Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

well i added some more stuff to the tank today. i put in the central piece of wood. (it looks alittle different because of the few inches of substrate in he tank now) the others arent sunk YET (they will oh yes they will) and i added more fish hurray. i added 10 threadfin rainbows (got a great deal on them, but mike had little ones for a little less then what i paid for mine. so go check him out at sunny's. oh yeah mike thats the more common name is see them labeled as not featherfin, but whatever they are cool. wil try to have picks up soon.

Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

here are some pictures of how the tank is looking now, i added the red nose shrimp from my 29 gallon tank and one cherry shrimp to see how it does. i also added 3 siamese alge eaters and a big asian wood shrimp or bamboo shrimp (whatever u want to call it) and one of the pieces of drift wood.

Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

the tank is doing ok. the SAE's are slowly taking care of the beard alge. i think a whoel lotta shrimp will be a great help so its time to start breeding some cherry shrimp. lost my o cat for some reason the water tested perfectly clean and everyone else is super happy. poor litttle ocat.

Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

bought them all out of Mike's plant tank aka i got them from Sunny's(floating on the top as little sprigs) it sems like they are taking well and starting to grow slowly. some of the plants are really starting to take off. got a new leaf coming in already on the dwarf anubias i got from Tim a ways back. and the swords are growing like crazy.

Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

yeah he complained about someone cleaning him out of them at the LHA fish swap. i proudly owned up to buying them all.

Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

I got some from mike as well but didn't notice any vals

[Tiapan]

Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

it all depends on when you went. i was there i guess 2 weeks ago and got all of the corkscrew val, and all of his anubias with TIm. i dont know when his plants come in maybe post that question on Sunny's thread.

Re: My 60 gallon planted tank

Well the tank is coming along nicely. the alge probs are not getting out of hand but slowly dwindling down. i added some fish recently. 3 OTOS and a rubber lip pleco. the najas grass is growing very well. my Vals are growing so crazy they have 3-5 shoot runners coming off from some of the them with the runners already reaching 5 inches tall. the crypts are kinda stable 1 week and not so much the other but they keep sprouting new leaves. lots of them. some of the shrimp are showing eggs, including the red nose and the ghost. will  load pics when i get the chance, will try ot get pics of shrimp eggs and vals in particular.
