F1 Chimba Fry - Tank setup & progression

after lookin at the failure and went for the 2nd attempt.

Way better than the first attempt. Try pushing the rocks on the left and right side a little closer together. Use the smaller ones for the foreground and to connect the two piles so to speak.

i kinda thought bout it and i did it on the left side lol. i read your post after messing with the rocks, thanks for the advice..i might have to try it again if i get some more medium rocks.

When I pick rocks I usually get 1/3 big rocks, 1/3 med and 1/3 small. It looks good, keep it up.

water finally cleared up after waterchange so i thought i would take decent pics of the frys upclose and shoot a video. (yeah im addicted)

I think the holey rocks look a lot better! If you have more, that would be even better.

looks great man... WOW what a difference the tank looks from a black background to the light blue. Its amazing man...the tank looks so much cleaner and sharper.

Definately the right move... congrats...

You are off to a good start. I would suggest some more rocks and follow SSR Prelude's advice about size when selecting rocks

Nice looking tank, I like more the new background but you need add more rocks IMO, just for a better look.

[muuunkeeyy]

thanks for the suggestions on adding more rock. i wasnt planning to add anymore rock and just really wanted 2 big ones on each side. this would make cleaning up alot easier! i plan on letting the fish fill the tank rather than rocks :) thanks for the input guys! blue was always the way to go from the start!

after swapping out the rocks for the holey rock and changing the background..the tropheus seem to not come out as much. they i have a very big one inside the holey rock on the left and like 18 others sitting around the rock. on the other side there is like a few on the right side. its kind of weird to not see them swim in the middle much? i feed on the left side because the aqua clear pushes water down. any suggestions?
