A New Day's 180l jungle

Thanks Maria

 

Thanks @sub-lime

 

Aponogeton crispus flower and a few other snaps. After I lost the electric blue rams I dropped the temp a bit and think the live bearers are more comfortable.

 

I have probably said it before.
But those orange platies look particularly stunning against the green

 

Finally got around to donating the live bearers but missed a heavily pregnant female and about 10 fry. So ready for a shake up in livestock.

Current inhabitants:
- Bolivian ram pair. Had what I hoped is a female in QT and moved her across. From their interaction I’m 99% sure she is indeed a young female (see pic, input would be appreciated)
- big SAE that I’d like to move to the 1,5m and get a new juvenile
- Braveheart the only khuli loach
- 5 ottos
- two last rummy noses
- nerites, 3 amanos (would like to get more), a couple of cull neocaridina shrimp

Then:
- I have a school of young pencil fish in QT destined for this tank
- might move the harlequin rasboras over to this tank
- in future perhaps an Apistogramma pair @Chandz ?

 

Thanks @Chandz !
I’ll get a close up

 

I agree apistos will look great in there

 

I’m quite amazed at how much and how quickly they’ve both coloured up since having company

 

The Rams have coloured up nicely

 

Yep and they have eggs now so that seals the deal on sexing the newcomer

 

Did you get some fry there?

 

No the eggs got eaten. Every morning less eggs until they were gone. But I’m not essentially a breeder so that will happen in a community tank I suppose

 

Sorry

 

I’ve done big trims over the last month or so. Lawn needs another mow
The female Bolivian ram is on fire!
