Hiya wopmeister!

Is the D. diandra going to be a fairly large bush? I have only used it in smaller tanks, and often wondered what an expanse would look like.

That is one seriously healthy, vibrant looking tank you have. :D

Hi Dave, the plan with the d,diandra is to see how tall and bushy i can get it without it going leggy,as for the healthy look i am pleased to say i dont have any algae issuses at the moment (says he) :rolleyes: .
regards john.

Hi Nry,you can buy mine if you want ,regards john.
 
Great looking tank John, I have a 6 footer I am planning to setup. What substrate did you use?
 
Hi Mark,

i used eco-complete substrate,if i was doing it again i would use ada soil but what ever you use its not going to be cheap on a tank your size,i used nine bags in mine and i think ten would have been better,eco -complete is not very good for carpeting plants like HC and GLOSSO when the soil is new.

good luck with it regards john.

Not to steal johns thunder but its a Golden Ram, I think know as Microgeophagus ramirezi

Amazing fish, make sure you check the blue ones aswell. :thumbup:

John-Have you ever kept Rams with Cherry shrimp, do you think they would eat them? (Anybody got any experience?)

Normally not to bad, you see more Blue ones than gold ones.
Maidenhead aquatics normally carry them, most fish shops should be able to get you them. :thumbup:
