Melanotaenia Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Very nice Warren I can see how the neon tetras must look superb :lol: BTW what's Tenelus? And where did you get your Glossostigma from?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Echinodorus tenellus - mini chain sword. Organism in ChCh had glossostigma recently. My son is coming home from ChCh for Christmas and I could see if he has time to pop in and get a pot of it for you if you like. It was $8 something I think. I will be in Wgtn on Jan 15, 16 so could bring it with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke* Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Massive-a-tank! Awesome work Warren. I'm guessing it's 820 front to back? The fish must love it. Is it just neons or a mix with cardinals in there too? Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanotaenia Posted December 20, 2004 Report Share Posted December 20, 2004 Echinodorus tenellus - mini chain sword. . Ahh... thanks Caryl Organism in ChCh had glossostigma recently. My son is coming home from ChCh for Christmas and I could see if he has time to pop in and get a pot of it for you if you like. It was $8 something I think. I will be in Wgtn on Jan 15, 16 so could bring it with me I have rebuilt a 80l tank in the last two days and have decided the I really need glossistigma, but think I remember it in the LFS for about 7$, I will let you know though.. I also need the E tenellus now so if you know where to get that would be great (Warren? :-? ) And I have been meaning to write an article/send you photos Caryl for a while (always something better to do re: tank with free time :oops: ) so I might even be further obligated..
