Tombstone Tank

[t.ropical_m.istx3]

This is what the tank originally looked like all "set up":

the big rock has now been moved to shadow's tank in exchange for some plants- he's loving it!. the plants have been shifted backwards, minus the little ones you can't see, they'll be between the graves.

this is what i'm planning it to look like (top view):

currently there are four guppies, two glowlight tetras (due to dying off), two ghost shrimp, three pygmy cories and four sparkling gouramis. the gouramis are looking for a new home because they're nipping my guppies and my matae cats which have now been moved to my fryless fry tank. i'm not sure what the final stocking will be. i'm thinking (keep in mind most of them i'm keeping, not getting new)
4x guppies
3x pygmy cories
2x glowlights
3x matae cories
5+x ghost shrimp (they dont count as fish )
and something else to add color.

Samuk read the big project threasd in this forum then you will understand, it sounds quite good imo

 

[SamUK]

thanx for that.

looks like a cool place but not sure id model a tank on it.

not my tank tho and i hav to admit it does sound interesting.

pics would be good.

It will loo!

i think it looks really good so far - the cories love swimming across the large rocks that are the graves and the little paths through it look awesome.

i still can't find my camera cord, but i only have one picture because my batteries are dead and we have no AAs in the house. once we get them and i find my cord you'll have pics .

updated - again.

at my LFS today, we bought two schwartzi cories to replace the three mataes which are now by themselves in the frytank. the gouramis are going back to the store soon. i also got more ghost shrimps to add the the spooky, haunted BootHill feeling. once the gouramis go back, this will be my stocking:

1x male guppy
4x female guppies
2x glowlights
3x pygmy cories
2x schwartzi cories
9x ghost shrimp - they're the feeders so no telling how long some will live.

it looks great - i hate to get rid of the gouramis, they're gorgeous. i was debating on two balloon mollies, but i think that'd be wayyyyy overstocking it, though it gets once - a - week water changes, lots of plants and lots of filtering.
