So tank seems to be running smooth so far i do have a little bit of Diatoms i think but i should just let them be? Otos will eat them once i get them in there i think. The HC carpet has almost filled in, i'm thinking i might add a small bit of java moss on the main rock but I don't know.

Picture Tiem!

FTS








Pearling HC



The lone RCS that found it's way into the tank

Hey thanks! So far all I've been dozing has been brighty k, on Friday though ill change that to brighty k and green brightly step 1. I'm following the nature aquarium set up guide by Ada, so I'm currently also doing a lot of major water changes, but that will change on Friday as well.

quick stoking question, would 9-11 rasboras, 2 amanos, and 1 nerite overload tha tank? currently in it are some ramshorns, a lone RCS, and an amano female. I'll have a fuller update tomorrow hopefully.

Very nice. I vote no on the Java moss

I'll second that vote, those rocks are nice and they will be completly covered in moss if you go that route, it might start slow but once it starts it will grow like a weed.

So I got a pair of German Blue Rams for the tank instead of anything else. They seem to be doing fine so far. At least the one (Male? donno) is looking really healthy, he/she is chasing the other he/she and that one is stressed out fins all messed up I think it might die soon i hope not but i don't know.

Thats a pretty small tank for that pair, it's should be at least 15 gallons. But it looks great!

[10galfornow]

they seem to be getting along fine

[10galfornow]

any luck on identification anyone?

[shrimpnmoss]

Christ that is one huge Nerite!

[10galfornow]

may this tank rest in peace.
