stupid...

your taking it down?are you selling the plants?
