thanks Dwarf_Dude.
i got lucky with that pic of the 3 balas, they are always moving and pretty difficult to get in focus.

The Gold Nugget plec is probably my fav. He is pretty shy, but gaining confidence every day!

the Clown Loaches are right pair of jokers! so funny to watch!

Its looking good

I like the way you've put the heater way down so its not so visible. Do you not have the bubbles on your fluval 4? I'm wondering if this is giving me my hair algae problem. Your tank puts mine to shame )

Keep up the good work

 

[Ricey]

thanks for your comment joby! I do have the bubble attachment thing, but i dont have it on all the time... bit too noisey and not so good for photos.

if you have algae problems get a chinese algae eater! my one devours any trace of algae! very efficient. there is a pic of him on the bogwood above.

Incredible tank!

What is the beautiful plant in the center with the red leaves?

As always great shots of the tank, i dont think i would get tierd of seeing pic of that tank.

With the CAE Joby be careful they are very agressive when they mature, mine last night took on my 17" Black Shark and wanted to more of it, i found it today picking fights with the Auratus.

also...............

TOTM from me, i feel it should.

thanks everyone!

cometcattle - its a type Echinodorus.. i think it was called Rubra or Red Special.
it seems to be getting more and more red as it grows!

vip - the CAE did go through an aggressive phase when i introduced the balas.
They got harrased for a few days, but its all quietened down now (fingers crossed he wont wont become too much of a killer!)

Lovely layout. Have you considered a background, it would really improve the overall effect.

 

[breezer40]

Looks great! But a background would finish it off nicely

 

[Ricey]

your right actually! i did see rocky effect background that looks pretty good.
what do you think would look best? something fairly dark to bring out the colours?
