critter_crazy Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 We have some green fire tetras at work, very cool looking little fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 So I popped in at Hollywood and got my very first occupants. 10 Ember Tetras and a Blue Male Plakat Betta who reminds me very much of my old one. Here's the photos of them getting settled in, will get a few more later. Next time I'll get another 10 Embers and a few Ottos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks guys! 8) Apparently they should all colour up like the biggest bright one in the photo once they age a little and get settled in. I'm really happy with the way they shoal so hopefully they stay like that! Definitely need to double the numbers though, maybe triple :nilly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 did you ever see Adrienne's ember tetras? They were almost a solid bright orange like jellybeans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 FTS with better colour as of yesterday afternoon. LHS. Starting to get a bit of algae on the old glosso leaves and a bit of brown algae on the glass, trying to keep the CO2 levels as high as safe to do so.

Godly3vil Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Looking real good Sam, can't wait to see it once everything's grown. :spop: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Beautiful I think some Echinodorus tenellus (the narrow leaf one) would look nice around the bases of the pieces of wood :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Eeek that last photo really shows the sorry state of the moss :oops: The stuff was dead before I tied it down but I was too lazy to sort it all out, the surviving moss is thriving though. What sword do I have Joe? I was told it's pygmy chain sword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 What sword do I have Joe? I was told it's pygmy chain sword. I thought is was dwarf sagittaria :dunno: I was refering to the plant that Sophia has in her 33 litre tank :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I have dwarf sag on the right foreground near the corner, just two plants. The rest is pygmy chain sword 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li@m Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Looking Awesome Sam :thup: @sophia- You should have gone to the meeting any way, because Adrienne was giving away Twisted val and chain swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamH Posted October 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Second week photo, the tank has been running for 14 days now and I'm very happy with the progress. Trimmed the hygro earlier this week, next I think the glosso will need a good cut back. Everything's growing, the Rotala and Hm took a while to settle in but now they're on their way up, the crypts are recovering, the hygro is of course going nuts, the glosso is taking over and the chain sword is sending out plenty of runners. Little bit of algae on the dying java fern leaves and some brown dust on the front glass and slow growing leaves but that's just the tank settling in. Bit of a tidy up with the water change tomorrow, figured out I can attach the hose to the mixer in the laundry so now more cold water changes.
