The tank as of two weeks ago
Inhabitants: G Tapajos Orange Head, Black Phantoms, cories and (small) plecos. Planning to add some Splash Tetras. The tank went paludarium style about four weeks ago, so far everything seems to be just fine. Filtration is HMF and hydrobox with decent flow +...
Thanks Mike for your reply. Macmasteris moved to another tank yesterday and I got 1+2 borellii more. Maybe later more as you suggest. Im not sure about breeding, but right now its not my target nr 1. Iv had boreelli fry so I know it pretty hard job to rise them succesfully here. My tapwater is...
Hi all!
I finally found a new tank for my apistos. Dimensions are 130x40 (height 35)cm. Earlier I had just A borellii 1+2 but then I got A macmaster 1+1. Macmaster male is pretty agressive towards all, but worst A borellii male, of course. I have had A boreellii with A cacatuoides harems over a...
Hi and happy new year all!
Sorry for the long story but...Since this RO-thing is pretty new to me Im a bit confused now. Earlier we had nasty high EC, depend on tank 650-850uS (before WC). After starting collect rainwater and use RO ECs have come slowly down in all five tanks, of course, we are...
Oh, I see! I live in southern archipelago in Finland so I thought that you are the nearest neighbour. You are northern neighbour! Anyway, I have visited Nordkap and northern Norway years ago, soooo beautiful!
What a...oh my... beautiful A trifasciata male! Yes, I definetly HAVE to find a new...
Thank you sir. Whoops, my mistake, of course we call them Black Phantoms too, sorry! Yep, with knifefish would all inhabitants become a snack, I guess...
Oh, sorry, I forgot to answer this! Yes and no. Most LFSs sell all the time A cacatuoides and borellii. Sometimes you can see A agassizii, hongsloi, macmasteri, nijsseni, panduro and viejita. Dicrossus filamentosa every now and then. I personally like A trifasciata (along Dicrossus) but never...
Yep! Nice to meet another (swedish) neighbour here! Thanks for the link and you bet I will visit there if I ever had time to do it!
Heres couple of more pics to get the idea, sorry the front glass is not just cleaned, it gets dirty when I add new water every other day.
The tank was as a...
Hi and nice to meet you here, neighbour! You rarely meet swedish hobbyists in these cosmopolitan forums. Actually Iv been trying to find some Swedish forum to practise my poor swedish, but all I have found is Nordiska Discus sällskapet and PlantSwap. Is there some worth of signing in? What a...
Thanks, Bill! I try to add pics later but I can tell the borellii male must be the ugliest borellii male in the world! Really! But hes young so we have hope...!? Earlier I hade few with absolutely fantastic colours and brilliant shades of blue.
The lightning is T5 2x39w, if I can remenber...
Hi linus_Cello! There are small species Phalaenopsis hanging there. They are very beautiful by water. I made growingsoil "baskets" of green steel mesh for them. Then I have Leptotes bicolor growing in 250l (growing on bogwood with some soil) but it has unfortunately never bloomed. Grows sooooo...
Hello!
This is my 600-litre tank (180cm wide) as of today, replanted it over a month a ago. Before it it was just bogwoods and one (yes, one!) red-green sword created and given by Mr Falck. As a enthusianist gardener I was missing green colour (its all grey and black out now here, you see...)...
