The corys keep making a mess of the sand so please excuse the soil mixed up in the sand, I have a plan to fix this which I will do on my next water change.
Nice tank, I like Pseudepiplatys but they are great jumpers, and I don't think you will be able to keep them in the tank open topped.I had 2 of the clown Killifish jump out on the first day they were added
That looks great.
Curious about the "plan". Removing them?
BTW, great looking tank!
Hi all,

My Lampeye killies are super jumpers and do it for all sorts of reasons including at feeding time when they get really excited. I have a glass lid and the gap at the end has amazon floaters on the water underneath and haven't lost a single one since they went into the tank. Tis a bit weird hearing them ping off the glass though.
Try covering the gap with a bit of card to see how much shade you get, you might be surprised how much light will come in from the side and floaters will let some light through the top too.
Hi Justin,
This is a really nice looking a aquascape.
Shame about the killis, they are lovely but are good jumpers. Could you not just cut a small slither of acrylic with notches jigsawed out to fit snugly around the lily pipes which just sits on top of your existing glass cover? Perhaps even some mesh sheeting much like that used for mosses etc would work also.
Cheerio
Ady.
Hi all,
I really recommend Apistogramma cacatuoides, but they don't get on very well with Corydoras. If they spawn this is a real problem, and they may kill the Corydoras. You can keep C. pygmaeus with Apistogramma as they are less bottom orientated and make a good dither.
cheers Darrel
The Apistogramma tend to spend some time sand sifting as well, but they are lovely smart fish and A. cacatuoides is easy to keep.I was thinking about selling the Corys because they keep messing up my sand lol
What kind of light is that? Tank looks lovely and natural.
