Bosemans Lair

[AdAndrews]

Thought i would take a few pics of my 60cm 54litre, pretty low tech planted tank, just easycarbo and tpn+ daily, no special substrate, just bunged with any plants i have come across. It currently contains: 1 male bosemani(the daddy) 1 sunset platy, 1 female bn plec, 1 orange male guppy, 2 harlequin rasbora, 4 wcmm, 4 gold cloud mountain minnow.

feel free to leave comments/critique
thanks
Adam

ps. yes i know bosemani's shouldnt be kept in a 60cm, but im rehoming him when i get some shell dwellers in a couple of months

How do you do it...I genuinely don't understand. That's stunning. Seriously stunning.

And I'm glad to hear the rainbow is being re-homed. BUT, and it's quite a big but, any shoaling fish with those sort of colours swimming at the front of the tank is probably a relatively happy fish.

Ps. What are the plants bottom left

cheers guys.. theres an iccle bit of algae so not everything is pukka..
the plant in the bottom left is most likely to eb pogostemon helferi.. however there is also some crypts in there somewhere.. bascially just cram everything in and hope for the best

Ah right, so when I go to Uni and my tank gets a bit neglected then it'll become as stunning as that. Good to know! (hehe)

hehe.. im roping my granny in to dose the ferts every day when we go on holiday on friday she looked a little confused, but im sure she will be ok.

good luck at uni. what you studying? im intrested in doing freshwater biology after the 2 years in sixth form, but dont know to what type of job it will lead to? i mean where do you turn up to and ask i want to research fish

 

[Curiosity101]

Lol. Good point...

I'm doing Genetics.
I'll end up in a boring job in a lab for a few years after the degree is finished. But eventually when I have enough experience I hope to be able to apply for a really good job abroad.
Hopefully america.
