Title: My Vision
Post by: TraceyH on May 28, 2013, 12:16:29 PM

Hi Everyone

Here are a couple of pics of my work in progress. It doesn't look as stunning as those already posted but I am working on it  ;)
I have gone down the route of low tech planted tank. Hopefully the plants will grow this time as previously I couldn't even keep Java Fern alive!

I currently have

1 Dwarf Neon Rainbow - old man of the tank
13 Microdevario Kubotai ( Green neon rasbora )
5 Amano Shrimps
6 Red Cherry Shrimps

I going to be adding in the future - 12 pseudomugil gertrudae (Spotted Blue-eye) and 6 corys - undecided yet.

Hi Tracey,

Your tank is looking really pretty, the plants look lovely and healthy. :)

You mention that you may get some cories.....I love cories ;D  I think everyone needs panda cories especially!  Have a look at them on the CC.  You really need to make sure your tank is well settled and is showing low nitrates for them though.  (I know this, because Colin told me).  It seemed like forever that I had to wait to get mine, but they're happily bumbling about my tank now.....hope I haven't jinxed things ???

Good luck with it all.....

Thanks Resa

The corys will be the last to go in the tank to make sure I have it perfect for them  :)
Pandas are really cute and definitely high on the list.

Fingers crossed the plants will stay healthy as I not really green fingered in or out of water  ;)

Hiya Tracey

That's a good lookin' tank you have there. I, too, kill plants on a regular basis but I've found cryptocorynes to be pretty bullet-proof once they're settled in.

I think pseudomugil's are lovely - I'm looking forward to the piccies.

They are pretty but now all I have to do is find them. Hopefully my lfs will be getting some in . . .at some point.
Patience is the key on so many levels with this hobby  ;)
