tank is growing nicely, albeit a bit slowly as it has to be shut down end of august.
shame, i havent had another 3-4 months as the crypts will really grow in nicely.
currently fighting GDA, but im really not fussed as its not a comp scape and its keeping my BN and ottos fat.
its only on the glass and not the plants so im fine with that.
the tank hasnt filled in massively if you compare it with an older shot (see below). thats mainly due to starting at a point, going backwards due to crypt melt, and then moving forwad.
if you imagine it with numbers. if i started at 5, i went back to 3, now im at a 6. (hope that makes sense)
this was the tank about a month ago. (just under) followed by how it is now.
Arty style shot.
some of the residents. (just some!)
As you can see, i prefer community set ups to the single species tanks. they are fine for competition if you are entering an iwagumi set-up, but its really boring. in my tank, all areas/levels are used, and its constantly active.
current stocking:
7 harlequins
7 gold barbs
5 'lake kutubu' rainbowfish
9 C.trilineatus
2 yellow platies
2 red wag platies
4 SAE (true)
1 BN
6 Otto's
2 keyholes
3 tiger barbs (free to who-ever can collect them)
comments always welcome.
