Loaches Online Forum

That's some hell of a set of tanks Glenny!!

I've only really started the foray into tropicals very recently but a planted aquarium half as good as any of these would make me very proud indeed. There's alot of careful thought and consideration gone into the planning of these I dare say to look so natural which if you think about is very ironic!!

I'm a big fan of the Pleco's too. A planted aquarium really does make it feel alot more real doesn't it. An entire ecosystem in a glass box. Well done.

Thanks Mamba for your kind reaction!

Stones with algae, they're from an other tank, for the stipho's in the rekord 60 tank, before eating...:





The Stiphodon semoni was the first one who game for his dinner:















after the dinner:

Awesome tank and photos! I love the Stiphodons.

Amazing fish selection. I am very jealous! How do the frogs survive in there? Son't they need a place to sit outside the water?

If they are African Dwarf Frogs, they are fully aquatic. There are also African Clawed frogs, but you have to be careful with them as they grow large and love fish.

I love the frogs. Need to keep the water clean, make sure no one is able to eat the frogs, and that the frogs get enough to eat. Sometimes they do not not compete well.

Thanks for the kind reactions! Danelle the frogs don't need a place to survive at the surface, they're funny and easy too keep.

At last, i found/bought some 'Rosy loach'...and yes i'm very glad with these beautiful little loaches:

The rio 240 tank after an intensive clean up:

To be noted: Beautiful planted tanks=no clown loaches xD I can't keep my plants for longer than a few months! They ate the flowers off of a wonderful gamble of a bulb(wouldn't know what it was until it GREW!)! It started off strong with five shoots and they ate all the flowers and left me with just one scraggly leaf. They eat everything! Not even lettuce or cucumber protects the plants!


/SOB!

Edit:: Even your dwarf frogs? They don't dig up your plants? I've got two in a 29 and they kick up everything.
