ADA 60P and 60F journal UPDATE 2/4/13

[jamesdson]

Sup planted tankers!
I decided to start my real actual journal of my nature aquariums. I moved to a new location and safely moved all of my aquarium stuff including fish & inverts (they were in the bucket!) So here it is! everything is finally set up and running!

For both of the aquariums, I reused the soil and put in pfertz root tabs to replenish the nutrients in the soil. Beneficial bacteria were still there as well as my filter; I was able to put my fish in after few days.

ADA 60P



Flora:
Glossostigma elatinoides
Utricularia graminifolia
Hydrocotyle triparitita (pennywort)
Staurogyne sp. 'Porto Velho'
Staurogene repens

Fauna:
Cardinal Tetra
Featherfin Rainbowfish
Rasbora Harlequin Tetra
Galaxy Rasbora

Unfortunately, all of my fish died in my ada 60p due to CO2 leakage. The valve malfunctioned. I was sooooo bummed out. =(

In case you didn't find out what kind of fish the mystery fish were, they are brilliant rasbora, Rasbora borapetensis.

ahhhhh thanks!!! i went ahead and read more about them. they seem to be pretty rare, never seen it before. since i only have 2 by accidents, they seem to be doing okay with the green neons.
