The New Tank


mitch

Recommended Posts

It has taken a long time (6 Months) but my tank is now up and going. We set it up with plants etc etc and then TRYED to let it do its thing for 4 weeks and then put some fish in, but as the tank came with 6 free fish i lasted 4 days and had to put them in. (4 Show guppies & 2 platys, dont like them they look out of place) so in they went along with 2 Bristlenose catfish.

So in the frist 2 weeks i lost 2 guppies but found 5 babies.

Week 4 i put in 6 Cherry barbs (2m 4f) now i have just put in 6 Angels.

The tank needs time for the plants to take off though some are doing well now....

But something is missing from the tank.. i know i might have to give away 2 of my Angels when they get bigger but i was thinking about Jewel-3 Striped Rainbows or Gourams for colour but with the size the Angels get too i think that there will be no room.

The tank is 130ltrs 62x39x72

LOL mitch I know what you mean, it took me 3 months of planning before I even bought a tank... :D . Lucky find with the baby guppies, looks like you'll probably be getting a lot more guppies soon... or maybe not if the angels see to em first :wink:

Yes they seem to like the guppies....as long as they leave the male alone he is the only one i like, the females are so plain. But like i said somthing is missing and im not sure what to do to fix it.

Just a note........Dont have a artificial tree stump with a Bristlenose catfish because even with bog wood in the tank they still eat the paint work off. In fact you you could say they like that better than the bog wood.
