My Dp Tank Setup..

[youngfisher]

nelly & youngfisher, you guys are muppets lol

I think the tank looks great, I agree with curiosity101 that driftwood is lovely. You may find you need a couple more plants in the foreground to break up the line of sight, but I think you would be fine for now, just keep an eye on their temperaments, then you can make any adjustments you feel you need to, a very pretty tank set up.

Shrimp are often good tank mates, but you may find you dont get many baby shrimp.

Minx - I will message you in about 30-60mins with todays readings mate

Im waiting in anticipation

 

[youngfisher]

Omg nelly kari herself has posted on my topic

Yeah, I will do that kari

I wouldnt mind about them being babys. I will see how adandrews gets on with the shrimp. - Got to finish cycling my Cichlid Tank and get some fishies for that first, then I will take one of the sponges from the cichlid tank into this tank and hopefully speed that cycle up.

hmmm

looks good mate, looks very nice

Like its been said, i think a few more plants still!

if you are after an algae eater, have you looked at shrimps? go for a fairly biggish type, and put them in first; remember no copper in the tank water

i was gonna say a bulldog pleco/pitbull pleco, but im not sure if they would fir; and you would need excessive filtering ^^

anyhow! good luck!

 

[youngfisher]

Im not after an algea eater all that much - But I just love the plecs

- I will add more plants if needed. Im not sure if any of the plants have had copperin previously - And this tank was used at p@h so im guessing they would off.

So I think shrimp is a nono

Lovely looking little tank, i got one for £35 with light, heater & filter. Think they marked the price up wrong at the LFS

 

[youngfisher]
