ninjafroglet Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 ... but heres mine =D I set it up a few weeks ago with the help of the information on the forums here and various other people (Including Ryan/OEminX, my brother). Its a 90L Aquaone620 and is currently stocked with: 1 Koura, named Megatron 3 Fresh water mussels Numerous freshwater limpets and some snails that get squished on site On with the pictures! The Tank: This was before the koura decided to re-landscape, there is substantially less green now then there is here. Megatron: Mussels: Limpets: Our best efforts at taking pictures of them glowing One of the victims of the wee little cray: Anywho, that will be all for now. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they got a bit big, but I don't know anything about them... 90l is a Palace for a Koura. They dont get very big, 10cm max and it takes years for them to grow. The overseas (tropical) species are faster growng and get a bit bigger. Mine is in a 20l at the moment and has been for the 6 months. It has a little power filter, airstone and gets plenty of water changes of course. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 nice looking koura I just lost both of mine went to aussie for 3 weeks, filter crapped out and my entire tank died - had the flatmate "looking after" them, but she did not know what to do and unfortunately it was way to late by the time she contacted me gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
