Lazy_Loach Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Everyone, Just signed up...am looking for advice for a new tank, which as my name suggests, will hopefully be low maintenance....like low low low maintenance....but I'll post that in the newbies corner somewhere.... 8) . I currently have a 160L tank with some tiger and odessa barbs, bristle nose thingies and a couple electric yellows (an impulse buy off TradeMe) and a 200L community tank with a bit of everything in it (sword tails, red tail sharks, silver sharks, neon tetras, black widow tetras, damios, rummy nose tetras, plecos, a loach or two, and a bunch of other fish who's name I fail to remember. This tank is pretty heavily stocked as some of the fish that came with the 160L tank were relocated to the community tank - so keeping the nitrates low is a challenge....as is the never ending battle with the black beard algae (not bearding at the moment, but black crap on all the plants nonetheless... I'm finding the fish keeping quite fun (when all goes well) and utterly infuriating when it doesn't....I think for me the main selling point is the "restful" affect of the tank on the family...the 'fishiness' of it all (don't shoot me) is an unfortunate, but very necessary, prerequisite. Right...that's the intro done (I think) now off to start my quest for a low maintenance tank... See you round! The Lazy Loach.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
