I moved my maingano to a larger tank. Hoping to add a few electric yellows for colour contrast once the tank settles. There are also BN living in here

Only set up a few hours ago, so please excuse cloudiness.

4ft ~ Maingano & BN (4-5 electric yellows to be added once tank settles)


The only plant used is Java fern. Substrate is shell grit/sand mix.

Thanks all

~ the water will be clear, very little wood in the tank, and what is in there no longer releases tannins

All my tanks are full of ferns, and all are from 1 original plant *L* They grow feral in my tanks, regardless of PH, temp etc. I tend to pull remove most of the pups off the adult as soon as they have roots. I move them pulled pups into my fry growout tank, and there they stay, floating, until i want some or i send some to others fishkeepers. I think because i overfeed the fry for growth, the goodies released help the pups grow quicker, and in turn the pups help keep the tank stay 'fresher' so to speak.
