nice fish...a bit to jumpy for an open tank otherwise I would have the same kind.
haha no, definitely after a lively tank this time round. Great watching the males sorting the pecking order.[DOUBLEPOST=1406706265][/DOUBLEPOST]did you get neon rainbows want a serene tank?
sure are, first jumper within 2 minutes of introduction.. i have a cunning solution though ill share once sorted, currently cling film covering a lot of the gaps.nice fish...a bit to jumpy for an open tank otherwise I would have the same kind.
current thinking peacock gobies, german blue rams or an apistogamma however my fish knowledge sucks so always open to ideas...
[DOUBLEPOST=1406840169][/DOUBLEPOST]Sorry, still getting to grips with this quote thingy!Also pretty tempted to add a small group of larger rainbows but thats not because they would look good in the tank, just i think i have a rainbow fetish at the moment./quote]
I'd definitely go with more bows. Fantastic range of colours and they'll really show off their colours in a heavily planted tank. In natural morning daylight the males sparring colours are amazing. Such a choice and I'm sure Sanjeev Kumar could help advise you better. Just check out his journal for inspiration.
Stainless tubing, most people in the uk wont have heard of inox let alone know what it isone more to follow!
amazing tank, love plants and inox tubing!
very inspiring
tanks
the peacock goby was the original plan and i added some 28mm tubing either end at the back for caves... quite likely ill stick to them.
cheers for all the info michael, ive kept kribs before and would like to give some apistos a go.... maybe another tank.All three fish have great personality!
Hi all,
I like either the Gobies or Apistogramma. Rams need soft warm water and have all the problems that "Michael W" mentioned.
As long as your water isn't very hard? Apistogramma cacatuoides is a great fish to keep. If your water is softer then there are a lot of other options, A. borellii, A. macmasteri, A agassizii, A. hongsloi are all reasonably easy to obtain and keep.
could always take them out for photos al ive been spending a lot of time watching sanj's videos, easy to see how addictive rainbows can be!I wouldn't add any bigger fish mate as it'll throw out the sense of scale and focus away from the hardscape etc.
I found my praecox settled after a few weeks when I kept them.
Gobies would go great especially as they'll be all over your rocks

cheers mate, good chance it may end up being an impressive failure... the front slope which is the steepest is slipping/settling a bit. Will help if i stop mucking around with planting across that section.Another cracking scape. That's some height you've managed to achieve with the banking...very impressive.
Apistogramma panduro or A. baenschi then, quality fish.water is super soft at the moment
Necessity is the mother of invention... Honestly...the lengths we go to...Nice link Darrel, trouble is it will give me too many ideas!
My solution to jumping praecox... Bar shelf matting and some suction cups...
Works a treat and no too obtrusive.
