Re: New planted tank journal!

Looking great!! The plants have filled in nicely! Are you putting anything else in there fish wise?

[eklikewhoa]

Re: New planted tank journal!

Thanks Naps, I don't think I will be putting much else in there unless I see something I must have.

Right now there is:::
3 Koi angelfish
4 Apisto.Cacatuoides 1m/3f
9 Gold white clouds (one disappeared somewhere or became victim of the python)
5 Otocinclus Niger
Amano shrimp, I don't know how many is left.

There is also two batches of apisto egg/wigglers so stocking will be pretty maxed out.

Re: New planted tank journal!

Thanks Mzungu!

Hopefully the Ammania gacilis gets a bit taller and more red!

Re: New planted tank journal!

I'm sure it'll get there. :)  Are you planning on keeping the tonina and limno. shorter than the rotala and ammania? How quickly do they grow in comparison to one another, do you know yet?

Re: New planted tank journal!

Yes I do plan to keep the Limno and Tonina shorter to hide the stems of the Rotala's. The Rotala's grow like weeds! I can trim to about 60-70% and it will lay over at the water surface again in about a wk-wk half while the limno has staye pretty much the same since Iput it in maybe grew an inch since with new submersed leaves, the tonina I have no idea since I just got it but I think it's a slow grower too.
