hovmoller Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 Yuk! can't stand the hair grass in this beautiful setup. Have you ever seen a real black water biotope with hair grass? :sage: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisP Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 :sml2: I know I know. I'll see how I feel about it in a weeks time. It will probably come out though. I'm considering thinning out the middle pieces of bogwood a little. Not drastically, just a minor rescape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 tank looks beautiful, don't change it except maybe to take out the hairgrass :gigl: your sick fish will eat when he feels ready to, though it's sad to see them not eating &c:ry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted April 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 The fish died today. A little sad, I was thinking he was going to improve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisP Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Quick update to see how the tank has progressed. Without many plants the tank doesn't really change much over time. But somehow it still manages to. :sml2: I swapped out the Lampeye tetra for some (15ish) ember tetra. I wanted the tank to look bigger than it is, and the ember tetra help with that. Some are colouring up nicely, yet some are still quite dull/silvery. My Red (yet very brown) whiptail is eating again. I've managed to feed him some white worms from some tweezers. Cories are doing well too. I am still on the hunt for some apistos though! :evil: I'll upload a video soon because I'm not really that good at using my camera.

Insectile Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Nice work! tank is looking really good. Any chance of some shots of the fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisP Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 The chance would be very low. I'm not good with my camera but from what I gather low light = slower shutter = blurry photo. I could use a flash but that results in horrible photos. If anyone knows any tips I am all ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisP Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Thanks. I think I'd like to swap the sticks for some more root looking sticks. But I don't know where to find any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgustipated Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 i don't know your end of the country.. i am going on a driftwood hunt soon. will focus on river mouths at beaches, especially beaches that have forests or forestry industries nearby.

DennisP Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I think We're lacking on both river and woody fronts down here. I don't really know where to look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
