My 86 Gallon Planted.

[superjalami30]

I posted these in the members tanks, but though I'd share them here as well.


When I first set it up, seeding it with two aquaclear 200's.

Added some plants and wood, mopani and mostly javafern and anubius.

I just like this pic:

Added pressurized C02 and updated lighting then Re arranged one day:

Updated lighting and diversified plant list:

I've been building a terrarium to house poison dart frogs the last 3 weeks....the tank is in serious need of a trimming.

Hope you all like.

Please ignore the lamp reflection.

Nice tank. Very full.
I see a fair few cichlids in there, Angels, Acara, Kribensis.. How do they all get on?

Thanks for the nice comments.
The angels and florida flagfish stay near the top and get along fine.
The pelvicachromis pulcher's stay at the bottom, so they're fine.
The Aequidens metae is a big chicken, he does his thing but once someone faces him head on he'll bolt to the back of the tank.
I have plenty of hiding places (as you can see), and I havent had any problems with nipped fins or injuries from fighting.
I will be bringing in the pulcher babies to the LFS's to trade soon too, so that'll lighten up the load.
I have some nanochromis parilus coming soon as well, we'll have to see how that goes when I get them.
I have another 86 Gallon lined up as well, so I'll have another tank to house them in if need be.

As a side note, my Pseudocrenilabrus multicolor female is carrying eggs.
I'll possibly need that 86 Gallon just for them.

amazing tank!

any chance of posting pics of your terrarium when it's set up? That's one thing i want to do, set up a planted terrarium with poison frogs. What species are you going to keep? D. Lamasi look really nice!

Thanks for all the comments.
Yeah, when I get my frogs I'll post a quick pic....if I can here....I dunno.
I'm going to start with D. Auratus.
First, because thats all I can get localy and second there an easy starter datr to care for.
I'm pretty excited.
