Blue-Wolf Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) So, I decided to keep my Bowfront and do a planted tank with it. Then I upgraded and put everything in my 75g.

Wingin' It Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Looks good! The choice of Gourami was nice with those other fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-Wolf Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Looks good! The choice of Gourami was nice with those other fish Thanks. Talked with a few people about it and finally took the plunge. Seems good tho, but I may change my sand out for something that better suits the fish/plants.

Guest Master of Puppets Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Watch out for those yoyo loaches they will grow 6" and might go for your shrimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingin' It Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I find YoYo Loaches to be fun to watch! Even if they do eat the shrimp they're worth it! I have 3 in with my tangs and they are ever so active. They also add a nice color pattern to the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slough Shark Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Nice stock list man! I'd get rid of the fake ornament though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Nice set-up. I love watching Yo-yo loaches. They are always active and swimming around in weird patterns. I want to get some more but I haven't seen any around my area for a couple years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue-Wolf Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Thanks everyone. I'm not too worried about the shrimp, but if they survive, it's all good. As for the fake ornament, I had to throw something in there for a bit of contrast. Going to replace it with another piece of driftwood tho I think.

Blue-Wolf Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 So I transferred everything to my 75g tank and added a few more pieces of driftwood. Changed the gravel, and put on a nice sump system. Pics to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
