David R Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Frazer thats why my tanks are usually plantless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 yeah, guess so, thats what your gonna get with cichlids (severums especially +uaru) :roll: , prob better to go with wood attached ones like moss, fern and anubias. BTW its an 's' not a 'z' in my name lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Oops! Plants attached to wood will work with some cichlids, but the uaru will actually nibble on the driftwood! Anything green doesn't stand a chance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 yeah, depth of tank and heigh and swimming space for aro. silver aro or asian aro? depending on what species, silverf really needs much space and probably prefer no wood unless youhave a mega monster tank. if the aro spooks, or attacks another fish and jets in the water, could puncture eye ball in sharp bits of wood.

Duncan7 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 could puncture eye ball in sharp bits of wood. One of my large dats dis this, but healed up perfectly, i removed the wood after it happened... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwiplymouth Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 My 2200x 600x700. 1000L+ inc sump I am far from happy with it and plan to strip it bare and change it to an African tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted April 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 Nice tank kiwiplymouth Reckon if you switch the substrate, take out the pipes and rearrange the wood (or get new stuff), then add some colour or character with geophagus species, clown loaches, arowana etc = big difference, dont give up on the monsters yet.

henward Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 it really depends on the fish you keep. a 400 litre for me is way to small for the company i keep. but for you it might be ok. whats putting people off large tanks is cost, maintenance, food cost, fish cost. ALL COST related. not sentiment. SO if someone was to say to you....that you woudl not have to fork out the cost - or maintain it, then you would probably do it if you had the space. so..... in saying what i said above, everyone would LOVE to have a big tank, its only a matter of priorities of what you spend your resources on:D 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 For me it isn't the cost - it is having the space to put it! I am hoping to get a 6ft soon but that is as big as I can go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted April 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 6ft is great caryl, you know you want to put something big in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
