Tore my tank down to redecorate and...

[FallenPepper]

It just looks the same 2 hours of replanting, moving the wood, smaller filters and trimming and I just goofed for almost nothing. Though eventually gunna get rid of that amazon sword things gotten massive

Your African Sword is massive, I planted 3 small ones, snails got one but one is doing fine and the other one has 2 leaves and coming back. Sometimes it is good just to rearrange things. I just moved some Anacharis to my 55 gallon tank and moved some Java Fern around. You must have your fish in a bucket since I can't see any

Lol I actual have a bunch in there tbh. I grow out my bichirs in the tank till 5inches so I have 3 delhize and 1 oriental, 1 pair of green phantom plecos waiting to be breed when they mature, same with a pair of gold nuggets. 3 amazon puffers and a spotted congo puffer. But most are temp resident's and move out of the tank quickly. It's my project tank really where I experiment with lots of different things

Now I see them, well camouflaged little critters

Many years ago I tore down my 55 gallon tank after I had African Cichlids for several years and only had a pelco in with them. I found a kuhli loach hiding in the gravel. I thought he had died since I had to evacuate all the other fish years before because of the African Cichlids. They were 8 rescues which quickly took over the tank. Talk about being well camouflaged

Do you have a ‘kuhli loach jump of the tank’ problem?

 

[Retired Viking]

never had that happen. I have covers for all my tanks. He lived another year or two. Never had African Cichlids after that

The Sword looks great..just push it to the back glass,prune low leaves and you have a showpiece that most people want when they buy Swords to begin with.
What Sword is that? E. paraguayensis?..one of those giant species that wants to grow right out of the water if you let it.
