Guppygirl Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) A little about the tank so far: used 29 gallons Black stand natural rounded pebble substrate running a aqua-tech 200 canister filter 150 watt heater I assume came with the used tank unsure as to the wattage of the light as I haven't been using it lately as it has a huge chunk out of the inside canopy-- letting water too close to the electrical wiring-will need to fix it with something. Plants so far are Java Moss(best baby nursery around) Java fern 1 mystery plant (pic to come soon) Plants coming are: Pennywort anubias nana narrow leaf java fern Philippine java fern and some more java fern I am going for a lower light planted so thus the Java's, thou the pennywort does better with light-hopefully with it closer to the light it will do okay. Had some in another tank but the ramshorn and pond snails totally destroyed it. Only one stick-and I mean stick was left after the snails. To my total surprise it shot out new leaves on all of its joints when left alone in a snail free tank. Fish in the tank are 2 corydora weitzmani -I know they would like more of their kind but I haven't seen any around-got these two at the Edmonton Auction in October. yellow guppies a mix of blues, snakeskin, and multi colored guppies males and females. One female already had fry. Would like to get maybe a pair or rams later on-tank is still cycling with stability. Will add pics of the tank and fish when I locate my camera. Just hate it when you want it can can't find it, don't want it there it is--Murphy's Law Edited May 5, 2009 by Guppygirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayen Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Looks like a crypt of some sort, possible C. Wendtii since the new leaves i'm getting on them are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppygirl Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Been a while since I updated my tank specs-Quitting ones job and starting a cleaning company sure take up a lot of time. So now I have the following updates: Many, many guppy fry-seem to multiple everyday. 5+ corydora weitzmani fry growing-so glad that my brother and I only took a one day in and out of Edmonton trip total of around 9 hours in the car and only 4 hours in Edmonton. Got home just in time to save the eggs-didn't really think I had a breeding pair of corydoras. They hatched nicely and now are being fed microworms and Hikari First Bites. I have 4 corydora Juli? Had 6 but two have since died-one this evening so sad thought it was going to make it. So sad :cry: Added malaysian trumpet snails as the gravel is quite deep and was trapping gas. As for plants I have added- the narrow leaf, philipine and normal java fern, lots of pennywort, and pygmy chain sword. Will try to post a pic tomorrow of the improvements. :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
