I visited the London Aquarium today, to drop 50kg of Dragon Stone and have a chat with the team.
The Piranha tank is almost 9 months old, and amazingly it is still holding. The choice of plants was really good, and it is a low tech.
The crypts are just amazing, I should have carpeted the lot with crypts, lesson for next large one.
The bolbitis are holding on, some new leaves, others wilted.. but holding on.
The real surprise are the anubias, they came back with a vengeance.. some flowering underwater.
The tank now has a large pleco (about 20cm long), and a shoal of ottos. The London Aquarium team will also add some ancistrus, maybe 10.
It was so cool to see some kids saying that it was spectacular.. Made my day. 🙂
I took videos and photos. Thankfully I took two cameras, as with one of them I filmed at 30p, and it is a bit jittery.. The other is normal camcorder, so will upload when I get home.
The 30p is uploading now to youtube, just so you see what is looks like.. forgive the jitters.. 🙂
