thats what the HC is for, once i get taht to carpet it should blend in a little more i think, if not i'll switch the two as the other one isnt as bold in the lines maybe?

More then likely these fish will benefit 1:2 M:F ratio like most other fish. This may reduce the "sparing" behavior between males.

Well I have an update! As I sit here after after a couple pints of Strongbow, I'll try not to lather on too much. Appaerently its been a long time since I updated the journal. My betta, George has since passed on. There are now some Orange Bee shrimp in there. My plan is to have shrimp only in...

quick update, added a little more HC. they did a big pruning adventure in the show tank so i snagged the clippings. ill take some pictures once its grown in a bit.

those rasboras are great! i should try to get them at my work!

ya, I'm going to see if they will let me clip some off and stick it in here. the lighting might be a little low to get it growing really well but the algae is kept down on the other side of things as well.

well been a while since i updated. I started a new job in the fishroom at my local Big Al's! this has left me with first dibs on alot of new stuff thats coming in not to mention the discounts. I have since added a couple new plants to the tank too. pretty soon this tank is getting some flourite...

algea and confusuin generally go together. or atleast in my case. tank looks nice sam keep it up.

looks nice, any plans on a foreground plant? personally i think that not every tank needs a foreground lol

no meds used, just all natural recovery. i litteraly had zero dollars in my account so there was no chance. but on that side of things, i now work in the fish room at my local Big Al's! lol so i have money coming in and i get discounts! i have a feeling he will be around for a long time.

well folks just thought i would update you all on george's "condition". the "white spot" is all but gone now and through out this whole thing it never phased him once in apetite or fistyness. seems to be faring just fine and is no worse for wares. i'm sure he has many more happy days ahead of him.

the tank looks amazing, filling in so great! and those black cories look great! it almost seems strange that the black is a bred colour for the cories, one would think that it would be natural, so you know what i mean?

i don't have a filter on my nano yet and its getting over run with algae, is it possible for them to be ok with no circulation?

lol thanks guys, means alot to me to have nice comments from such prestigious planties such as yourselves. I'm going to give the moss a couple months to allow it to grow and attach itself. the CO2 is an addition that will be pretty soon actually. just need the funds to get a nice little...

lol oh ya i forgot i was going to do that good call! i have so many little things planned its hard to remember them all when i ahve the big things standing right out in front of me.

EDIT: specs updated NOV 27, 2008 Alright I figured for once i would start my own journal instead of reading everyone else's. This is my first nano and before I started this little journal, its gone through a few little changes. Just basically some plant additions and swaps with my 20 gallon...

wow what a scape, looks a little different then everyone else. unique is always my favorite.

well the longest we have ever had a betta was probably 4 years. it was the first thing i ever bought my girlfriend. twas a sad day when he left us. as for the meds im not sure if they are available, but i may be able to get out and take a look at the local big als. also i'm in the process of...

my Betta has developed a white spot on his right side and is seems to favor that side. it almost looks like a couple damaged scales but i don't think it is. other then this spot and the very slight lean to that side, nothing else is out of sorts. no loss in appetite, and still the hyper-active...

love the new rescape, i have a question though. have you tried growing HC in this tank with the 13W bulb before? does it grow in that amount of light? i ask this because i have read on other sites that HC has a hard time growing because there isn't enough light for it. most people with these...

wow i have been wiating for this for a long time now. the tank is beautiful! its amazing how fast its fill in! great job!

very nice, very simple, i like this tank alot.

wow just keeps getting better and better! love the angels.

wow, amazing how this tank has taken shape! its beautiful!

absolutely beautiful! i can't wait till the HC fills in a bit!. definitely keep up with the updates.

i know how that is too. importing is a little easier but with our naturally hard water here in ontario the big thing is african rift lake cichlids. although we have the big als chain up here so its not impossible to get odd ball stuff. those littel fish look great. should really pop against the...

llj i think those pieces are making me drool lol im so jealous. how much they cost you?

should look realy good, im planning a simple 2.5g shrimp tank in the near future. figure xmas moss on wood with HC and Rotela rotundifolia for a back ground to hide the heater and filter intake.

haha wow, huge fish, good bye little fish:(. i can't seem to find it in this thread but is he a flowerhorn?

for ada there is only one canadian dealer and he is on the other side of canada from me. as for the hard scape, i can aslong as i find a spot no one else has picked clean lol.

lol you would think that but there are no where near the selection in auarium products over here compared to europe. trust me for this hoppy your much better off.

i love that this loks like a grassy plain like here in the prairies or in africa or something. looks great.

HA love that you added toads, looks great

looks pretty good. although i must say im a fan of the jungle look you had before. but i do understand why you opened it up for the fish. good job

looks great! this is deffidently turing into an interesting tank.

looking great as always llj, when you said large apotogen you weren't kidding!

this should be interesting, havent really seen a tank scaped to be like this before. looks good

id have to agree too.

part of the plan is to seed the fitler with my already un filtered betta 2.5. and might be goin eco complete in my 20 and might toss in an inch or so in this little thing lol see where that gets me. but thanks for the advise everyone.

i have a 2.5 gallon tank sitting around in my basement that needs a cleaning. it has been "out of water" for around a year. had previously been a Betta tank the got a horrible BGA outbreak. but I'm now planning out a 2.5 cherry or blue Taiwan shrimp planted set up and want to make sure this tank...
