No worries :) Thanks for that. Did a water change today. Here's some pics of what the thank is looking like at the moment. The kribs have absolutely destroyed the pebble pile, they have been digging everything out. Lots of growth on the Hygrophilias. The bit that broke off weeks ago and I...

Aww really? It seems to be going so well in the ground. The roots had actually started attaching to the sand. #29###.

:o He/She is stunning! Great fish! :)

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates! I've been super busy and super broke! I got a pic of that plant for you. I uprooted it to find it had grown heaps! New leaves :) I haven't organised any more plants as of yet. I'm waiting for the supplier to get some more Java Fern, and like I said...

Oh what the heckk. Heres my Fronty :) If verification isn't up to standards let me know. He was a bit shy today. Entry Verification

Right back at yaa :)

They look great! great addition to the tank :good:

Thanks for all the feedback. Sorry I haven't gotten back sooner. I've been away. I had read previously on the net that the minimum tank size was 65L. Hence why I thought they would be okay. Would we be able to get away with one? and some black neons. I haven't got the dimensions of the tank...

Hey guys, My partner is wanting to get a pair of paradise fish, I'm wondering if either Hengle Rasbora or Black neons would be compatible. I was thinking maybe the Hengles might be a little small with them as i've read they should be kept with larger tetras etc. But he doesn't like Harlequin...

Any of the Java fern varieties I have found work great. They don't like the taste of it. :good:

Thankyou :) They're not too coloured up at the moment. They're pretty annoyed at me for moving everything around all the time haha.

Haha love it!! Was just thinking of doing that. I'll get a pic asap. :)

Should it be attached to a rock or wood then? It's sprouted a new leaf since I've planted it :/

I would love to have the large leaf Anubias you put up, but I just can't find it! I tihnk we're pretty limited to plants here, which sucks :( I was thinking maybe the Anubias Nana on the wood on the right hand side, and java fern around it. Considering Java Fern take soooo long to grow, I figure...

Looks fantastic :)

I managed to get some better pics. So i've changed the ones up there ^^ :)

Although it is not recommended. I do actually have a large Krib in with Malawis. Though, the only reason I have him is bcause he was running rogue and killing everything in my Mum's tank. I understand about the water differences, but he's already come from a hard water environment. The...

Thanks :) The big plant seems to be doing well. I've noticed the top parts drop off, and I can re-plant them cos they have roots on the bottom :hyper: One has dropped off so far, I planted it, and seems to be really healthy. #29### about the ground covers. All I know is I need to fill that...

Pics as promised. Mystery Plant: TANK Right hand side view. Left hand side view. I was thinking of putting some ground cover around the 'pebble pile'. Thought it would fill it out nicely. As for the piece of wood, I need to get some more Java Fern, and I plan on putting the...

Okay so my Wendtii finally arrived! And I got my pebbles today. I'll upload a few pics in a minute. (Just warning they're not the best, still using my phone :angry: ) All in all...I'm still not happy haha. I'm just so hard to please :P But I think I know what I want to do. Can anyone...

Depends what type of filter you want. Internal or external. I have an internal Otto 2000. Pumps 2000L per hour. I have it in my 420L tank. It does a superb job.

Why thank you! I got an email yesterday saying my plants are being posted today! Finally! Now I can get cracking. Time to get the pebbles I think. But like I said, I'd like to get some Anubias Nana. So when I stick my hand in the tank next I'll grab a pic of the mystery "big green plant".

I also agree with the Melafix. I used it to treat an open wound on one of my cichlids. Worked great! Best of luck :)

Mine certainly does not look like that, I haven't managed to get a pic yet though. That is a stunning plant by the way, love the colour. I'm STILL waiting for my crypts :angry: Once I get them, I'm going to order some Anubias Nana I think, and get some more pebbles! :) Thankyou for your...

+1 :good:

Thanks :) It seems to be coming along nicely. Would it help if I took a picture of the roots? Would that confirm it for you. It doesnt appear to have similar roots to the Java Fern.

I honestly have NO clue about shrimp. I'm guessing they would though? I don't see why not, it's not like the neons or guppies would eat them. :/

Ive never seen other tetra's school with neons. So I'm going to go with no, no they won't haha. I had another look at your pic, as I thought then maybe your neon's were cardinals, but they are definately neons. They do grow remember. The ones at the shops are probably just younger. They will...

We posted at the same time ;) haha

Hey there, welcome to the forum! It sounds like you have been doing a great job maintaining this tank. With a small bioload in there, your water changes have been sufficient. (I think so anyway) I would certainly up the number of neons, they are a schooling fish, and like to be in groups no...

I'm willing to share, haha I'm nice like that :) Thankfully, I don't think I am over dosing. I haven't had any algae. I've stopped dosing for a couple of days, and then will continue with half doses as you suggested. Java fern is still dying though. Very slowly. Well I think it's dying. And...

Thanks, I'll give that a go. Some of the leaves are just falling apart now. Not happy :(

I totally agree! I have them myself :D

Haha, glad it wasn't just me :)

Sorry! Totally forgot the other part of your post. But yes, as nurglespuss says, a school of at least 6-8 will minimise the aggression.

Your picture isn't crappy, I just wasn't 100% sure haha. But it's got to be some kind of barb :)

Has anyone noticed that these are not Harlequin Rasbora's, but are in fact Hengels Rasbora??

I think he may be a mossy barb. Please don't grill me if I'm wrong haha. But certainly looks like a type of barb.

Welcome to the forum! :)

They deffinately are big, they grow fast. I haven't experienced aggression though.
