Great fish mate. Hairgrass looks really lush too. Aren't the Tropheus Moori aggressive?

 

[DevUK]

Tank is looking fantastic Gill, and the fish look so happy!

I don't know much about the Tropheus Moori but this little chap has been on his own in various mixed community tanks at MA for a good 6 months or so. No one knew what it was or where exactly it came from but they never had any problems with the little guy. Seemed very cool and placid in the shop

Nice shrimp, i want some of them for the community when I can afford to get some its a shame they don't breed in fresh water or we could swap some.

Don't worry about Esfa stealing your tank... i still have mine

Very Very nice well done!

Not so far, but as Dev says, he was in variuos Community tanks in the LFS. But now that i have him i Really Like its character and will probably setup a species tank with moories in it. I like the Black and Yellow ones the most. And WOW in Rugby has them.

Yep they are all nice and happy.
There were so many fry from the Molly that i am feeding them to the Gaints.

Yeah, thats a Pity.
I now have a nice group of them,
7 Red Nosed
2 Amano
10+ Cherry - Although I only see them in the morning when they are scavenging in the plants and sand.
Can't wait for my LFS to get in the Variuos Shrimp Varieties that are in his list ATM

Very Very nice well done!

Thanks - I love how it looks ATM

Thanks
I might get another pot of hairgrass and really pack it in.
The only thing is, i will have to move the tank into the consevatory when we have the central heating system replaced. Thats gonna be a bummer. Will use a hopper to move it, so don't have to ruin the scape.

Little Update.

Added:
40 or so Coffee Bean Rasboras
20 Cherry Shrimp
4 Wood Shrimp
More Red Nose Shrimp
5 Hong Kong Plecs
3 different Species of Lined Pencil Fish - Soooooo Cooooool to watch gliding around like Sea horses.
Did add some more Female Rams, but they were killed by the males.

Added a another clump of Hair Grass and some other plant (Forgot the name Steve)
I do hardly any maintenance on it, just a water change and prune excess lilly pads.

CB Rasboras

I Bought one of MA's Acclimating Units. Amd God i wish i had bought it sooner. Excellent invention and made it alot easier to acclimate all the fish in one go. Just left it alone and it sank after the acclimation was complete.

Thats looks lieka great idea. Can you order these online?

The tank looks amazing BTW!!

 

[Gill]

Thanks,

I think you can order online thru tropicalfishfinder.
if not i am sure stang1 can sort something out for you.

Mmmmm Never really Thought about stats here goes:
Tank = 4*2
WPG = ? 3 tubes plantgro,power glo and 48k flourescent tube.
Substrate= Homebase Playsand.
Ferts = Just Tetra Pond Plant Food in 1st bucket of water on waterchange.
Co2 = XXXX Nope
Heating = just 1 150watt - never needed more than that.
Filtration = 1 Eheim 2216 and Eden 501 with PolyWool.
Dont Vac the bottom of the tank at all, just never seems to be dirty with Mulm.
Feeding = Hikari Micro Pelletts, Hikari Cichlid Gold/Supreme Pellets, Hikari Betta Bio Gold, Spirulina Pellets, Astha.... something, King British Catfish Pellets, Daphnia, Bloodworm, Mozzies, Spiders nests, Lettuce, Tomato, Cucumber, Cress, Mixed Salads, Carrot, Peppers, Mango, Banana, Small Amounts of Bread.

So your trick to getting all this lush growth is just strong lighting and a basic liquid fert routine? Nice
