My Tanks

[DaveA76]

as some of you may remember i was aking advice about 6 weeks ago on starting up another tank well its up and running and the fish are doing real well

here is a pic of my original tank which is now home to "ozzy" the red tiger oscar

and here is my new addition, i did have it a bit more planted than it is now but my silver dollar decided to trim the plants back a bit so he is now living at my brothers house
it is home to
5 x neon tetra
2 x peppered coydora's
4x zebra danios
4 x platys (2x blue 1x sunset 1 x tuxedo)
1 silver tip
1 albino ruby shark
15 ++++ malaysian trumpet snails

Nice looking tank. Will look better with some more plants and maybe some bogwood instead of ornaments imo, but thats just me.

Like the top one.

personally i think you should make the neons up to 8 as they are a shoaling species and fin nipping if present wil be eliminated. and they will be allot happier in a group of 8 or more

Didn't even see there was a stocking list lol.

Adding more neon's sounds good to me, and with an open tank like that it'll look better.

Corys prefer bigger groups of 5 or more, though its not essential it will give some more life to the bottom of the tank. Danio's tend to be happier in groups of 5-6 as well, and the tank would look better with a couple more.

bogwood will be a future addition but the plants will come first as i want a lot more plants in there

Understandable. Post some more pic's when the new plants have settled in their, has the potential to be a really good looking tank.

Looking a bit empty. Don't like the ornament with holes in but other than that and with a few plants and rocks it will look good.

ha ha im not keep on the ship the one with the holes or the one next to it but they are in at the mo to take some plainness away from the sand till the plants are in

forgot to ad there are 15 malaysian trumpet snails well there were when i got them but have noticed a good few smaller ones over the last few days

I think your tank would look beautiful with some more plants in it.

It looks a great size too.

lol it did have 25 + plants ( stems) in it about 3 weeks ago and looked a bit different but my 5 year old silver dollar decided they were in his way and they tasted too good lol

 

[DaveA76]
