The area above the tank, did you add a rocky background? Also can you describe the glass? I think I see a key lock and am guessing the glass panel slides.

Hi,

The area above the tank has a own made background. I used styrofoam plates and sprayed some PUR foam on it. Later I used Elastopur mixed with a brown color pigment. After that I have covered the background with peatfibers.

The glass panels in the section above water has 4 sliding glasses. Two of them has a hole in it, just for easy sliding.

Amazing tank! What are the water parameters and what light and plants are you using? Regards

Thanks.

It all depends on how good the parents are for their juveniles. I had juveniles sp. Erdfresser in this tank. The Megalechis are still small ones, but I’ll have to see if I keep them. The same with Brachyrhamdia meesi. I’ve read stories of both species that are able to get some small fish.

But I love it when I put food in the tank. Both species will get to the food as quick as possible.
