My First Tank

[PhilP]

Hi peeps,

Thought I should upload some pics of my tank, still loads of ideas but just thought I'd see what you guys think,

Stock is:

2x Blue Gourami
3x Siamese Flying Fox
2x Clown Loach
5x Neon Tetras
3x Zebra Snails
5x Phantom Tetras (i think thats what they are called)
1x Scribble Plec ( a tad shy but will get pics eventually)

An unfortunate lesson learnt with amano shrimp and clown loach.

Tank measurements to follow,
Aquagrit substrate,
External filter and currently running an eheim internal filter for short period of time just to improve water movement whilst air pump is being delivered.
CO2 bubble injector currently being used.


Let me know what you think

like it nice lot of plants love the look of blue gourami iv got a couple of dwarf gourami that are very pretty too, what happened with your shrimp and clown loach then? i just lost my clown which sux off to buy a couple tomorow for my big tank

is it a new tank and have you fishless cycled? if you havent fishles cycled make sure to keep on top of water changes and get a test kit to check your amonia levels good luck

Thanks for the comments, i have completed the cycles required and had great advice from a LFS.

Yes apologies, late night and complete mind blank. Shrimp and clowns unfortunately the clowns thought that i had introduced a catch your own meal i was gutted, i had pondered over it for a while after reading plenty of reports and ended up being unsuccessful with the two breeds

Nice tank, quite a variety of plants and the gravel really is nice looking.
