Roquen Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) This is all I could come up with, with what I had available to me. Any suggestions on a catfish for my algae eating requirements - its a 320 tank - so not too small and not too big! :-) Edited January 28, 2006 by Roquen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hey, I really like that! I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to catfish. Otocinclus (sp?) are peaceful and do a decent job in my tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 That looks AWESOME! I love green plants with black/white And that planter is just perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) One common bristlenose should be able to clean the tank well. :) Edited January 28, 2006 by Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Oh der! didn't see you asked about catfishies I'd go a pair/trio of otos or if you are after bottom feeders, maybe kuhlies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roquen Posted January 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Thanks for the feedback everyone! I sat there staring at the bloody tank for hours and after all that its kinda simple, but Im happy with it! The plants are java fern in various stages of growth - all originally calla's java fern I might add :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figure_8 Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 That looks fab! lovely colour combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieOrCory Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) Looks great Just a side note though; java fern does not like it so well if their roots are burried in the gravel. Hope you won't have difficulty. But if the plants start to do not as well that would be why. Sometimes just leaving some of the roots out the gravel is all that is needed.

Callatya Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Around here? Probably AquaMart at Prospect? I haven't been there yet, but their main store at Parra often has them. I'll keep an eye out :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roquen Posted January 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 thanks ab! re the java fern, have always done it like that with no probs so far, will see how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 as long as the whole rhizome isn't buried the Java Fern should be fine. It doesn't actually have "roots", the things that look like roots are really just for catching onto surfaces (eg logs, rocks) and growing there. Kind of like a staghorn!
