Can't believe I've only just found this journal, I love it. Really like the way the carpet blends into the thick background so well like a wildlife garden.

Thanks Tim, this 600 is ready for a rescape now though…..

bba is unfortunately hanging on and I feel now the time is right to do a rescape

Thanks, I have loved this little scape, probably my favourite ever due to loving the plants, but also more significantly I love the way the fish interact with the scape.

Being able to capture images that offer such a sense of satisfaction has been great I have also entered this scape into iaplc this year to represent the uk…..even with bba on the wood 😬

a few recent images…..

I decided one day on impulse to image the tank for iaplc as I had the glassware and pipes off for cleaning. I wish I had cleaned the bba from the wood but it was an impulse shoot to bank some photos and I never found time to take another image with the wood cleaned.

a little ss grade cbs shrimp resting under the ranunculus umbrella…..

some nice pearling on the tiger lotus…..

maintenence shot.

A difficult to image fish, but I managed some reasonable phone shots one evening of the males displaying during breeding. Spotted blue eyed rainbowfish, one of the most interesting fish I’ve ever owned due to their constant movement in all levels, sparring and their interaction with the plants….

And finally, here is me, captured by my Mrs. taking a moment to enjoy the open top aesthetic.

this has been such a cool little tank, but I will be rescaping it in the coming weeks.
Cheerio,
Ady.

Beautiful images @Ady34 - and lovely looking fish. Have the Rainbows bred yet? Also, have you had any jump - I've always shied away from them for that reason?

No extra fish so not successfully.
I did lose a few to jumping unfortunately in the early days, however once a heirarchy formed I haven’t lost any more in over 6 months. I believe it was due to excessive sparring and chasing.
I would recommend a covered tank ideally especially for larger groups.
