karina Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Antwan - do you find that they breathe faster than your other fish? I got a pair nearly 2 weeks ago and I haven't seen the male all week. Thought he had a swim bladder issue. Female won't eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 They seem to breathe at a normal rate. Doesn't sound very good about your ones, I hope they come right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even travelled to Rotorua for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I went away for a week for work and came back to a tank covered in cyano... bleh! I have some erythromycin on its way down now though to get it sorted. The front of the sand gets hit with the evening sun which caused it, same thing happened with the 6 footer when I had it. Chucked my spare FX5 on the tank too and it's made a hell of a difference. Creates a great current through the tank. I also got a 15000K bulb and I must say I like it! Here's a pic since it's been a while, will get more once the cyano is gone. All the crypts will be going soon and replaced with more light-loving species.

Joe Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 Despite the cyano the tank looks gorgeous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilknieval69 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 how do the plants like the 15K bulb? and does it look too blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 From the photo IMO it does look too blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I've only had the bulb for about a week, but I put the stem plants in not long after and they're growing really quickly. When I'm standing in front of the tank the light looks blue from above (ie looking down onto the lid) but I really like the colours it produces within the tank. Makes those neons pop that's for sure.
