Yeah it’s tricky, I’ll definitely consider it more carefully when I’m redoing this in few months. Wow, I think I’ve picked my Blairgowrie poorly as there is definite lack of ocean front! Otherwise it’s in beautiful part of the world by the edge of the Highlands.

My other tank is 260l and has so much plants and algae that I doubt amanos, if they still are there, would bother with it. Curiously A.reinickii also grows well there even if it’s deep low energy tank with fairly poor lighting. Could well be that someone has munched the amanos tho. Some plants...

Interesting! I thought amanos were the saints of the aquarium world but apparently there are some renegades. I may or may not have both A. reineckii and amanos in my other tank but as I haven’t seen any for about year I don’t know for sure

Yeah I agree. It also annoyingly grows really well. It probably would work better in somewhere middle. My plan was just to try to grow different plants and see if I could keep them alive for any length of time. Now it’s apparent that yes I can so should start thinking more of the aesthetics

Sodding shrimp still appears to be there although I never see any. To my surprise I spotted three little shrimplets! My angelfish spawned in my other tank and I managed to keep couple fry alive so the tank has been dedicated to a nursery. The guppies are not breeding and another came down with...

Little update after adding fair bit of plants.

Sodding shrimp. I on purpose picked brightest red type, “Bloody Mary”, I could find and still it’s seriously difficult to spot them. Now I’m pondering if I should get more to tackle algae. In theory there’s six but I’ve only ever managed to see four at the same time. The catch is that where I...

Thanks! She had very strong visions how things need to look from angles of the bog wood to colour theme of the fish and inverts (I want them all orangey red) and insisted that the cave thingy should be covered in vegetation. I’m hoping the moss will cover glue blotches quickly and anubias with...

My general plan is to test out different type of plants in high tech setting and after few months, when I need to move the tank after some redecoration in the house, to do actual aquascape. Hopefully more mature set up will be more forgiving to scape and I have some idea what type of plants to use

I’m kind of hoping I’ll be able to flog them to local fish shop as they are some specific colour type. There’s certain inevitability about population boom tho. Might have to add some tetras to weed out some of the offspring, none have turned up so far.

My 6yr old has been badgering me to get her “her own aquarium” for ages and when I saw secondhand bargain Fluval Roma 125 with fresh and plant led lights, JBL CristalProfi greenline e901 filter and CO2 system with solanoid and inline diffuser I thought I guppies were a good idea to introduce her...
