The River Update [pics]

The tank has now been running for almost 2 months and everything is starting to look the way it should. The one Sewellia fry I found when moving is doing just great and as Emma predicted it has got some siblings Had to sell the Pitbull plecos because the current was too strong for them, some fry is left because they are impossible to catch. But I'm geting some more Gastromyzon's to fill the gap. Don't know precisely what I'm getting yet because the retailer don't even know, but on Thursday I'll know. Here's some pics of the setup and occupants.

Awesome tank, it looks great! The 10th one down really reminds me of a river bottom. I bet the loaches love it.

That is gorgeous. I am in envy yet again.

Every time I see your tank I like it more.
In my head I always hear that underwater video you took, too.

It's nice to see that your tank has developed that lovely patina on the rockwork. I think it's one of the rather unique features that make River-Tanks attractive in a different way to other styles of aquaria.

The fish all look really happy and I'm jealous over your moss. My tank used to have loads but it all died off.

Great looking tank, how deep is that gravel on the right hand side?
Also exellant fish.

Thanks for the compliments all, really appreciate it.

There's only a thin layer of gravel, maybe 2-3cm. But underneath theres sand and 1½liter Pepsi bottles to fill it up. And with all these the right side is ~15cm thick.

I'm a little surprised that the moss thrives in these conditions. And very grateful that is does, ads some color.

A funny thing is that the Gastromyzon's don't seem to know fear anymore. You can actually stroke them with the finger and they won't move. No wonder I like them the most and they we're the ones who started this assimilation.

Cool stuff, Janne! My hillies won't but at least, they don't mind if my hand is near them.

I dunno, every time I look at this picture I see a crazy red eyed green dog barking at a Gastromyzon.


I guess I better quit hittin the Amquel. Either that or I'm just crazy jelous cause my river tank is not done yet

Nice tank, Nice fish
