8O ......well then that would mean more than a couple of wafers then.....

i keep lots of mts, pond snail, rams horn and those apple-snail like with yellow/white shell with black strip on them, if i feed too much, the snail will take over the tank, thats why i decided not to keep oto anymore, and just go with amano...

hey mahoro, do you have any dwarf crays or small shrimp i.

while i was cleaning my cray tank, i broke the top of the tank... so i had to take out all the plants and try to catch most of the stuff inside and move them somewhere temp. while my new 10g is drying (painted back black) as of now, i place around 12 of them in my 20lg, but my puffers and betta and everything else in that tank decided that its early crayfish season and ate them all, all i got is 2 left, 1 male, 1 female, might have to get more from pedro from dallas...  but he is out of county now... sigh...

that seens a lot fish for a 10g...  cory does way better when they are in a 6+ more group...

Re: 10G Planted Tank (With Pics)

the cories and the loaches are going into the 125g when i deliver the rest of the fish to fishlady.
si it will just be the rasboras, otos, and a male blue angel ram when i am able to find 1.

Re: 10G Planted Tank (With Pics)

i love cories

i will also be collecting loaches and botia.

Re: 10G Planted Tank (With Pics)

oh nice, i love cories too, you should ditch the idea of having ram, and just keep 2 oto, and go with a doz of dwarf cory

Re: 10G Planted Tank (With Pics)

^^ I dunno ive got a pair of rams and they're crazy cool I think they would beat cories any day. Heck if I could I'd even get some really nice golden rams but I have no space for them :(
But of course to each his own.

I like how the tank is coming along, soon after so much triming you'll have more plants than you know what to do with. I'm in the process of redoing my 20L and will be discarding a lot of plants, I mean a lot, I wouldn't want them to go to waste so if you'd like I could shoot you a pm when I'm done.

Re: 10G Planted Tank (With Pics)

cool 8)
i also think rams look great, their colors are insane

Re: 10G Planted Tank (With Pics)

nah, nothing beats cories other then shrimps...  i always want to setup a super deep tank full of them, just to see they race all the way up to get air, lol
