A place 4 my questions & ponderings as I build a 34 Gallons (127L) tank

Nice growth though still feel little slow. My frogbit just melted away - too much ripple & splash I think. The Vallis Nano is doing terribly too.

Thanks. Yeah the bonsai tree is doing well. The fish are all mad about it too! Cories will sit on top for a nap and I saw two Cherry barbs burrow inside it while doing some mating jiggles gives shade and hiding spots too. Really great seeing how much they all interact with it.

I'm really happy with both tanks now. They're very chilled out fish and even more active Endlers aren't aggressive. Nice to watch more peaceful interactions.

Updated pic. My Forktail Blue Eyed Rainbow Fish are due to arrive today. I had planned this tank for them but then didn't think I could get any and made the tank a lower temp with WCMM.

So now the rainbows will go into my smaller 58L tank with Endlers.

Thought I'd share a photo today to show how lovely the tank is. The stock works so well as it's a very chilled out tank.

My phone camera is bust so have to use selfie mode to get a pic. So update but with crap angle tank is doing great. My cory are constantly laying eggs but I leave them alone as I don't have capacity right now to breed.

I got an Albino Bristlenose Pleco. Will upload a decent pic of him/her tomorrow.

My Albino Bristlenose Pleco... Ghostdragon. He's a lovely fish. Very active & seems to get on great with all the other fish. The tank is 90cm in length so might try get a second Bristlenose, maybe super red. @NCaquatics i get why you've so many Cory & Bristlenose. They're just the best.

Ya got a very nice tank there, but I'm curious about the Bonsai - is that and actual bonsai tree or is it a drift wood trunk with java moss on top.?..I just never knew you can submerge a bonsai. If you can that makes for a great tank idea.

I was down in Seahorse last week and wondered why I hadn't seen any posts from you in a while.

Fish are very happy. It's been such a relaxing tank. Just the busyness of Xmas prep and are in and out of lockdowns keeping me busy

Here's my other tank that was once fish in cycle crashed mess.

Hope you're well

They call them bonsai but they are crafted driftwood and then I had to attach lots of xmas moss. The fish absolutely love it. They burrow into the moss, hide under it, nap on it

I have an order of blue eyed forktail they are holding onto for me. Waiting for them to get big enough to ship. It's been a long wait but so nearly there.
