Re: Dutch - My most challenging aquascape can i have a fiver if i can name the fish :lol: looks awesome mate, be proud of that!

thats a great tank for plecs. planety of objects to rasp off and dark corners in the wood to hide in. maybe add some more anubias?

i would say either limnophila aromatica or the stuff i have in my tank at the moment which is pogostemon stellatus. (my no1 guess)

and do a plant plan!! so we know exactly whats where. im gathering inspiration for my next tank so im looking at what plants work well!

i have to add that i actually dislike 'clean' tanks, whilst showing the skills of the scaper, i prefer to have a little bit of alge there, not only to make it look a little bit more natural but to allow the fish something to graze on. But to be fair, if there isnt anything in these tanks as they...

there seems to be an absense of riparium shops in the UK, im after a basket or something so i can grow some plants (probably a sword) out of the water. (whether it will survive? - i think i will have to spray mist it???) where can i get some suplies?

i take it you have to 'spary mist' the plants to keep them moist?

can we have a plant list and some specs on the tank and equipment please! we all are curious and it would be good to know what you have used. :D

Re: Rio 125 will look sweet when it grows in, what gravel did you use, it looks really nice. :D

would boiling the water help? i have a metal bucket and could boil it up for a bit with some water from a kettle. but thatnks for your response, i think i might go out collecting later.... :thumbup:

what wood is suitable to be collected? any particular trees? im in the countryside and if i knew what to look for it wood (see what i did there :lol: ) be excellent, a doddle really. :thumbup:

what is the specs of the new tank? inc liters? looks really nice, its rare to see amazon swords used well but you seem to have cracked it. how many discus have you got? with regard to the tiger lotus, it will provide more sheltered spots for the fish but as a result it will block out some...

yeah, well you could have whipped up a translator if you were struggling even though they are inaccurate.

Il mio italiano è cattivo!!! :lol: , ma il suo acquario stupisce. :D

what are you going to do with all those plants? re use, or chuck, or sell for a donation or what? really sorry for you mate, there is no icon for a kick in the teeth.

but surely it is a waste as you can have no inhabitants, and only tiny plants, not to mention lighting will cost a bit to run as it will be overkill. unless you use natural lighting (windowsil)

what is the stem in the back left?

isnt blxya quite costly? i have some WCMM in a small 38L tank that i am trying to get to breed but having no luck. i am feeding them on a frozen daphnia and bloodworm diet but no luck.

there must be a reason for this then!! more/less lighting at that end? stronger or weaker flow (id imagine slighly weaker as they like the calmer areas) that is a great tank, just wish i had room for a beast like that!

Re: Six years of 'scaping the best imo is 'mother microsorium' how on earth did you get a massive java fern like that! many many great scapes there though.

ahh, that might be worth a try, whats the difference in just having it go straight into the tank and having it go into the filter? will it not work with just 1 inlet?

how do you get the co2 into the filter?

i think you need something in the very back left, somethink like alternanthera reineckii lilacina. a plant that is more pink than green. or put the cabomba on the far left and the pink plant just inside it.

looks like a type of cambomba to me.

your english is better than most english people!!! :lol: the scape looks good, what size is the tank? it was a typo!

the shark (if it is a shark, albino?) will eat the neons for sure. if its a RTBS then they get more aggressive as they get bigger and will definately eat the neons.
