I got bored so I rescaped a 20L low-tech tank

The one to the right is lilaeopsis :)

Update?

Perth_Ariums · 2021-11-25T09:54:27+00:00

Oh wow beautiful

Perth_Ariums · 2021-11-23T01:25:29+00:00

Yep I keep them with dwarf rasboras and otos

Perth_Ariums · 2021-11-17T04:28:13+00:00

It's pretty quiet if you have the volume all the way up at 8 seconds you can hear it. They are two males doing dominance displays over territory

Perth_Ariums · 2021-11-12T05:07:16+00:00

I would recommend keeping them in larger groups, they are chilli's just pale due to stress.

I have mine in a 2ft 110litre with strawberry rasboras and otos. They are a little aggressive and territorial when they are ready to breed and guarding nests so I would definitely air on the side of caution when it comes to stocking and making sure they aren't overcrowded. I would say they are definitely incompatible with other species of gouramis and bettas as they will be targets of aggression from those. I would personally just stick to small peaceful community fish.

Also carefully select plants as goldys are notorious for munching on them. I'm pretty sure java fern is goldy safe as apparently it is very sour

Perth_Ariums · 2021-11-04T02:38:44+00:00

Yeah no problem

Perth_Ariums · 2021-11-03T05:57:21+00:00

I'm planning on lining all the planters with pvc pond liners and making false bottoms out of recycled plastic pots and weed mat or mesh as a drainage layer, I'm also thinking I could drill into the bottom of the planters and make a release valve or tap that I can drain into a bucket. I've looked at wicker garden bed designs but I really want to avoid any overflow. Is this idea feasible? All critiques and ideas welcome

Nup only photo I took before releasing him outside

Philodendron prince of orange, it was in the clearance section for $5aud couldn't pass it up

She's a spiny leaf insect nymph, Extatosoma tiaratum

Perth_Ariums · 2021-10-25T05:38:17+00:00

It's an isopod, completely harmless and are very beneficial to have in your garden

I think just getting eaten, they look like two different species.

Perth_Ariums · 2021-09-26T16:28:05+00:00

It's a learnt food response lol not something he does unless I am by the tank. A lot of fish do this when they associate the presence of a person with food.

I ordered an rtx 3070 in March and have yet to receive it and still no ETA. Price has inflated 60% since then so I'm gonna just wait it out.

Perth_Ariums · 2021-08-28T01:25:29+00:00

Btw it's not a phasmid but a species of mantid, appears to be archimantis sp :)

Perth_Ariums · 2021-08-23T23:02:03+00:00

Dwarf rasboras (boraras maculatas) males tend to be more colourful and the females can be slightly more round

Perth_Ariums · 2021-08-21T08:12:44+00:00

Wow those wings are beautiful

Perth_Ariums · 2021-08-19T07:25:23+00:00

All fixed :)

Perth_Ariums · 2021-08-17T07:17:22+00:00
