hemianthus callitrichoides

believe when I say it took a lot of work to get it like that. Thanx for the kind words ppl :rolleyes:

I think its Stargrass - Heteranthera zosterifolia. I'll not bet my house on it though :rolleyes: Really healthy lookin' specimen too

good choice :good: I have a korelia 2 for my planted 64 us gallon and it gives good flow but doesn't blow the plants apart. I had a majijet mp900 and found the flow too narrow and it blew the plants like trees in a hurricane

No Crypts don't have stems. Crypts are rosette plants. That plant looks like some type of Hygrophilia Sp. And if it is, it's aquatic and very easy to grow as a background plant.

Indian fern - Broad-Leaf Water Sprite (Ceratopteris cornuta). I should know I have it. That is a great plant from removing excess nutrients. As you know all ready it can grow floating or rooted to the substrate.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I feel your pain. I have a 2 year old nephew who is a raving loon. He nearly wiped out my Bolivian Ram pair and their two and half month old fry from my tank. He adjusted the thermometer of my external filter to 32 degrees Celsius. You really need eyes in the...

How are the Bolivian Rams doing SuperColey1? Would like to see pics of the tank and Rams if u have them :good:

I've always had hornwort in my tanks. It's a great plant to suck up excess nutrients in a tank. it grows faster than any other plant I've seen. You can leave it floating or plant it in the substrate. It doesn't grow roots but modifies the lower leaves to anchor itself. Give it a chance.

From what I've read over at cichlid-forum.com, to see the best and most natural behavior from Bolivian Rams its best to have groups of more than two. 10 square inches per fish. As long as you have plenty of territory markers using plants, rocks and bog wood u should be fine. I have six in a...

my favorite fish by a mile :good:

They look like healthy young Bolivians. I hope everything goes well. When they start breeding, by god they breed. Every 3-4 weeks with me. I currently have a pair in a 60 gallon with 30 two month old fry. My favorite fish :good:

Thanx for the help. I'm thinking of going the 8 hours total photoperiod with all four on 5 hours. The tek light is expensive but you get what you pay for. The reflectors are awesome. And u can turn the two sets on independent of each other. I have pressurised via a fire extinguisher. I'm going...

cheers m8 :good:

hello!

I have a tek light luminaire with 4 54watt t5's (216watts Yay!!). This will go on top of a 64 us gallon planted tank. I can turn two sets on independently of each other. How do you recommend i time the lights to come on. I was thinking a total 8 hours lighting time. With all 4 t5 's on 5 hours...

I still think its a female yellow tail congo tetra. It looks exactly like the female I have in my tank :unsure: It looks rotund like a female fish too.

Yes that's dead on :good:

Yes good point about the rocks. I just have them lying on the subsrate, so I have to partly bury them. Thanx ppl :good:

I have a planted tank with a rock formation made out of pieces of granite rock. The Plec decided to dig around and under this formation to make his home. My question is this, If I put a pvc pipe in the tank and bury it under the large piece of wood in the tank and remove the rocks will he use...

Do you know what I think it is? A female Yellow Tail Congo tetra (ALESTOPETERSIUS CAUDALIS). It looks awfully like my female. They don't have the yellow tail like the males. female Male

Yes definitely Common Brislenose. Just on a side note, the green and white plant behind the pleco in the the third picture is not aquatic and will rot in the tank. I wish lfs's would not sell these plants for aquariums :angry: Thats if it's not fake :huh:

looks like a mixture of hygrophilia polysperma and hygrohilia difformis

Just cut it back to the length you want and replant the cut stems if you want. The cut plants will grow side shoots and become more bushy.

looks to me like Hygrophilia Polysperma

What about Bolivian Ram Cichlids

No. That's not a fern. It's Hygrophila difformis. Well your kind of right, it is water wisteria. But not a fern.

answered 15 of 27 questions Right. :rolleyes: They say I'm advanced :fun:

thanx ppl :thumbs:

Well you definitely have two Bolivian Ram Cichlids. But I can't tell what sex they are because of the Pics. I tell the sex as I said already from the ovipositor. Males are tapered and females are tube shaped. My fav fish. Not as beautiful as the Blue Rams but makes up for that with their...

Hello people I have the rhinox 2000 diffuser in my tank. I have pressurised Co2. I just want to take another piece of equipment out of the tank. So I saw this diffuser. As spacefishy has said, it is connected to the out flow of the external filter. I was interested in this...

Is this diffuser any good? Anybody have one? Cheaper than a reactor :rolleyes: http://cgi.ebay.ie/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewIt...s_promot_widget

Hope this helps. Male Bolivian Ram. Females are slightly smaller but more or less the same. It's hard to tell the difference between the sexes. I usually look for the ovipositor beside the anal fin for a female.

I was wondering what peoples experiences are with this plant under high-light conditions (3.3 wpg) and planted in the substrate. Otherwise known as Broad-Leaf Water Sprite. At the moment I have it floating in my low-light tank (1.6wpg). I will plant it in my soon to be high-light tank.

Ideal water parameters are: Ph:6.8-7.4 Slightly hard water They can live in water outside those ranges. Great Little fish. My fav :good: Bundles of personality. They also feel more secure in a planted aquarium. Very easy to breed, when you supply a pair with a flat stone. Once they start...

I'll just add that they look so drab in the pet shop but they come to the front of the tanks to say buy me :hyper: A few weeks of conditioning and they become beauties.

I couldn't agree more, My fav fish :good: And so easy to breed as well

Geeeze! Sorry for asking :unsure:

What do people think of this method of running a planted tank? I will soon have a 65 gallon tank. Just might try it. http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/forumap...de-pps-pro.html
