Amazon tank

[Ben]

I just set up this tank. I am happy with the way it looks and thought i would share with everyone!:D

The only fish in this tank is 50 cardinal tetra's and 20 Corydoras Sterbai's.

I have some room for more fish, any idea's?

Hey Ben

Nice tank!

IMO - I love groups of 12 rummynose, gold tetras, harlequin rasboras.

When they group and play together - just a pleasure to watch.

DEL :P

What size tank is it?

IMO you need a few BN. A amazon tank wouldnt be the same without them.

Perhaps a few black widows? Along with some rummynose?

I think you need a couple of these Hydrolicus scomberoides ;)

How bout some OH or Dicro Geo's or maybe some F1 Angels :P *bolts*

i think you should just keep it to 1 species of tetras, if you want add more cardinals.

i recon some nice apistos would go great in there along with 2 or 3 clown plecs and some peppermint bn.

if that was my tank i would also put some hatchet fish in there.

i would like to see a bit more vegetation :D

I love the DW in the amazon tank Ben but I think sand would've been better as substrate.
And I thought Anubias was African???

Good suggestion Chris! Might be a bit hard to really meet their dietary requirements tho. :lol:

the bulk of their diet is comprised of piranhas

Ben that Jebo looks stunning with those Cardinals in it.

So you're now going to try a marine tank. :lol:

I'll have to come over and see it ASAP as you know I've been thinking about doing one of those.

Ben, the tanks look great!

I tend to agree with Rob on this one Benny, the pebble mix doesn't do it for me :P Great if your redoing the driveway, but I think 16/30 white sand would look alot cooler :D

Cheers,

Dee :D

ben with the marine setup mate the live rock needs to be setup openly so the water can flow through it
otherwise eventually you will get a build up or a dead spot on the rock wich will copunter act any good the live rock is doing for you
