This configuration I want to be as close to natural habitat P. Nicholsi. Do you have any examples?

I dont have examples of these fishes biotope, but that is a beautiful tank, and very nice little fish!

Very pretty tank. Prettier than mine - I've way way more plants. Like how you used the African wood *and* plants to be as authentic as possible. I did the same. Nice artistic ability you have.

Bolbitis takes forever, no? All mine is covered in algae. I don't think it's gonna make it.

Hi all,

Bolbitis takes forever, no? All mine is covered in algae. I don't think it's gonna make it.

They are fine once they have settled in. They like some flow, and can make do with very little light. I just tuck little bits down among the plants and forget about them.

This has grown from three or four fronds in ~five years, and I've probably taken off about twice as much as is present in the photo. This tank is rain-water and low nutrient, no CO2.
