First Proper Planted Tank

[Jay1983]

Yeah definately Jay. If you have a paypal account i will send you some dosh to cover postage if you want.

Some kind of bulb or big Sword would look well as a replacement... Or maybe some Hydrocotyle or Star Grass?

ok mate I will most likely not be able to sort it all out till next weekend, would that be a problem? I have my daughter this weekend and a huge football game tomorrow so this weekend will be a right off!! yeah cover postage that would be ace mate, I will try and prune it a bit to stop it all tangling as it can be a nightmare... if it arrives messed up (this will be my first time sending anything like this) I will refund you the cash.

I will look into those 2 plants you've mentioned... thanks for the help bud

Thats great mate, no rush with the postage... Will allow my scape to grow in a little. Having said that though i may just plonk it in my Shrimp tank. Sure they will love it!!!

BTW, how's the Rams doing? I was so tempted by a pair of Golds today...

Well Female was ready to spawn but the male was really stressing her, was almost like he was attacking her (I've read they become a lot more aggressive). her egg laying tube was right out but now not so much, she did lose a bit of colour too but that has returned today, she is still very fat so I am still hopeful.

Rams would be fine with angels wouldn't they?

I had bolivians with Angels. Not sure how different the temperaments are between rams though

Yeah they should be. The bottom Ram temps are the higher end of Angel temps iirc.

Plenty of bloodworm for them mate to condition them then a nice sized water change with cool water will encourage them no end.

Well from my limited experience of both I'd say the Bolivians were more aggressive, but that may just be mine and even that aggression is mostly all talk no real action!

Have been feeding them brine shrimp everyday, will try bloodworm and do a big change tomorrow! the only fish I've been able to get to spawn were my pepper corys

 

[minnnt]

Yeah they'll spawn in concrete

Ram breeding looks imminent!! and.......

[Jay1983]

some pics of the rams, some not very clear but female is huge at the moment I think either she lays or explodes!
