wilson Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 did you add all these fish at once ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 they have been co-existing in a 125l tank currently, but they will be added to the new tank when it has been cycled etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markoshark Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 http://s78.photobucket.com/albums/j106/markoshark/?action=view¤t=TankLayout.jpg Scale of 1 pixel = 1 mm (wow, that picture is horrible...) Kind of to scale lol You will need to click the fullsize image link to make it viewable. I will occasionally hide food in the sand for the loaches to dig up, should be interesting to watch them Granite / marble should be ok in the tank right?

markoshark Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Also, any further ideas on fish etc would be helpful as well. I have a fully cycled filter, i have bacteria laden substrate, and i have the granite & wood in a bucket of fishwater as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilson Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 a Bichir will end up eating the smaller fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted June 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 As will the BGK, and Pantadon I'm thinking about a couple of Blue Rams, and perhaps some Cardinals as dither fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markoshark Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Couple of questions about my filtration: Am i best to use a single external Canister (404), or am I better off also using a small internal filter to boost the waterflow? Any ideas on other plants would be helpful, i'm looking for a little bit more colour - reds would be nice, and pref. hardy plants as i'm inclined to beat them up a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted June 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 So. My tank arrived tonight (Yesterday), depending on when you went to sleep. I think i've bitten off more than I can chew. The tank DOMINATES my room, its awesome, the way i'm going, i'll be wall-to-wall fish very quickly (Thats a good thing, right..?) Final dimensions: 130cmx45cmx60cm (LWH) I'll put up pictures as I get it up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markoshark Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 Is it possible to put a couple of frogs in the tank as well? Floating platform thingy, or will they eat my fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I have going on 4000 stored there)... and they will (as David well points out)... re-size "automatically" if you set it up in your account.. or profile. Let me know here when you have resized and I will remove the unwanted posts and comments. Bill Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I have it to automatically resize 1024*768, so i'll re-upload smaller versions. How many GBAs should I have in a tank of that size? 4? 6? Over the last week, the alge in my 3foot tank has EXPLODED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
