ajbroome Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Folks, Just about got my indoor community tank to where I want it. The plants are settling in and many of the swords and crypts (ex-Len, Rob and Warren) are sending up new leaves. I'm about to put together a fertilizer mix to keep them a bit happier as well as improve the light spectrum they're getting with some new tubes but even without that I'm pretty happy with the way they're doing. The tank, you may remember, is almost 4 ft x almost 2 ft by almost 2 foot. Not a conventional size but the price was right... Anyway, the fish population consists of a pair of Angels (ex-Cat), 8 Corydoras metae (ex-Derek), 5 Aplocheilus lineatus (ex-Fee), a male Aphyosemion scheeli (ex-Me), 4 Ancistrus (ex-Bruce), 9 Harlequin Rasboras, 4 clown loaches and 4 Neon Dwarf rainbows (all ex-Wet Pets). I plan on adding 4 SAEs and perhaps a nice pair of Pearl Gouramis. Maybe a red-tailed shark too... My problem is, I want another type of larger (Angel or Gourami sized) peaceful mid-water fish. Preferably red but orange or bright yellow would work too. The tank is primarily viewed from 10 or 15 feet away and while most of the fish are visible at various times, I want something obvious and attractive to be a focal point. Just to make things difficult, there are various things I *don't* want: No, more Angels, Gouramis, or albino fish of any sort. Also nothing that will dig or eat the plants. So, any suggestions? I'm considering the one of the red rainbowfish such as Glossolepis incisus or Melanotaenia trifasciata but would really prefer something else... You input, as always, is welcome. Andrew.

KerryO Posted March 20, 2003 Report Share Posted March 20, 2003 Andrew, how about posting a picture of your tank, I'd sure like to see one. I'd like to see a lot of other peoples tanks too. It would sort of help to put a face to the name, so to speak. Cheers, Kerry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll be borrowing a 'digimital cramera' this weekend so will try and remember to do a pic then. Got some more Stapeliads in flower to record 1st though Andrew.
