Hi Tom, I wanted to know from what tree Mopani comes ? In fact I am asking that because when I saw that picture I have directly noticed that it is the same wood I can find here in Congo. Since I am a kid and playing with tank, every time I asked people to bring me wood for my tank they bring...

Thanks for the information ! I am looking for a small cleaning crew ;). Cheers

I have google it and I knew the yellow Congo, it's a nice one you are right. One in particular is very interesting, the small chiloglanis that swim up side down. I used to have it all my tanks ! I had totally forgot about that fish. By what I have read this could be a good cleaning fish, to...

Do you have pic of some of these fish ?

Yes I will put Congolese fish !! But I don't know which one yet, I am sure that you could help me with this haha :D I was thinking a school of Barbus hulstaerti (butterfly Barb) or a group of Phenacogrammus interuptus. But I am not sure. Do you have a nice schooling fish to advice me ?

Will you comeback to Congo ? When you were here did you visited the chimp sanctuary : Lola ya Bonobo ??

That s great !!! I have also a house for the week end at Maluku !! That's weird to see someone of ukaps that have already been in Kinshasa. You came for professional purposes ? Best regards

Hi Roland, Yes exactly, it is stone from the pool malebo, but the end of the pool malebo, where it close to creat the Kinsuka rapids. How do you know about these stones ?? Regards

Hi I took some close up of the stones for you to have a better idea of texture of the stones. Cheers

I did some minor change. On the left added a small piece of wood, change the stone at the top. But not very satisfied with the top. I have a piece of wood that I have to try ! Didn't have the chance to take pic with a good camera. So sorry for the poor quality and the small reflection in the...

Hi Flygja, Yes that must work lol. You can read in this link where Clive explain why it is working. This is great to know that, because all my plants are growing emerge in my pond. "NEW" PLANT Congo | UK Aquatic Plant Society Regards

Hi Ady I have not done some arrangement yesterday, hope I will have time tonight ! But I think that you are right, maybe a piece of root coming from top left, a like George hill side. Gorge s tank is big part of my inspiration for that scape. So maybe I ll try the wood option plus small...

Hi mate, to hide the ugly part of the stem plants, I will use the crypts that will grow quite enough to hide these parts. Yes it's nice to have all these plants in the pond :D the only down ward is that they are growing in emerge form so I have to induce transition before putting them in the...

Hi Ady, thanks for your input mate !!! I was thinking exactly the same about the top stone, I will try another one that I will place in flat position. If I move it to the rear I think that I will have a dead spot there with flow. I will make adjustment tonight and take shots. Hope my sister can...

This was the rock selection (not all the stones are inside)

Let me put you a pic of how the rocks looks when they are wet. And BTW this is the first realization.

Hi members, So I have received my NA 90 cm since two weeks, and I have been looking for my sand, rocks and wood. The last few days I have been playing with hardscape. After a nice realization, I don't know why I decided to change things, and I end up with something horrible. So I stopped to...

Hi troy do you have a link where you have taken this ? I am in the process of scaping my new tank and since two days I am fighting with rock placement, and I am looking for advices on rock placement. Could you give me advices or link where I can find something ? thanks mate. cheers

They would use as brake pads like they would use any stone or big pieces of wood that they place under a tire to be sure the truck won't escape them when they are parked lol. You are starting to get me worried because I have soft water and don't want my water parameter to be mess up. I have...

Hi DrRob I don't think it's a limestone I will do the scratch and vinegar test when I'll be back. What make you think it's limestone mate ? I start worrying now lol Regards

Hi green view sorry to disappoint you buy the stone you see in the tank is an other type of stone. I am out of town until Friday. What I will do for you is take the stone of the first pic and put it in my tank and take a pic like that we can see how it is when submerge ! ;) Cheers

Here is a pic of the white stone I am talking about unfortunately you can't see it very well but at least you have an idea

Hi mate I don't know at all what stone it is! I am working in road transportation and these are stones that our drivers bring back from their trip. They use it to make "brake blocs" in case there is a brake problems. In one of my current set up I use white stones with grey veins. So you like...

Hi guys just wanted to have a feedback about this type of rock. Do you think the texture of this stone will be nice I can have exactly the same stone with the same texture, but with a greenish color like oxidized copper. Thanks

Just a shot that maybe will inspire some one for a scape. A shot took between Boma and maradi when we were landing at matadi
