What a great looking tank. It truly does look like a little slice of a river. Nice work!

 

[danbb]

Thanks. Few more pictures

 

[Seanor]

I love your autumn angel

 

[Mike Wise]

Err ... where are the altum angelfish? I only see domestic scalare forms.

 

[jumpmaster]

Lovely tank and those apistos are beautiful

 

[danbb]

Thanks.
Mike, this are for the moment my "altums". Maybe in the future some real ones. First move is some dither fish, next week.

Some movement in the river...

 

[danbb]

Surprise: my "altums" has spawned last evening

 

[jumpmaster]

Very nice, are you going to try and raise them?

 

[danbb]

In the first place I will let the "nature" to follow the course, if there will be some survival fry I will try to help them grow up. This is the first spawn for the scalar pair and I don't want to interfere too much.

 

[danbb]

Some new arrivals: 5 C. Marthae and some sclare fry (only seen for 24 hours, then...?)
