The Tiger Tank (56k)

nice how many wpg u have?

ikuzo · 12-04-2007, 12:04 AM

Urkevitz
then i probably shouldn't add crypt spiralis here since my substrate is too shallow for the root system.

cleekdafish
i use 2x23 watts CF for this tank (about 40 galon), that's 1.15 wpg. most of my anubias is growing new leaves right now. my rubra is doing well, one leaf reached to the water surface 2 days ago. crypt willisii is sprouting new leaves. all of this means that i have enough lights for those plants.

the only problem is that my dwarf sag carpet os in a hold condition. overall i'm pretty happy with the tank.

nice setup. where did you get the rimless tank and stand?

**khoile** · 01-15-2008, 01:29 PM

I like tiger barb, great tank. I too love open top tank.

ikuzo · 01-16-2008, 02:46 AM

custom made tank and stand. it's scary at first to have a rimless tank but it's been running for 2 months now, nothing bad happened.

just find a good and trusted tank maker.

How did I miss this thread til now? I'm new on this forum, but I've been cruising it awhile. I love tiger barbs!! Mine like to nibble on my arm anytime it's in there. The males spar and that's fun to watch.

I've got a shool of 7 so far in an 80 gal with Australlian Rainbows, Otos, rummy nose tetras, zebra danios, yoyo loach, and black skirt tetras.

ikuzo · 01-16-2008, 04:53 AM

well that's weird. mine seems to attack ottos and other peaceful fish. did you put them all together at the same time?

ikuzo · 02-02-2008, 12:17 PM

time for some updates

crypt willisii are going strong

fissidens fontanus, can they grow nicely in a non CO2 tank? any experience?

flame moss can

what is this on my anubias? it's not algae because i can't clean this. is this caused by too much iron like what Diana Walstad mentioned in her book?

**A Hill** · 02-02-2008, 12:36 PM

The moss will have no problems. In the picture of your hand, look at the bottom right or so tiger, he looks hungry! lol.

I also thought of Diana's book upon seeing those pictures. Might want to get some expert advice though.

ikuzo · 02-02-2008, 12:46 PM

the one you mentioned is not the problem. there's one albino tiger that become so skinny. he's not as competitive as the other when eating. i have to treat him specially by scoop him in a cup then feeding him before the others...

loachlady5 · 02-02-2008, 02:35 PM

I can't put my finger on it, but something about this tank has a wondeful simplicity about it. Maybe that it's a one species tank, maybe that it's mostly anubias. I don't know but I really like it
