2FT Starter Planted Tank

Once my snail is done cleaning out the problem ill pass him along to some else that has a snail problem, or go sneak him in to a LPS plant tank to help whoever buys fro the tank...

@HugBug I have seen that as well, and they rekon if i shrimp gets caught by an assassin its either dumb, old or just weak and its better to clean the gene pool

@Shabir I had 2 cories die on me a couple of weeks ago and since then i have gotten paranoid and do a daily head count of all the fish, a tank wipe always sucks... But as you live in the UAE,i hope your tank did had water and not sand in it

@A new day Ill trim them, cant have those big plant in my tank now, can I?

 

Hahaha @ sand in the tank.

 

we demand a full tank shot

 

Lol i thought i uploaded it, but it has gone missing, will upload one this evening

 

Full tank shot, just added some Rosabara Chops in earlier this afternoon, LPF didnt have cardinal or blue neon or Otos(What I actually wanted to get)

 

I got them as I have always loved Harlequin Rosebaras and the diffireence between them are quite small, hoping to get 6 x Rosabaras next week if no otots

 

Looks very nice @oupoot

 

I went to get the espei and came home with neon tetras. Note to self, don't take the 9 year with when you go to buy fish. Still, I do rather like how the neons look in the tank.
The espei's are awesome though. Still hoping to add them to the bigger tank in future.

 

Some new inhabitants, cardinal and green tetras. Cant really see them clearly in photos, only difference is the lack of red

 

Nice, don't think I've ever seen Green Neons available in CT (wanted them for ages). They stay a fair bit smaller than Cardinals.

 

very nice @oupoot

 

Yeah I have been waiting 3 weeks to buy them at the shop as someone reserved them but never came to collect... They look amazing

 

So got home today, now that al lthe fish have settle in after transport, I was sold 1 green neon and 5 normal neon tetras lol, so alot of blue and red now

 

oh dear, that's frustrating.

 

Yeah was all excited to get something of a rare find, but i love how they all schooling together now until one of the mountain minnows decided they dont like it and crashes in to the school lol

 

So I did a DIY CO2 this morning, and also some photos of all my algea growing so nicely since I cant find any otos anywhere...

I have reduced the Lighting period to 8 hours a day and have done all i can to block the sunlight that hits the tank in mornings when my door to the patio is open.
