Hi Everyone! Heres My Tank :d

[Camad727]

Hello all, was cruising the web and came across this site which is great. I have had a 150 litre tank for almost a year now and am getting a 300 litre in a few weeks. So I was doing some fish research as I came across this forum!

here are some pics of my current tank.

it is running off a tetratec ex 700 and a blu-wave 05 internal.

I have

3 boeseman rainbows
1 red guinea rainbow
14 neon tetras
4 clown loaches
3 zebra loaches
3 kuhlii loaches
2 bolivian rams
2 cae
1 bristlenose pleco
and like 4 shrimp

here they are:

The 300 litre tank I will be getting soon. I am planning for it to be a planted tank with a sand substrate (pea gravel is really ugly imo). I am also looking for some big fish to put in the tank. Since most of the fish I have now are quite small. The tank I am getting is a juwel rio 300

Heres what I might be getting:

-a large pleco. perhaps a king tiger.
- 3 bala sharks.
- 1 bgk
- 2 angelfish.

hi and welcome. Nice looking rainbowfish you have there. Some little boesemani and a male incisus. The plants look good too but I'm thinking the ball in the middle is plastic
Anyway hope you enjoy yourself while your here and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them.

The ball plant thing is fake , i got it at Pets at home. Im kind of getting annoyed with it because it really sticks out when mixed with live plants, and it looks really bad.I think I might just get some java moss to replace it

Welcome to the forum. Excellent pictures. You have some nice looking fish there and a lovely tank layout.

You can usually pull the ball thing apart and get 2 halves from it. Then you can have a couple of domes instead of a a ball. You can also pull the plant pieces off the ball and grow java moss through it.

welcome to the board

I like your tank, and it's great that you're upgrading.

-a large pleco. perhaps a king tiger. - great
- 3 bala sharks. - Will eat neons and shrimps
- 1 bgk - Will eat neons and shrimps
- 2 angelfish. - May eat neons and shrimps if adults are added.

I'm surprised your loaches haven't eaten the shrimps.

Nice tank, and I have the same plastic ball plant thingy, except mine floats on the top and wanders round the tank in the current. I think it looks quite cool and the fish like hiding under it sometimes. Maybe you can take a weight off of it to make it float and see if you like it better?

thanks for the feedback everyone, I will be sure to post another tang log when i get my new tabk

Its coming in a few days, i cant wait!!!!

I have completely revamped my list (im always doing it).

Im not getting the balas n e more as they will well outgrow the tank, I might get the BGK sometime in the future, but not for now

Here is my new list:

4-6 angelfish
6 boesemans rainbowfish
1 Blue acara
1 male BN
1 exotic pleco
4 clown loaches
2 boliv rams
3 kuhlii loaches

also might get a shoal of large tetras, would u guys recomend any specific types?

With regards to the neons, I am putting them in a smaller tank at my bedside with the shrimp and a betta. so noone will get eaten

"also might get a shoal of large tetras, would u guys recomend any specific types?"

i'd recommend congo tetras
