TANK IS NOWHERE NEAR FINISHED. Decor at the moment was only put in as a temporary hide for the fish, was a little restricted for cash once set up. My plan is to put a mild/darkish gravel to change the colours brought out by the fish, add one super large piece of wood as a feature item, plant substantial Val forests in the back/corners, maybe a couple of large swords - havent had any problems with plants and bichirs so far, swords are always good.
Shot G! looking good aye!
There is actually plenty of sand, huge piles of it created by the fx5 jet, and the bichirs push it out of the corners too. Tried Anubis plants but havent had any success yet.
Plecos poop way too much I find, unless these are different?
Need more lights too - going for marine blue, pink and more white I think, maybe an averagely dark coloured gravel that is easily distinguished from the black background would be good, that way I get the colour change without totally blanking the tank.
Kinda need to factor in the eventual size of the fish too, Jar will reach a good 50cm... But in terms of plants and wood there is plenty to do.
