Envirobro's Paludarium- DIY 3D Background

Sweeeeeeeeeeet!!!

 

@BadgerBadger @RKali They are super cool Can't believe my luck! I mean the LFS I was at was selling small Cardinal tetras for R55.00 each!

 

Are these dwarf rainbows? Never seen them before. Very nice looking! Almost looks like small Katu Rainbows.

 

Awesome!!!

Will do some reading never kept rainbows myself, neither Danios. Interesting selection and they do look Great!

 

As far as I can tell @Michealvdb they are just standard Lake Kutubu Blue Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia Lacustris) aka Turquoise Rainbowfish, which are not dwarfs.

Here is a pic of an adult from google:


@Ortaega I have never even considered keeping Rainbows but so far I am completely sold on them... this species at least

 

Wow, They are definitely a beautiful addition to your tank!!!

I Just got from the store myself and got 2 little Pictus catfish after waiting patiently for a very very very looong time!

 

That is a very nice looking fish @Ortaega Have you got any pics of them?

 

Thanks Bro. Kutubu is what I meant . I have got a variety of Rainbows at the moment....They must be some of the most beautifull fish when they all grown up, and so easy to keep.

 

WOW!!! Those adults are stunning!!! :love:

Absolutely thrilled for you on this bonus find!!!

 

I do indeed, just struggling to get some proper ones. Got a few pics of one of them.

 

@michaelvdb I am looking forward to seeing how these guys grow into beautiful adults! Nice how many species of rainbows do you have and what setup???
@RKali Thanks bud! I'm pretty chuffed too My wallet is also happy...
@Ortaega Beautiful man! It is a gorgeous looking cat, what are you keeping with them? Love the substrate btw.

 

Thanx :bigsmile:, proud to own them!
Currently the tank is stocked as follows:
6x Bronze corydoras {of which 2 out of the 6 is Albino}
1x Bristlenose Pleco
1x Whiptail Catfish
2x Pictus Catfish
7x Golden apple snails {5 still needs to be moved out}
1x Kribensis

The substrate I also got from my LFS after a while, some fine river sand. Cory`s seem to love it. Just need some plants for now then I'll be happy.

 

@EnvironmentalBro got some Kutubu, Bosmani, Parkinsoni and Iranian Red(Think thats their name) rainbows at the moment. Still a couple types I have my sights on. Just in a tank with some Rams and Cardinals . Have had all of them over a year now and their colours are starting to come along awesomely..... Would like to add some Madagaskar Rainbows, but havnt seen any aroud.

 

@Ortaega Sounds like a nice little setup
@michaelvdb Quite a range of species there. Planted tank?

Here are some quick update pics of the terrestrial section. I have added 11 new plant species added but I still have to ID all of them.

 

Looking Great!!!:bigsmile:

 

Spring is almost here and my Paludarium is in need of some serious plant trimming

 

he he ... 10/10

thanks for the update ...

 

Wow! That is stunning!

 

Shew well done I am very impressed - have followed your progress from the beginning - looks amazing but like Reedfish asks, what is happening in the water?
