Isnt it just! I cant believe how snugly it fits, its fab!

Im going to go for fairly planted with the plants starting in the middle at the back and coming round the sides in a c shape - its also going to be sand substrate

Going to stick a few caves in for the plec and kribs

So far, im having my plec and kribs from my other tank, and the red eyed, and lemon tetras. Thinking about 2 bolivian rams to go in there too - suggestions would be good
Also looking at getting a yo yo loach for my other tanks infestation , and also looked at banded khuli loaches

 

[mixmaster jay]

it really does sound fantastic tory can't wait to see it done
im no good at suggesting stocking im affraid lol

[mixmaster jay]

shouldnt be too much longer and I will have pics - am transferring mature media and water from another tank !

My kribs are looking like theyve spawned - the female has a nice bright purple belly, and the male is keeping sentry in the bogwood ive got so watch this space.

Will take some close ups of the fish when theyre in

Nice new tank tory Im getting ready to set up my new tank , after a 2 hour drive in each direction to pick it up lol (no i didnt realise it was that far). What sort of light wattage do you have? Also, i had some kribs in with my bolivians and they were great together However i lost the male of both pairs, and they both seemed sad. After a week they played together, swam together, the lot. Was great to watch. Krib has moved home however.
Ill keep an eye out on your tank and maybe use an idea or two of yours

Goodluck,
Indir

P.S That is a perfect fit inbetween your wall there

Thanks Lisa, I put it in, in the hopes of making it a bit brighter - my other tank next to it in the other recess hasnt got one and it looks really dark against the cream wall. But I certainly like the effect the background is giving off, so think am going to buy some more for my smaller one!

Thanks Indir, thats good to know re the fish behaviour together. I will check the wattage for you when the other half gets up!! No worries about the ideas - ive been trawling pics for weeks trying to find the look I want!

Was just asking so we know on what plants you can have or cant have, and the like. Because from memory (ive been busy setting up the tank) you sai you wanted to have plants

Let us know and we can give you some ideas Well im off to set up the tank completely. 2/3 full, waiting for the water to heat up a little and see if i can figure out my sump lol. Keep an eye out

Indir
