My New 100Ltr Tank

[water_boy]

Ive managed to pick up a bargain of a Juwel Monolix (dont know exactly what model it is but its 100ltr capacity) with Stand and a whole load of extras for just £40

I love fish keeping but unfortunately do not have a lot of space in my life at the minute and unfortunately like os many others have just been made unemployed - so money is tight

This is probably due to those circumstances my last tank i can have in my current place of living but i must say i do love it.

Stocking:

11 Neon Tetras
8 Harlequin Rasbora
6 Peppered Cory
3 Powder Blue Dwarf Guarmi (2 female + 1 Male)
2 German Blue Rams (1 male + 1 Female)
2 Bristlenose Pleco

This is my new display tank as my old one has been taken over as a breeding tank for my beautiful Nigerian red face Kribensis but it is a bit smaller anyhow

My lovely female dwarf guarmi

She's a stunner,very lively and happy looking forward to picking up a female friend and male partner for them both in due course.

P.S. My apologies for the camera quality but i was using my Iphone...will get better pics when my photographer housemate pulls his finger out of his ****

Is there a mix of plastic and real plants in there?

Yes it is. Im normally not a big fan of the plastic and much prefer the real plants but the large center piece log ornament came with them attached and i thought they actually looked ok and went with the look and feel of the tank so i left (most) of them attached. All the other plants are real

I agree that the fake ones look good.

Are you sure that dwarf gourami is female? I always thought females were grey/silver/dull.

Yep, that's a male.

[water_boy]

the fin at the top is rounded and not pointed which means female i was told and have read and also females can hold coulour i have also read multiple times

 

[KittyKat]

The fin is unusually rounded, but my males also had rounded fins... on closer inspection, it could be female, but without seeing in person, I would still say male by default.

regardless of sexuality, its a beautiful fish, and stunning tanks you have, obviously have an eye for it!

 

[water_boy]

Thank you for your kind words fluffycabbage much appreciated.

Well im going to go with walkers101 assessment and the people who have seen it in person that have said my lovely fish is female...guess ill know for sure if i put in a handsome male and she lays her eggs
