My Community tanks

Hi your tanks look great

 

@blueskipjack Thanks a lot man. Only one more left to put up, please bear with me.

 

Hey guys, last tank finally available for viewing, this is my 4ft which is around 260lt or so. Running a dophin c-1600, Via Aqua 902 internal (also removed bio media and turned into a mech filter only.) planning to run a sump on this one in the new year.

 

Hey bro, your 4ft is looking sweet hey. Where do you buy your plastic plants from? They really lookreal hey. Well done hey, pleass inform us which type of fish you got in the 4 ft.

Enjoy bro.

@hviviers75 Thanks alot bro, The tank is holding:
8 Congo tetras
7 scissortails
6 black phantoms
4 swordtails 1male 3 females(2 are hifin types and 1 normal orange with a black blue stripe)
3 female guppies(I always tried to have one male in there but they keep disappearing:weird: but the females have been in there for months)
1 orange mickey mouse platy male(also had a few females but they just disappeared on me as well)
1 moonlight gourami
1 torpedo barb(this is the one I told u about which didnt seem to want to grow so I didnt sell him off with the rest of the school in case he was sick but he seems to be doing just fine now)
The last few are the remanants of my sisters tank which she gave me when she gave up her fish tank
1 pakistani loach
1 blue rainbow
1 red rainbow
1 neon blue rainbow
I tried putting these rainbows in with my boesmanis but the main male boesmani seems to have a problem with them so I just kept them in this tank to maintain the happiness. Once I get a bigger tank would like to complete the schools of these fish.

I'm going to PM you the places where I got the plants from in case I break any rules.

 

Pleasure bro, this is a nice couple of fishes you got in here, on your fish try and get another 3 pakistani loaches they like beinf in a school. And also try and get some more rainbow fish they also do better in groups of 6 or more. You can definitely add some more fish in this tank. Maybe try and exchange the one torpedo barb for something else they also prefer to be in big groups. Thanks dude you got a nice variaty of plastic plants.

Well done bro. A sump would be nice but dont drill your 4ft just use a decent diy overflow.

Happy fishy days.

 

I thought if I add more to complete the schools then I would be overcrowding the tank but I was thinking of taking the singles out and trading them if I cant get an upgrade anytime soon. I'm quite happy with the scissortails so if I do trade them will get two or three more of them and complete the pakistani loach school as well for some nice action at the bottom section of the tank.

My sis had them all in groups but I think she bought some fish from a shady source which killed off most of her stock which is why she gave up her tank and I just took in the remainders and the tank which is the 4ft where my boesmanis and angels are residing at the moment.

 

Hi guys, just for interest sake this is the same 260lt 4ft as the one posted above but about 1.5 years ago when I was doing malawis. Just thought I'd share the pics for cos all the members love pics.

 

@mrmustard, where can i get one of those pots?

 

He bro.
Looking good, now to do that substrate recipe I gave you and get the live pants in. But If my tank can looks like yours I would be over the moon.

Later

 

@DerikPelser Bro in a few weeks its going to be vice versa and I'm the one who is going to be envying your tanks, your plants are definitely going to flourish with that substrate. Nothing beats a natural tank and I'm really happy that @hviviers75 has also gone down this route.

Hey guys just an update on my tanks, did some changes here and there so lets start with my 3ft:
Nothing major just a few plant changes on this one. @hviviers75 The tiger barbs would not sit still at all for the pics, they were so excited and hyper at the front of the tank but this is the best I got at the moment.

 

Ok so heres my 4ft rainbow tank, added a few rainbows, neons and glo-lights to the mix and rescaped the tank with some new plants:
