The Forgotten Valley - 60l

[Rlon35]

black neons would look good, i can never find them around here though
how about harliquins, they look very nice in a shoal

yes they are another option but they are very popular and i want my tank to be different

^^^^^^^^^^

I have this dwarf rainbow fish that would look great in a school. They develop spilets/runners from there fins when they mature. By the way, Aaron, nice tanks. What is that spidery green plant that is planted in spots. That is a very cool plant, and it loks like it may do well in my gravel. I hope you know which one I am referring to...

Yes they are nice, might be a little big for this tank though?

the plant is pogostemon helferi (sometimes called 'downoi') it likes CO2, but other than that a fairly easy plant.

OK...maybe I can send you a picutre as these fish that were described as 'dwarf rainbows' are much smaller, and differently patterned than the darf rainbows I have googled. To me, it is an unusual fish, and it;s supposedly going to grow a tiny but more, with spindlers trailing from its fins. I am going to do another youtubevideo of my tank, so perhaps I can point him out to you and you can give him some consideration. I would also like to know exactly what species he is...lol.

I love than 'downoi' plant. Is it Southest Asian (Vietnam?)? I am just about sold on adding a real CO2 system to my tank, but money is tight in the US right now...sucks.

how about threadfin rainbows, i saw some today and they seem nicely coloured and only get to about 2"

 

[aaronnorth]

Thanks for all the comments

Rlon, i thought they got to 5cm? but what i was also thinking is that that they have a deep body, unmlike tetras and rasboras etc. You can give me any info/ video etc please.

lilfishie, not sure on threadfins, i feel they might be to distracting for the tank, i would love them i fi get a bigger tank, i am planning a 240l/ 4ft for the future though

Thanks again.

Whats that plant just infront of the rock, not the grass stuff, it bigger then that. And what rocks are they?

 

[aaronnorth]

Pogostemon Helferi

i got the rocks from back garden, they are safe as i did the vinegar test. A good range of rocks are available from here:
