firefish Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 A few months ago this tank was a bear bottomed GBA raising tank. Then I brought some midnight black fine gravel & added some young fish & plants. One of two young whiptails young Apistogramma eunotus Full view with plants The whiptails will be in there until they're large enough to go in my larger tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I like the catfish! :lol: reds and lancelotas! a few dozen more fancy plecos and you will have a tank like mine! do you like royal whiptails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 yeah I like royals - but they grow to big for my tank. Hopefully one day I'll get a tank big enough for lanceolates, reds,royals and twigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Updated pics: I'm planning on putting a black background on. Any suggestions or opinions?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 That looks good, and will look even better with the black background. My only suggestion would be to push the coconut into the gravel so then only entrance is that little hole. If your apisto's spawn in there it will be less area for her to guard which means more babies survive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 What are the dimensions of this tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Why is the box filter at the front? Would it not be better hidden in the other back corner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Oh - I forgot to say about that filter. It was there for when I had lots of little gbas and i'm planning on taking it out soonish, I just want to make sure that the tank is stable before i do so (leaving just the fluval in the back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefish Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 both filters have been in there for the whole time. I'll take out the front filter when I next do a waterchange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
