Looking great mate, the fish look very happy and its only gonna get better!
I was thinking thet would be huge rainbows like in Sanj's display tanks, those Gertrude's are lovely and perfect for a set up like yours.
Cheerio
Ady.
Me too originally ha ha. I was expecting to have to rehome them but now I know what species they are im really happy keeping them.
Tanks looking awesome buddy.. Think i might need a trip up too see in the flesh
Cheers bud. Definitely come up mate your welcome anytime if you can remortgage to fuel your rocket
😉
Looks superb mate considering not even a month old, licorice gouramis are stunning fish seriously considering trading in my high tech setup. Awesome
Thanks tim. Glad you think so. Its amazed me considering its only 3 and a half weeks old. Fully cycled and growing in well. The licorice gouramis are beautiful fish just need the right parameters and only take live food although I watched one suck down a whole frozen bloodworm but took it about ten minutes. Such an elegant fish and when they display to one another it looks fantastic. Hard to pick out of the choccos and licorice which I favour more.
love it love it. shesshhh cubes are difficult to scape well done. love those fish also
Thanks ryno. It was a little challenge to scape especially being viewable from 3 sides but hopefully when my table has gone next week I can show the tank all the way around.
Just turned my co2 up now Ive seen your pinna growth 🙂
Few months from now it will be something else!
Like a lot.
is my pinna growing well then mate I have never tried it before.
Oo that reminds me I need to send you something.
Thanks Alastair. Your tank is looking ace, absolutely lovely.
I am still fiddling with mine and can't decide how much surface movement is enough. It's been very hot here and tank temps reached 28C, so I am afraid to experiment too much at the moment but I have way more than that. Watching out for algae like a hawk 🙂
Thank you
🙂. Having so many positive comments early on gives me more determination to make sure it stays good.
I wasnt sure how much surface movement to have but thought a gentle break but no splashing would suffice. The crs and cherries seem far more active and plants look great too.
Your tanks 28?? Where do you live. ..
Love it mate, top set up. That wood would look great with some emmersed moss on it!
Thanks mate. I really like how its going. Although not sure if im right in the head as im already planning what to do with a bigger one next year after this has grown in........
😕 bigger and deeper.
And absolutely. Can't wait to get some weeping moss on the wood
😉
The emersed growth looks lush!
Thanks ali. Hopefully another few weeks and it will look totally different.
I've had a maidenhair fern sat above the fireplace for about a year that I've been meaning to plant on my filter sponge, might actually have to get off my blahblahblahblah and do it, seeing as yours looks so good.
Ha ha definitely mate do it. It will look fantastic in your tank. Look forward to seeing that if you do. I got the idea when I saw sanj's tank in pfk. Its took a hold of the wood really well. Could do with being a little greener though.
Sad news though I came home tonight and couldnt find my pregnant chocco. I thought she was in hiding but spotted her on the carpet under the dining table very dry. Felt awful.
I think I need some bigger floaters
