very nice!!!!!! yah i cant really see the fish so when you clear the water up maybe but i like the new layout alot more its nice

thanks. yeah the water got a little darker cause i added a few more leaves. i let it soak over night and was hoping all the tannins leaked out. i guess not =P got my eheim filter hooked up and i love it.

now i gotta to get the plants i mentioned, maybe a light fixture and those damn apistos! lol

i tried to take more pictures but these fishes are always on the go.

why dont you next time boil the leaves and keep doing that till he water runs clear. they seem much more colorful then those stupi pictures. yah so does he breed those apisto?

Yeah, next time i wil boil the leaves. I need a SLR camera to capture the tank. The pictures dont really do it justice IMO.

With the plants i mentioned a few pages back..i found some on a website but $30 for shipping!?!?

The filter is working out great! there is less of that slime and sludge.

I need some scavengers to eat up all the bloodworms that the tetras dont eat. any one have any suggestions??

can i get more input/comments/suggestions from people? lol there are over 6,000 views

and thanks to everyone who have posted in this thread. i really appreciate it! you guys have helped me alot throughout the process of this tank

dirrtybirdy · 04-15-2008, 09:13 PM

i have 2 cories, i forgot the name..i think it was acauzul or something. i otto (going to buy 4 more) and waiting for the apistos.

i would really build up the cory cat school. it will appear more natural and they will clean alot more

dirrtybirdy · 04-15-2008, 10:04 PM

i have 2 in the tank right now barely even come out. i rarely see thim. i dont know if i want some more. i really want more ottos. i believe the one i have right now in the tank is a female. she is really plumped with eggs.

bratyboy2 · 04-15-2008, 11:13 PM
