75gal Planted Tank Journal *Updated W/PICS 11/16*

That's a pretty neat scape. If it was my tank, I'd personally like to have a pair of Angels or a school of larger(bosemani or praecox) rainbows.

**Torpedobarb** · 10-12-2008, 06:46 AM

I actually have 4 turquoise and 4 bosemani rainbows in there with 4 wild scalare angels.

they do look great!

Black Hills Tj · 10-12-2008, 07:17 AM

I can see your bosemani's, but your angels seem to be eluding me.

Great tank! I love the torpedo barbs..I've never seen them before.

**Complexity** · 10-12-2008, 12:33 PM

Simply beautiful, Ken! I especially love your rocks. Great color and shape. What kind of rocks are they?

I like what you've done with your Sunset Hygro. You've given me ideas. I have some, but have found it a bit unruly with its growth habit. I can see training it to grow more horizontal than vertical. I may try that with mine. I think it would look good mixed with my rocks. I'll let it get taller than you're doing, but still use yours as an inspiration.

I've been wondering when you weren't posting. I figured you must have been busy with helping with the line work after hurricane Ike. I had wondered if you were around where I live, helping to get us all reconnected with power. If so, thank you! If not, I'm sure you were busy helping with the lines somewhere.

I'm glad to see your tank is doing so well! I'm not as crazy about having it rescaped to match the picture you posted since I think your tank is prettier than the one in the picture, but I bet whatever you do, you'll put your touch on it to make it spectacular.

**Torpedobarb** · 10-13-2008, 03:46 AM

Thanks Vicki! the rocks aren't really rocks.. it is petrified wood and really expensive.. for some people!

did you see my thread about my kribs breeding? I have a ton of fry going nuts in there!

as for the scape I am thinking about.. it is actually more like this.. just a general idea..

**Torpedobarb** · 10-13-2008, 03:51 AM

second pic was from the day I got them.. they are much bigger now.. and there are 4 of them.

yes.. they are eluding you!

I have one of each of these guys too!

**Complexity** · 10-13-2008, 04:06 AM

Pleco heaven! You sure have a nice selection of them.

I had to laugh when I saw that one on the petrified wood. What a cruel joke if he was hoping it was wood he could eat!

You have Krib fry? I'm so jealous! I didn't see the thread. Post a link to it. I want to see them!

My 'Kienke' female is always wanting to breed, but no new fry yet. I've been doing too much to the tank for any fry to be successful; plus, there's not enough hiding places for the fry when they do hatch. So they are getting eaten really fast. I expect that to change once the plants grow in and things settle down. I'm actually kind of glad they don't have fry right now as I wasn't looking forward to trying to move them with fry in tow.

I'm still not crazy about your new design idea, but knowing you, you'll make it work. I can't see you being too minimalist.

**Complexity** · 10-13-2008, 04:50 AM

You have more than one now!

Great video. Love the fry! Thanks for the link. I wouldn't have wanted to miss that one!

**Torpedobarb** · 10-13-2008, 04:56 AM

**Complexity** · 10-13-2008, 05:02 AM
