Two F8s in my BW tank

Post by By_a_coo »

Hi people.

I'm just showing how is my tank and one of my 2 F8s. Here it goes:

The tank.

Sorry for the blurry picture, they are not used to the camera.
Image

They love to play in the branches.

One of them... the less shy, the other one was very scared during the "photo time", hidding under the pump :lol: .
Image

He's getting used to the camera.

That's it... I hope you have enjoyed the pics!

Neat! It looks like the forest out in the back during the fall.

As a matter of fact the branches, wood and leaves don't seem to rot in BW. They've been there since january. I didn't notice any PH/GH changing.

This biotope was based in photos of swamps and creeks from India/Malaysia/Camboja, places where F8 are found. I'm thinking of planting some red cryptocorines and some nymphea lotus to match the brownish enviroment.
