My Tank - Updated With Pics P2

[ez_101]

Thanks buddy I don't know what bulbs they are, the ones that come with the juwel tank!?

I have added my plants now...

Not getting corys I dont think, I have rams at the mo and cardinals and a plec so going to stick with them at the mo!!

Anyone?

Looks great. Could you add one of the pieces of background upside down so it looks a bit different? Just looks a bit obvious. The plants look fantastic.

 

[eaglesaquarium]

That's a great idea!!! I wonder if it's too late now though.

 

[ez_101]

I tried that before I put it in looked silly in all honesty... It's now stuck there forever lol

More plants tomorrow, oh and my fish are now in

you have Juwel High Lite Day, T5 28 watts and a Juwel High Lite Nature, T5 28 watts.

You really really really should leave the plec out and the corys, best fish ever in the sand

Thanks for the info

I have been thinking of giving the plec a new home but I'm kinda attached to him now.

I currently have:
1 blue panaque plec
5 cardinal tetras - will be increasing numbers
6 german blue rams - 3 will be re honed when they grow up

I will second the cory recommendation... I'm not really a plec fan myself. They are far too messy and active enough for my taste.

 

[ez_101]

I know what you mean about the plec but iv become attached lol.

Good news - water tests after 24hours of fish in the tank came back perfect big

Will be buying some more plants this weekend and maybe some more tetras!!

Yes indeed, I did say earlier on I will be re homing 3/4. They are only juveniles at the mo, inch big if that.

Your java fern will grow better on bogwood/slate/stone etc has opposed to planting it in the sand unless the rhizomes are above the substrate then the ferns should be fine

Looking good by the way

The bright green plant that you have in the sand around your bogwood I think is Java fern. If it is, it won't grow like that, it'll just rot; it needs to be tied to a piece of wood or rock and not have the roots buried

ah sorry, guilty of not reading the whole thing 40 gallons for 4 should be fine if lots of caves and plants

Yea it's java fern, thanks I will get it tied to some wood/slate, does all the root need to be above the sand?

No worries, thanks I'm going to wait till they have grown a little then pick the pairs
