New tank & new tankmates for "my babies"

Post by FishyLady » Tue Aug 11, 2009 12:58 pm

Hi everyone,
My clown loaches have now moved into a 4' 50gal tank which they are also sharing with 8 x Congo tetras and 6 x Brochis splendens, here are 2 videos I took, one to show the tank and the other to show the water movement, filtration is an external Eheim and 2 x Fluval internal filters. Any suggestions/comments are very welcome.

Whatever creature is talking in the background sure got my cat's and dog's attention. :)

The tank is beautiful. Where are your Emeralds hiding? The Congos are really beautiful and it looks like your clowns are happy and playful.

Your tank looks great.

My dog slept right through the creature (bird?) noises.

Looks great Val! Babies look happy, tank looks nice too. It looks like those internal filters are making a pretty good amount of current in there as well.

Is this the tank where your grumpy severum was living??

Yes, this was his tank although the plants and caves are new, he is actually doing better in the 3' bow front where the clowns were, he is eating more!!
The internal filters are Fluval 4 plus, I preferred these to the powerhead which seemed to make a lot of bubbles but no real 'current'.
