Hoddz Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Please advice or critisism welcomed as for i may be missing something here that i cant see let me know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloughlin2 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hoddz, that 4fter is very crowded! And the water looks really dirty aswell.... Are you having problems with the tank? Also the baby frontosa will not do well by himself and in such a small tank and it isnt possible to buy more as you will not be able to fit them in the tank... Besides that looks like you have some quality yellows and salousi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcloughlin2 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Are you looking for advice in regards to making the tanks look good? If so perhaps you should use white sand in the 6ft? Im not a fan of coloured or big chunky gravel so i use light grey-white sand in my tanks...looks very nice! And i would get rid of the platies, livebearers and other tropicals....they wont appreciete the africans aggression and wont like the water needed to keep africans happy...

Hoddz Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 nah the water is good its crystal clear its just the way i took the pictures. The tanks all have juviniles in them at the moment so just waiting for them to grow a bit then be able to sex them then downsize. the Fronny he is going in the big 4 fter by himself and maybe some yellows. I just wanted other peoples advice on the tanks. The platy are the left overs from my wifes tropical setup i cant get rid of them and so they just stay in there till i find somewhere for them. I like my setup but am open to opinions thanks for letting me know your thoughts. Hoddz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
