Axolotl Rescape

[3ndl3r]

Decided to rescape my axolotl's tank yesterday.

And here is the result.

Comments/suggestions?

Cheers

I love axolotls always the coolest little animals how big are yours?

 

[3ndl3r]

Rescaped you say? How long previous to that had you been keeping plants in there?

The plants have been in there awhile, i just trimed them a little and moved themm around, and added that piece of mopani wood, there used to be a horrible plastic tree root there.

 

[Underwurlde]

Cool. Mopani not leaking tannins then? You're lucky, my manky snail infested lump took months to settle down!

GL with your set up, real plants cannot be beaten IMHO and there's nothing better for them thar fishies

No tannins as of yet, but i'm expecting them
The plants were all pearling after yesterdays Water change. It was so cool, shame my camera couldnt pick it up.

Perling! How much lighting do you have in there?!? I'd probably hazard a guess that the 'perling' was just trapped air bubbles from the waterchange perhaps?

Maybe, it looked cool anyway

[Underwurlde]

Cool, there are some truely awesome setups there. The king of so-called EI tanks, a technique that most people with $$$ follow to create these great looking tanks is an American chap called Tom Barr (We are not worthy... we are worms! ).

Yep, found a piccy of my crummy 60L set up...
