Weekend update, SLOW growing.

Hi all,

Fissidens Bryoides

Looks like you have <"Plagiomnium affine"> as well. I'm not sure either moss likes it too wet.

I can see why you decided to settle on embers finally - their colouration is really vibrant & you've captured them really well - really top class photography!

 

[CooKieS]

Hi,

Rare fish addition; parotocinclus sp. 'peru' , hope it survives! 🙂

 

[dw1305]

Hi all,

parotocinclus sp. 'peru'

Now that is a <"very unusual fish">.
I think it maybe the fish sold as <"Parotocinclus sp. 3">.

Have a look at these threads on PlanetCatfish <"Parotocinclus sp. (3)">, <Parotocinclus sp. Nanay Eanea> & <"Feeding Nannoptoma sp. Peru">.

cheers Darrel

You're the man, thank you!

Hi, small video update, feeding frenzy! 🙂

 

[Greenfinger2]

Hi CooKieS, Stunning Scape love the fish too

 

[BBogdan]

I love this one , it looks so wild !
Good job so far . 🙂

 

[CooKieS]

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

However I'll need your help, my staurogyne repens aren't growing, why? CO2 is ok, lights 7h/day, dosing Npk daily since 2 weeks and micros 1x week...all the others plants are growing OK...any advice is welcome as I never had this plant before. 🙂

 

[CooKieS]

Hi there, started to dose micros + macros daily, added some light power and co2, we'll see if S.Repens grow better!

Last fish addition before overstocking this 60F, a trio of sparkling gouramis, very smart and interesting fishes. 🙂





Cheers

Staurogyne repens does not need lots of light as per my experience. If it is not melting, it might be adapting to the environment and will grow better soon. I also notice it is slow grown plant, so it takes up nutrients slower than the other plant.

Cheers!

Hi there and merry Xmas!



Lost my rare paratocinclus peru and one sparkling gourami jumped out of the tank.

I'm still struggling with the staurogyne repens...still no growth, tried to increase light and CO2 but hasn't done anything.
Now I'm dosing tropica premium (micros) and K (brighty K) daily...we'll see...

Other plants are OK, roots of the smallest carpet plant, elatine hydropiper, are Impressive:




Cheers!

Hi all,

Sorry to hear that, I think they are exceptionally difficult to keep initialy.

and one sparkling gourami jumped out of the tank.

They are quite feisty, when I had them I had to try and sex them, because the males fought otherwise, with the loser trying to escape, often out of the top of tank.

Again, thanks for the tip dw1305. 😉

Got some clado algae on my microsorum trident rhizome, how to get rid of it?
It's not bad looking and it' s growing slowly so I remove it manually when I do the water change...anyway, any advice is welcome! 🙂

 

[tim]

Looking great CooKies, you can spot dose the clado with diluted liquid carbon during water change along with manual removal this should see it off.

Thanks Tim;
