Rio 240 Tank Journal

Nice to see everything is going ok, i wonder what actually happened to that krib Tank looks great so far, should look alot better with some greenery.

Why not look at getting anubis nana, or the bigger anubis. They like shaded areas, and there is alot of them in your tank. I've circled the areas where the anubis would thrive.........

A nice looking plant too.

Just another idea for you, im full of them

Got some Vallis coming for the background

Need to get some kind of moss for my slate/wood.

Wow I just finished reading this and am very inspired. Your tank looks great! Seems like you are having a great time with it as well.

Thx for keeping us updated. Can't wait to see what the tank looks like with a background.

First batch of plants I got came from Swallow Aquatics in East Harling which I wouldn't recommend.

The second lot are from someone I know who can get them trade price for me which is a result. Should look a lot nicer once I get my other plants in next Saturday. I've been dosing TPN+ for the past week now so I'm hoping to see a bit of growth in my plants within the next week or two.

As for Plecs, I have been looking at Gold Nuggets and know the person I get my fish from has them in stock. The only problem I have heard of is that they can be gits to acclimatise sometimes with the fish dying within a few days after introduction. Also trying to decide whether or not it would be a good idea to get another male Krib for my tank. The female I have hasnt been the same since the male went missing.

Suggestions on improvements welcomed as always!
