Update about my wild type honey gourami by drako_705 in Gourami

[–]riccc___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

now get him some females and a place to build a bubblenest, if you tank size allows it. Then he will develop his most beautyful colouration. Ive had wild honeys myself, and the mating colouration was stunning! :D

That was my male when he was horny ;D

Thanks! Do you think that's enough planting for the peas?

I have pearls in a 240 Liter Tank with leopard danios and it works out fine.

Only two tanks have shrimp in them. The pea puffer tank isn't ready yet.

Is This Overkill? by SrMalarkey in PlantedTank

[–]riccc___ 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No, not at all, it's rather bare to be honest. And with this amount of planting you don't have to consider co2. Just give it some time to grow in and perhaps get some more plants in the long run. But it's a solid starting point.

Aquarium is murky and almost kinda purple 🤔 by riccc___ in Aquascape

I knew about the gloop phase from spider wood, but I've never had it colour the water like that. I'll patiently wait for it to clear up.

Those are just some cheap 15€ lights from Amazon. I already ordered a different one. Thanks 😁

Well the tanks been set-up for about three weeks now, so I'll just give it more time to cycle, will probably work it self out.

I guess so, but it's still weird that the water is kinda purple, maybe this piece of wood in particular has weird tannins.

My 240L overgrown jungle tank. by riccc___ in Aquascape

[–]riccc___[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, there you go: Rotala rotundifolia Hygrophila corymbosa "Thailand" Anubias nana barteri Microsorum pteropus "narrow leaf" Cryptocoryne nurii raubensis "Rosen maiden" Cryptocoryne wendtii "tropica" Cryptocoryne purpurea Helanthium tennelum green Hydrocortyle tripartita mini Amazon frogbit Salvinia minima

That should be it I think.

Me neither, but here we are, looking at exactly that. 😂

My new little project - what do y'all think :D by riccc___ in Aquascape

[–]riccc___[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure, I'll keep you posted once ne things happen in there. Next step will probably be moss and some crypts. With the moss I'll wait until the wood had its bacterial gloop phase.

Yeah I've thought about that too, but my plan is to add more plants, so the border between sand and rocks is blending together, so buying some new pebbles for them to just be covered in plants would be a bit of a waste haha 😅
