My First Attempt Of Fish Tank Please Look :) And Eggs

[jpeterson]

I would agree. My friend bred a pair of pink convicts and they were very very good parents. It's the other fish in the tank(is any) that will eat the fry.

Some plants would look amazing in that tank!

But what plants. i want some plants what i dont have to look after and that will be easy for fish to hide in. but most of all easy to look after tho

Nice tank and well done breeding the convicts. you could do with some more hiding places though

How can i make some hiding places..? i aint going to buy no oranaments... ive spend so much money on ornaments from my local pet stores, The paint always seems come off in the water and they look ugly. I want somethink fish can hide in but no plants, But may buy ornaments online if they are decent

Or if you eat lots of coconuts like I do (I don't), then you could make some coconut caves with the coconut shells

Lol i dont eat coconuts tho oh well

OK, ummm, do you by any chance grow palm trees?

Lmaoooo well in the country im from (uk) i doubt u can ever grow them loool

Oh
If I eat a coconut in the next few days, I'll post it to you

loool do u just put half the coconut in there? lol dont it effect the fish?

No, it will rot. Unless you want a rotten coconut cave
You have to scoop/eat the delicious white stuff to leave the brown shell bare, then boil it to remove anything harmful

After boiling I dont think its necessary to turn it into a skinhead lol
But to be on the safe side, I would give it a haircut or a Mohikan!

HAHA, well how about this! The java ferns you can tie to the coconut shells with some thread and they will grow amazingly on it! You could make the tank look really great! This pic may help change your mind....

Wow really? but would i have to put anythink time of food or anythink in the tank for the plant?

You would need some fertilizer tablets which you plant beside the roots of the plants. You would also need some decent lighting. Like 2x 30W+ blubs

Java Fern is really easy to grow, lowlight is enough for it. For better growth, does the tank with a liquid fertilizer like Tetra Plantmin. But make sure the Fern's rhizome is above the substrate.

Yep my lights r really good but i dont think im going to go thru with that becuase if i need that it scared the fish everytime i put lights on and they never come out until the lights off. Maybe just coconuts will do lol

Yup! For plants that are submerged under the substrate I strongly suggest you use fertilizer tablets.

http/www.tropica.com/layouts/beginner/a-fancy-aquarium-%E2%80%93-here-and-now-(128-l)/description.aspx There is a layout done for you. Plants are listed and are very very easy to look after.

Its not confusing at all, its just like adding dechlorinator to a bucket of water, only its adding plant additives to the tank + its not necessary by any means. Also even crappy lights will do, bright lights might burn the leaves apparently
