thats absolutely rank what the courier company did. im glad all the fish are ok looks great in the tank aswell. is the scape developing the way you had it in mind?

looks sick man :DD

it may be to late, but for a good low tech planted tank a nutrient rich substrate play an important role..... is that just plain substrate?

forgive my ignorance :oops:

looks real natural, only thing i dont like is the different pebbles in contrast with the larger rocks. also in the future the swords upfront will look horribly out of place as they get bigger. perhaps move them backward and replace with dwarf sag?

ive never kept Cichlids, but isnt a bit on the small side for yellows and dems?

there you go. hmmm im not sure on that one, i guess its to late anyway thanks :Di cant wait for the didiplus to get dense

thanks maybe get some reading glasses? haha there are 3 species of fish in there already

comon man get that co2 going this scape has to much potential to fall victim to neglect. also IMO i think you should jsut have glosso around the rock formation and just e. tennelus within the rocks, no hydroctocle or anubias.

Ballin' some repens would look sweet in there

thanks man thanks :DD

hey angel, im sure you can get those shrimp in the us they are mosquito rasbora (boraras briggittae). thanks thats a massive complement

can you be more specific on the light tubes, watt and spectrum?
