Some beautiful looking fish. Particularly like fish in pics 2+3

Thanks, luckily i found an LFS which specializes in imports, so i can get rarer species.

Looking great Ed. I hope the blackout helped push the tank over into the balanced side of the equation.

Farlowella (sorry for the dirty glass)

 

[Edvet]

Nice and busy, just like i like it.
Need to remove last BBA ( i've seen the trimaculatus picking at it, as i hoped) and then let things grow a bit more.

Looks great! Although I was really enjoying it without the wood but I guess you can't please everyone else with your slice of nature. It is after all "your" slice

Still have hopes to make it more natural to look at, lesser plantspecies, a bit quieter.

They (Hypoptoma gulare) look like giant otos, I want some. Shame I couldn't afford the water bill on that beast of a tank.

The fish realy like the wood, they're hiding and darting under and through it.

I like the wood and it looks great with more fish. They have lots and lots of swimming space!

Handheld and obligatory cooking sounds

 

[Lindy]

I love that wood. It looks a bit like an alien structure

 

[LondonDragon]

Awesome, tank is looking great once the plants fill in a little more it will look even better

 

[Bufo Bill]

Blown away by this Ed, it's superb. Visually not keen on the wood but if the fish like it as you say then I would keep it in.

Gonna add Lilaeopsis brasiliensis tomorrow to see how that will work. The staurogyne takes to much maintenance to stay good looking.
Still want one or two big echinodori-i(/-us). And i want to try an Hydrocleis, hard to get one.
I don't see any new BBA, even see it getting less on some of the spots i hadn't removed it yet, so i guess something is eating it. Can't see any BGA either.
I reduced lights by pulling them up, and steadied the CO2, i have about 2 bps on 24/7 (through a large diy diffusor) and the large CO2 tank kicks in 3 hours before lights on(goes through an eheim, then through the sump-pump) (uncountable bps ,10--15 or so)
This produces app 1 point pH drop (compared to when there is no CO2), in reality at dark the pH goes "up" to app 6.4, and down to 6.0 at lights on. there is a lot of surface agitation and still a sump, never any signs of gassing the fish.

Feeding frenzy!

Did I see blood in the water there near the end? How're your fingers doing?

 

[Greenfinger2]

Hi Edvet, Stunning

 

[Edvet]

Lileaopsis in place:

Did you get hurt there in that video or was it beef heart ?
