si_sphinx Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonnz Posted July 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 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.

Dachende Posted July 1, 2012 Report Share Posted July 1, 2012 he was probably "prepping" him for dinner tonight :sml1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonnz Posted July 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 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 ..

Godly3vil Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 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.

jasonnz Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonnz Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 I have been growing some additional riccia which I plan to re-attach to the tiles this weekend.

Discusguru Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Looking good. Like the arrangement of the new drift wood too. Can't wait to see how the tank turn out once the plants are established. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
