I agree with "Lunar", certainly looks like a Bacopa, but again not too sure which one.

Goodness I haven't been on here in a long LONG time. Things have been pretty full on here down under. I've been interstate for the past 2 months also! Hope you all are well!   Recently I lost Papa Krib :( Not sure why, he just disappeared. However, he has provided me with an opportunity to get...

Wow thanks so much for all the info! I googled the breather bags and they are such a good invention! We were thinking of hiring a big van and driving the tanks and fish over. At least that way I can keep an eye on everything. Time for me to do some more googling and look at what costs I'm in...

Hello all, I'm currently looking at moving to Adelaide soon, it's about 2000kms from Perth and a 3hr plane ride. My problem is; how the heck do I move my tanks and fish?! Desperately seeking advice. I can't afford to dish out loads of money, and I don't want to sell anything. Appreciate...

Just scored a bunch of Vallis from my bf's tank. It had completely over grown, so free plants for me! Just a poor photo. Will put it in tomorrow.

Thanks :) I went to the fish shop today. So the new additions are; 5x Tiger barbs (they're so cute when they're little!) 5x Hengle Rasbora 5x Black Neon Tetra It's looking a little more full now. I took a video today, so might try to upload it sometime soon.

Well I guess I'll be making a trip to the fish shop tomorrow! I want to up my numbers of Hengle's. As promised, pictures have arrived. This is when the Bacopa's and Costata's had died. My vallis had suddenly decided to struggle like it's Monday morning as well. This is just to show how...

Well I planted the new additions today. I have to say, the quality of these plants were excellent. A much larger size then what I'm used to getting and so healthy! I'll wait until tonight to take photos, give it time to settle. Also, seeing as CO2 is produced by fish respiration, am I right in...

I've just ordered some more plants (I have an addiction I swear) List is as follows; 1x Echinodorus Ozelot Red 3x Echinodorus Amazonicus 2x Java Fern 2x Echinodorus Quadricostatus (Broad Leaf Chain Sword) They have been posted today, so they should arrive tomorrow. Seeing as I am having some...

Sorry I haven't replied for a while. I've been away and just had so much drama going on! Well the plants that I said were looking a bit sad have all died :( There is nothing left of the Bacopa and Costata. But on the up side, all the swords are doing marvelous! I've already cut off a shoot...

Ohmygoodness! Are you a fellow Perth-dweller!? Yes they have amazing beaches. So does Albany! - When the weather permits it :P

I hope so! Some of the Bacopa's are starting to do it also. All 7 of my Cory's are doing fine. I usually have a problem where one of the new group will die. But they're all doing well :D As for the rams, I was told that even without a female for Mr Krib, he will most likely kill them based on...

Shhhhh :P

It's a Hygro :) And I was thinking the Blue Rams :) Thanks very much! I've just got started this year also, I think a lot of it is personal preference, so I am thrilled that other people like what I have done :)

Well we're not off to a good start! The leaves on the Costata plants are dropping off! The ones further down the stem turn translucent and drop off :/ Any ideas?

Oh I don't know about that :P Then I'll have to order more plants to re fill that tank :P

Oh I hope so! I'm a bit stuck with fish at the moment. It's looking a bit empty. But I have no idea what to put in there. I really wanted a pair of Rams, but I don't think they're going to get along with the Krib too well. :(

Okey Dokey! Just going to post some of the progress as well, so you can see why it took me 6 flipping hours! First of all, had to get the set up right. Having the table there was SO much easier then bending over all the time! Put all my new plants into buckets. Then the pruning and...

Wow! Politics eh!? Sounds exactly like soccer. Well, 6 hours of hard work, I've finished. I'm going to wait for it to clear a bit before I take pictures. (Oh the suspense!) As for my opinion on it, it's alright :/ haha I'm sure you know by now how incredibly fussy I am! Just need to wait to get...

Thanks! If I could protect the base of the plant with some rocks, it might have a chance. But otherwise, I think I might stick with Vallis and maybe the Amazon Sword. I really can't imagine Java Fern on those rocks :/ Time to start ordering more plants ;)

Hey there! Really? Things have changed? Like what? I'm starting the mission today! Going to take me a while -de snailing everything :angry: - but hopefully will have some pictures for you soon! :)

I'm not too sure if I want to put moss on the rocks, they're just too interesting! I definitely think they are going to give a nice effect to the tank. And I will of course post pics! :)

Okay, so I have done some researching, and have come across a list of plants that have the best chance of surviving a cichlid tank. The list is as follows: Anubias (pretty much any variety) Vallis Amazon Sword (Bleheri, Amazonicus, Paniculatus) Java Fern Java moss Cryptocoryne Wendtii...

Okay so, my plants have arrived :) But I also couldn't help myself and went to a different LFS and bought more plants :blush: To add to my above pictures, I now have; I can't remember the name of these 2 :crazy: Narrow Leaf Hygrophilia and a small Sword (I'm not sure which type, I...

Amber :P Brown eyes are typically darker. In the sun his eyes are very orange/golden Sorry, I'm a bit of a nerd when it comes to Husky's haha.

Oh and he knows it!

Holy crap on a cracker! This is stunning. I wish I could get my plants to grow that well! I have a feeling I'm going to spend a lot of my day staring at this. Well done. :good:

Congrats! A beautiful tank. Could you possibly tell me what the small green plant is in the gravel at the front? I've been looking for something similar for quite some time!

Hey guys! Well I'm not sure if any one will follow this threaf any more, but thought I'd post in here instead of creating a new one. Sorry i've been MIA for a while, had a lot os stuff going on, but I'm back :) My tank at the moment is in a shocking state. Plants need to be pruned and...

Hey guys! So it's been a while since I've been on here, life has been throwing me lemons, but never fear, I'm back! Lets get into it; For a while now I've been wanting to change the 'hardscape' or 'rock' in my cichlid tank. I knew what rock I wanted, but couldn't find it anywhere. I found...

Thanks for that! Those places are a bit of a trip from me, but I'm thinking I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and make the trip!

I'm in Perth :)

Crushed :( I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to get away with it, but still, I was hopeful. I did think about the Apistogrammas, but they're pretty hard to get around here. I think I've seen 1 once! I could probably special order them, but then I'm worried I won't like the ones that come in...

Hi all! So as per the title, I have a 95L (25G) tank. Dimensions: 2ftW x 40cmH x 36cmD It's quite a tall tank with not much of a footprint which concerns me with stocking. Substrate: White sand. Filter: It's one of those built in ones. Where the filter pads etc are through the top of the...

Looks awesome!!

Thanks very much :) UPDATE: Just waiting to get some money in then ordering some Hydroctyle tripartita "Jap", and maybe another pot of Lilaeopsis novaezlandiae. I plan on moving the existing Lilaeopsis novaezlandiae into the back like I showed in the pics above, and putting the Hydroctyle...
