Nice tank. Couple of pointers though, won't harm mentioning them even if you know.

1) Clown loach are big fish, they are prone to being 'stunted' in a tank too small, so be prepared to get them a bigger thank 400L ideally or move them on to an appropriate home as they get bigger.

2) The plant in your first plec pic. Anubias Barteri needs to be taken out of the substrate. It can be planted here but IMO looks better on the wood or a rock. If the rhyzome is buried (as you have it) the plant will quickly rot and die. You can attatch it to wood/rocks using cotton thread where it'll gradually attatch itself over time.

What is the exact stocking of the tank?

Hi thanks for the post. I know about the clown loach by bro has a 6 ft by 2 ft by 2 ft for them to go in!
The plant was attached to the wood but for some reason fell off.

The stocking is:

Two angels
Two golden gouarmie
Two pep cory
A breeding group of bn plecs
Two mollys
Ten neons
Two male guppies

Any advice welcome

Hi any chance someone can Id the plants too?

 

[Sharpy14]

I would either remove the neons or the angels, they are well know fro eating neons and other tetra's...

The neons are very large and the angels are only small.
But thanks will keep an eye on it.

Any offer tips/ advice

Hmm i would watch closely though mate, was in my LFS the other day and the owner put some Full size Rummy nose tetras in with some young angels. All gone lol i have angels and neons but in separate tanks...

Ok thanks

Can anyone help on this one? I have had a tour of the dealers in my area yesterday and apart form the Jewel backgrounds I can't find anything that looks remotely realistic like Steds.
