Hello, This is my first time entering. I was encouraged by a few friends here
Its just a community tank, with hills and a cliff with homemade trees
40 gallon tank
 

 

 
Thanks, Ralph

Everything about that tank is stunning.

I don't go in for the gushing praise, but that is a nice scape.

 

[Paradise3]

That is a nice tank! I would enter my own tank but you just put mine to deep shame

 

[Thedoctor]

I don't go in for the gushing praise, but that is a nice scape.

I think I like it so much because it has reds vs greens rather than the usual Whtie/black + Green or blue.

The verification pic looks better than the entry! I would enter that instead. Lovely tank. What's the stocking? I see tiger barbs, clown loaches, Odessa barbs, swordtails, cories and cherry barbs. Anything I missed?

 

[Ralphw62]

Blood fins, Black mollies, Buenos Aires tetras and Red Tail Shark...no swordtails
 
Plants
Java Moss, Java Fern, moneywort, Sword plant, Red Ludwigia, Peacock fern, Corkscrew Valisineria .
 
No CO2, just Nutrafin plant food and good plant substrate where needed. All pretty much slow growing plants as I don't want an "invasion of the Anacharis" thing going on.
 
2 T5 bulbs 21w DeepBlue Solarmax 6,700k daylight and an LED striplight with the night time blue.
 
also added some floating pennywort (long Roots)with Java moss draped over it as a hiding spot for the molly fry

 
As far as which pic I use.... it was hard as I took a ton of pics with all different lighting.....I chose what I thought was the best pic of how it really looks.

 

[TallTree01]

Whoopsy. Thought mollies were sword tails ( bangs head on wall ).

 

[blackops]

I like the other pic more would u not change it

 

[Ralphw62]

I'll see what I can do...not too late?
trying to find one with no sign on it..
I kinda like the black background
 
 
my next tank just might be a 75 gallon project...I'm addicted
need a good decent priced plant source though.

 

[Mandeep Singh]

Beautiful tank mate

 

[Thedoctor]

No rivals? Interesting.

 

[David J]

I'd love to see a pic of it with the blue night lighting on. Any chance?

 

[Liz xty]

Hee hee, looks like it's you Ralph ;-)
I do very much like it, a nice natural scape!
