OK after wks of preperation and stocking i almost have the tank the way i want it. just some minor adjustments to come still... but being the generous guy i am, i thought id post some pics for yas

tank is 3ft 200L

Full tank shot


The blues, left is blue diamond, right is solid blue saphire (imo they both the same color, i think the one on the right is colored up like that coz the left one was picking on it)


one of the brilliant blues


awesome foursome


apisto pair


L333 could smell the food, and the 2 clown loaches squeezed into there little cave


and a couple older pics (these wer taken b4 the fish settled in and established there territories, so took my chance to get some pics)

stocking list:
4 Discus 7-8.5cm (brilliant blues look familiar doug?)
pair apistogramma cacatuoides double red
12 threadfin rainbows
2 clown loaches
8 L333s (2@ 5cm, 6@ 3cm)
12 glass shrimp (thats how many i added, not sure how many now )

Lovely setting! I love those rocks and the last picture. That little face xxx Wicked.

looking good buddy!

did you get the discus from that breeder i mentioned?

dont think there would be many shimp left, not if the double reds had anything to say about it

Beautiful Karl, Love the Threadfins, must be grat to watch them interact.
I especially love that last pic also...Thanks so much for sharing, Loved them..But you knew I would :P

well after moving house all wk im now settled in the new place. fish are all settled (hopefully) and now i can sit back and relax. unfortunately had some disasters during the move. word of warning to others. always make sure you have enough bags so they arent overstocked and do one tank at a time so the bags dont get too cold. theres more factors that resulted in the fishs deaths but those 2 are the most important. im not going into the detail coz im quite disappointed in the whole situation. i didnt lose too many fish but as they say a few is too many. the fish i lost wer 3 of the discus, male apisto cac and the 2 clown loaches. i will say this tho, the discus left is a strong healthy little fella. and the female cac double red is as healthy as ever. guess ill wait a wile before i figure out what to do next.

Very sorry to hear that. It's always bad to lose fish when you've tried your best. Everything teaches us something tho...

nice photos - Lovely L333 too
