New pics and a vid!

Post by CtHM »

How many Kuhlies and Oto's could I have in a 30 Gal. tank with 2 SAPs?

EDIT: So I finally got my gravel switched over to sand, and it looks beautiful! It's starting to be prepared for 2 SAP's, and I think I found somewhere locally I can get them. So I may pick them up next time I have money. I want to make a couple more hiding places and maybe redecorate the open area in the middle. I'm going to maybe get some PVC pipes and cover them in river rocks for hiding since I can't afford and more hiding spots out of a store =/ and I was told terracotta pots arn't the best because they can hold nutrients and ammonia and other chemicals and re-release them later.

Here is a video of my kuhlie loaches. They are absolutely adorable. I have had them about a year now and they are lively as ever. Sorry the vid is dark, I need a new bulb for my tank =/

Tank looks great but with the sand that deep, you're gonna have to move all that nice decor & stir under all of it. I'm sure the puffers will love it though!

I know, and my dad was asking about it and I understood it would mean an extra 10 mins during weekly water changes

Some folks don't mind redecorating every week. That's what I do, as I'm a really anal substrate cleaner, no matter what it is.

The tank looks great, the puffs will love it ;) I would worry about the puffers chomping the Khulies though thinking that they are little worms in the gravel :( Hopefully that won't happen though ;)

Well, if all doesn't go well, I know my DP's get along with kuhlies =]

And yeah, I like to re-decorate often too. :']

That is a beautiful tank you have there! I hope to decorate my tank with a few more plants down the road if I can get the Co2 and pH balanced... and if my Fahaka will allow the plants to stay...

Definitely a beautiful setup, my friend.
