Hi everybody, this is my first time here, i'm from Italy and i just wanna show you my last tank reproducing a west african biotope.

here the link to my discussion on an italian fishes & aquatic plants forum...

http://www.acquariforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10824

At this time there's no fishes on the tank, just plants. Some types of Anubias... Gilletti, Bartheri, Hastifolia, Batheri nana, then Crinum and Bolbitis, all species of this biotope.
The fishes will be Pelvichachromis Taeniatus "Dehane" (hard to find) a couple, Nolebias Ansorgii 10/15 and snails like Neritina Natalensis.

Stefano :)

The background is 100x45 cm and a thickness between 5 to 12 cm near the roots...

I will translate parts of the article soon.. anyway the tank is 180 liters, for the background I have used the polyurethane and natural elements like leaves of poplar, stones, several sands, pieces of screw root and grass sand bank.

Thanks for posting this over here Dabolox!

You already know my thoughts on this, it is brilliant.

Once the plants fill in it will be GREAT.

Would you mind telling us some tank specifications please - tank, size, lighting etc?
