Echinodorus Tank (The End)

[ian]

@ Steve, no probs mate, are you still thinking Discus?

@ Jay, thanks mate, the carpet is Glosso and the small echinodorus is magdalenensis.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

yeah mate why's that?

 

[ian]

just wondering, i know you was thinking that while back. Should be good.

 

[Ps3Steveo]

Hopefully mate, I'm a little worried about them fitting in with the scale of the scape hence going for rather large lol.

did you have any issues with the double red eating your plants ? lovely looking fish

 

[coldcazzie]

what you gonna do with your plants Ian?

*got my eye on the tricolour*

 

[ian]

it's got your name on it.

 

[coldcazzie]

Fanks! you're a gem! You got any pygmy chain sword in there?

 

[ian]

i got loads in there...don't worry i'll send you a selection. I'll send you some Vesuvius as well (it retails at £12 a pot!)

 

[coldcazzie]

Lol, I'm after a load of pygmy chain sword, and your big tricolour I also want a cordifolius like Tom

 

[ian]

erm beggars can't be choosers! lol

I'm still not 100% that i'm gonna be able to get chance to send em out as, i'm at work all this week and we go away sunday night, i will be draining the tank saturday. So will try my hardest. BTW there isn't any chain sword in there, theres echinodorus magdalenensis.

 

[coldcazzie]

lol, I meant in general well, if you get chance I'd love to rehome the tricolour if not then no worries and have a lovely holiday

Its a little known fact, but the amanos gather like that as they have found it is the best defense against wereshrimp.

What I am waiting to see is how the tank looks on about the 4th of July.

I guess it did not last til tomorrow. Oh well. A very well known and well respected American fish keeper, one whose advice should never be ignored once wrote something to this effect. "I will no longer do planted tanks with anything less than about 20 inches of depth." I ignored that and paid the price in pruning many a day in the past 10 years.

It is why I was curious to see this tank tomorrow.

At least you had fun with it.

 

[ian]

I still have the Amanos though!


if i'm still here after tomorrow i shall report back.
