New Angelfish Habitat

[chris1932]

I had a brand new 150xt sitting in my basement for the past six months and I got the time and materials to set it up. I am happy with how it turned out, I still need to get some more plants and pick up a Co2 cylinder. But it has fish in it and thats what counts. Right now there are 12 wild angels in there as well as a group of 11 Corydoras Weitzmani, and a realy fat Cory Paleatus. There is a school of 25 or so Blue tetras to go in yet but I am tired of acclimating fish.

Thanks to Exotic Aquatics in Baltimore Maryland for stocking some of the nicest driftwood I have ever seen.

There are three groups of four localities of Angels, Two from Peru and one from Mancaparu

Very nice progress Chris, next time I head back home I'll definitely stop by and check it out again.

Thanks Lisa! And Justin???? I think? Co2 is hooked up and running and I am waiting for some new plants. 20 or so Blue Tetras are in and moving all the time.

Thank you Daniele, And welcom to the fourm! I am waiting for some plants that I have ordered to come in and I am going to be moving some Echinodorus cordifoliuse, bleheri, and rubin that I am growing from offspring in other tanks in. I am trying to keep from having my hands in the tank too much as the Angels being wild are easily frightened. I will keep updating the post as the tank evolves.

Thanks
Christian

nice tank, that driftwood it brilliant, I havnt seen any nice pieces like that down this way. Are you trying to breed these angels?

btw where is the wood from (as in country not shop!) and is it collected from the side of a river? unlike bogwood?

I added more plants last week so I am going to take some new pictures soon.
