Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Well its been a while since been on here, have a lovely rio 300L tank(once fixed) and cant decide what to put in it.

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 ooo some nice suggestions, the reason for not wanting too heavily planted was dont have too much spare time so wanting something relatively easy care, as opposed to my last planted tank which was a pain as it grew too well and forever trimming and what not. oooo didnt think of killifish, if someone can give me a bit more info on setting one up and or people to talk to to get hold of killies without spending a large fortune that could be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Its a rio 300! just have a foreground of glosso and some rocks. The tank would be a little too hot for natives without a chiller - but that's a neat idea if you like native fish. I would have a catfish tank. - pictus cats, whiptails, plecos, cories. Doesn't need to be heavily planted, but you sure do have the lights to grow just about anything you want. Hows that parrot of yours doing?
