Great. Looks like 2 of my Johannis are getting it. Can see some white discolouration around their mouths. Any help would be great thanks..

Oh slate is wonderful! I thankfully had some in the backyard :shifty: Sounds like it's going to look real good. Can't wait to see pics!

Sounds good. That's exactly what I did :) Doesn't break the bank so hard that way.

I would up the numbers of the corys and neons :) Good shoal of all of those fish would look mint. Is the tank planted??

I personally would feel comfortable putting that many in a 5 ft. I think the size tank is for them to grow properly. Like I said, they don't speed around much. But if they get spooked they shoot off like rockets! So yeh, i'd be comfortable with 3-4 fronts and 8 lelupi. Someone may disagree...

Ghetto. Just bought the tank. No lid/glass etc. Worked my way from there as well as making the cabinet.

I've just done some quick research. I've dosed with Melafix, and put 5 tablespoons of salt in. Anyone had any success with this?

Ohmygod. It looks like he's got white stuff in his mouth. Mouth Fungus??

Hey guys, So I just walked up to my tank to do a water change, to fine my Texas hanging at the back by the filter with his mouth stuck open. He doesn't appear to be breathing rapidly. His colour isn't dark or anything. He was fine yesterday during feeding, and this morning. Here's a pic...

Well thanks for the postive feedback :) I ended up moving some things around. I moved the Hygro Stricta so they're all together in a row at the back on the right hand side. I moved the swords slightly, and the huge green plant on the right - I have no idea what it is called - but I have moved...

Especially if your tank has a good length on it. They're very slow growing, and don't move around all that much. They dont expel much energy, even when it comes to feeding. Mine usually waits for the food to float right past him. I've seen a lot of Fronts kept with Lelupis and the blue in...

270 L is around 71G. You could probably keep 2 in there, with maybe some Lelupi's? Or maybe 3 fronts by themselves.

Considering how hard it was to get the piece of wood how it is, I think I might leave it there :lol: I think the plants just need to be rearranged a bit. I left the piece of wood on the right hand side, cos the Kribs go there for breeding. But at least someone likes it :P

Okay so after some serious hours of cleaning and rescaping, I'm not happy with my end product. 1. To start off with, I was missing my Crypt Wendtii which I ordered. But thankfully they are posting me some. 2. The wood was a pain in the butt to try and position. And keep it there! But I...

AHH MY PLANTS ARE HERE! :yahoo:

I most certainly will! Just waiting for this plants to get here :angry: Then the fun can begin!

I personally love the ocean rock. But I also like alot of the other rocks available. Here's a pic of mine full of ocean rock, and one large piece of limestone. The picture isn't the best, sorry.

I had a loook at some API products today, I found the Liquid CO2, and 'Plant food'. So might give them a crack :) Sorry to crush your hopes, but I think my fish were looking forward to this particular piece of wood :P I haven't got a clue either, don't worry! :lol:

Discus and Cardinals! :D

Nooo you can't have it haha. Then I'm going to be woodless! I've read about the DIY CO2, seems easy enough, might have to try it if adding the ferts doesn't pan out so well. I'm not sure if we have "Tropica" in Australia, we might do, sounds familiar. Will keep an eye out, thanks! :) We have...

What type of filter do you have?? EDIT: Scratch that, sorry. Didn't read your post properly (I'm still half asleep :lol:) It looks like it could just be muck that's been sitting in the filter. Mine do that sometimes, but the filter should suck it back up. That's what it looks like to me...

My plants didn't come today :(

Just found this link Discus 240Looks like 240 is good.

Ohhh I'm new to planted tanks as well. Like you said, C02 system. Im just learning about ferts at the moment. So I'll pass on any info :) You could go discus? I'm pretty sure that tank would be good size for a small group. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Haha sorry! I thought they were stunning hey. What about Kribs? Lots of babies ;) Good idea, set it all up, then you might be able to picture what fish you want in there. Or you might just come up with more options and get even more confused :lol:

I think you know what I'm going to say. Firemouths!! haha Nah I dunno hey! You wanting to keep tropicals or cichlids? Angels maybe? So many options! :hyper:

Awesome! How many litres? The wood looks great. Stocking??

Could you give me some names I could maybe look for?

I saw at my LFS about a month ago, some 'gold Rams' (what they were labelled as) And they were stunning! Don't know if you know anything about them??

Is there anything I can add to the water that will help the plants remain healthy and flourish? (Without setting up a C02 system)

Pics will def be going up :) Just got an email from the place Im getting my plants. They are shipping it today Express post. So will be here tomorrow :D

Well I am just waiting for the plants to arrive. Hopefully should be here Friday. Fingers crossed. But seeing as today isn't too sunny, I'm gonna have to wait to dry that wood out before I cut it. So as soon as that's done, off we go!

Yehp. I really want to build it up at the base. Lots of bushy plants, bit of height with some extra wood. Then some Java moss on the bits that are branching out. Also just thinking now, I might split my vallis in half and put some in each corner at the back. Might create a bit of depth. Of...

Thanks :) Yeh I'm planning to put some of my larger pieces of java fern on the base of it (where it splits into 2) and I've ordered some Crypt Wendtii that I plan on putting at the base of it in the sand. And Java moss :) I've got a couple of pieces of drift wood in the tank already with...

Yep! They can't digest the fat in bloodworm.

I used to feed them bloodworm when I was younger. But then I educated myself :fun:

No problem mate. Thats what I was thinking, it would sit perfectly! the bottom of it is at a bit of a weird cut, which is going to make it difficult to position. So now I'm going to have to take it out of the tub, dry it out, then cut it. I did some research on the other plant, apparantly...

No No. Brine shrimp haha. Once the block starts to defrost, the tigers go crazy. Darting around everywhere. So I can imagine how good it would be to watch when you shoot it at them. I'm def giving this ago next feeding time!!

I know someone who has two huuuge rotties, meanest looking dogs, but they are the biggest sooks. She speaks to them in spanish (sit, stay, come etc etc) and they are so obedient. Hopefully your Dad will see what a good job you've done with your dog, and he'll begin to love rotties!

Okay so I'm thinking I want to trim the wood down. Something like this. (red section will be cut off) That way it isn't as bulky, and I can position it how I want, and hold it up with some large pebbles if need be. I also ordered some plants yesterday; 2x Java Moss 2x Crypt Wendtii 2x...
