camtang Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I got the tank set up from Kiwiplymoth about 8 months ago, stocked with his amazing selection of fish. My original plan was always to change it to a Tang tank, but then my plan evolved to a Tang and Pleco tank. Up until the last couple of weeks I havnt felt that I could share this tank as my own, but now I have put my own thoughts, look and fish selection into it I feel its time to share. Tank is currently more set up for the Plecs over the Fronts as they seem to be able to addapt a bit easyer from what I have read.But once the Calvus, Comps and Leleupi have grown out the tank will have less wood and more rock work.As well as changing the substract to a black sand. Also not all of the plecs will be living in here for ever once I sort out my Aro tank and planted tank (Aro Vs Planted thread) some will be removed and others maybe added. I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I have enjoyed taking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came with the big L014 2 gold nuggets, the big common ( i cant tell the diffrence in the common plecos,if someone could help me that would be great.) and the choc talker. Nice tank/fish.

camtang Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Love that big L14!! Yeh its a stunner, since I have moved things about I see it and the other plecos a heck of a lot more. It is great! maybe one day itll be a planted tank Funy you say that, my flatmate and I were talking about that last night.Maybe a planted tank is in the pipeline.... Looks awesome dude! Are you adding any rocks or keeping it with just the wood? I do realy like the wood only open look (David R has inspired this) but I will be adding a few rock soon, I just need to find the ones that I want and put them in to match the tank I guess. I have some ferns and Anubius to add so I mite attach them to the rocks. I am a little disapointed in the colour of the substrate, I wanted jet black. But considering it was free I can't complain. And it has done its job, it has brought some colour out in the fronts and doesn't trap the poop. So mission accomplished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camtang Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 They normaly move round a bit more, but seem to get spooked and cluster behind that rock area if I get to close witha camera. They don't care if the kids are running around, just me when I don't have food in my hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
