4th beaut!

Hi guys, so a couple weeks ago I mentioned the new 4ft, so now I need to think about stuff.

What are the fert options? Should I go Co2, pfp or what are the other options?

How many BN should I put in?
I have 2 angels, 4 dwarf cichlids, 3 guppies, krib pair whip tail cat banjo cat and 3 pairs of sterbai cories, what other tank mates could in?
Hand
Let's not forget my one lonely skunk loach...

 

I would add some more cories.

Just my 2c

 

How about some tetras

 

Something in the mid to top water range.

 

I was thinking about some harlequins like 15. - 20. Maybe even another two black angels...
Definitely need 4 or so white seam or starlight bristle nose's...

I am currently growing out some crypts and a few other plants as well, moss's ... I have a couple nice ideas for the layouts but gonna take some time to find the right drift woods and plants...

Not to mention the setup costs!

 

Scissor Tail Rasbora - easy to keep - nice in an avg size school ..

 

Also not a bad idea... Hmmm

Anyone know of an app that can help with a design and layout?

 

You put this thread in the African forum for some reason... why not try out some African oddities? Or even not such oddities: African tetras add a bit of twist and activity to the tank, and then certain African catfish, like Synodontis (Upside down cats) are always interesting.

 

Salmon this accidentally ended up in the African area...

I will need to do some research on the African fish and the compatibility, with American cichlids?

 

Most African fish make ideal community fish, provided that you do research and find the right ones. Rather avoid the African cichlids, especially if you have other cichlids in the tank already. The fish I've mentioned about are common community fish in many peoples' tanks, just give them a search on Google: Congo Tetra (Phenacogrammus interruptus), Upisde-down catfish (Synodontis nigriventris), or for something unusual, the African Butterflyfish (Pantodon buccholzi). All very hardy fish that are readily avaliable.

 

Ok so guess what I just got to add to my tank...

If all goes well end of the year I will be setup!!!
This was not a planned purchase it just happened... Man I am happy with the buy now I am really really getting excited...
I have loads of plants that I am going use as soon as I can decide what I am gonna do...

 

Sorry here is the pic lol

 

nice dude!

 

@Lizid,

I think we should help you to put water in the tank.

How long have the tank been standing empty ?

:bigsmile:

 

ok lets not start that now... lol

 

Since March if I am not mistaken

 

@Hein,

I think we must give @Lizid some water to put in the tank.

Isn't that what a tank is for ?

haha

 

I agree but the funny thing is I think @Lizid has an endless supply of water at his house controlled by a tap, usually it works like this, open tap, put hosepipe in tank, fill tank and close tap and take out hosepipe. lol:laugh:

 

@Hein,

We should maybe jump over the fence and fill up the tank for @Lizid.

Then atleast it can start to cycle.

haha
