July 1, 201214 yr comment_488055 With plecos or bristlenose in there you might find the riccia goes everywhere, if they leave it alone it will look awesome. They made a mess of it in my tank. Otherwise I can see this is going to be a great looking tank Report
July 1, 201214 yr Author comment_488108 When you see your tank in the morning and you have a cory with his eyes missing - you begin to wonder who the culprit is .. then you see your BGK ... He is moving to a new tank today - After living in my community tank since he was a baby .. and have no issues with him ... but then again - he is getting bigger now. Water is a bit yellow this morning after the new wood was added. But I have some purigen to go into the filter later today - It will be interesting to see how well it works for me. Report
July 2, 201214 yr Author comment_488140 BGK is out of the tank for trying to kill another fish. He is *now* in another tank. kribensis have almost all but demolished the riccia. They are moving too. I don't know why I was expecting them to play nice .. Report

July 2, 201214 yr comment_488257 how long did it take to catch 5 kribensis .. 2 hours. oh sigh. Anyways .. done and I have for you .. tank layout number 3 .. in second. Last time I had to remove my breeding pair of kribs I tried for an hour than ended up just pulling EVERYTHING out of the tank and lowering the water level to about 100mm and even then they weren't easy, damn fish.

July 3, 201214 yr Author comment_488326 The discolouration has decreased slightly following a water change and the addition of purigen to my filtration system. The riccia is no more damaged than it was last night - so very happy about that. I will be dosing some additional ferts today again ! Only the second time so far that I am putting liquid ferts into the tank. Everything seems to be growing as intended. Report
