Hey guys
So, my fish room mainly contains lightly planted tanks under 30 gallons scattered with pots, driftwood, caves, and rocks . I dont put much effort into them because there is very little foot traffic in the fish room so as long as the fish like it I'm happy with it. I wanted a photo tank other than the 120 so I tried to make the 40 gallon in the fish room look nice. The stock is 8 xiphophorus montizumae "tamasopo", 5 limia nigrofaciata, 3 gymnogeophagus rhabdotus "lunarejo", and a pair of apistogramma sp. pebas. The tank is planted with hornwort, a little bit of guppy grass, and a red melon sword. The tank has lots of slate and clay pots as well as 2 pieces of driftwood at either end. The tank is filtered by an aquaclear 50 and a sponge filter rated for 20 gallons and is heated by a 150 watt aqueon heater. The light is a 4 bulb t5. Imo I could use a smaller, less powerful heater but I wasnt using this one anymore so, why not find a use for it. Allot of the elements in this tank where sold or given to me by other CCA and PVAS members, I got one piece of driftwood, the light, and the aquaclear 50 from holly. I got the other piece of driftwood from Matt, I got the gymnogeos from Zach, I got the hornwort and guppy grass from a pvas auction, I got the pebas pair from Miguel. And the rest I got from congressional or an online store.
Here's what it looks like:
Full tank shots:
The female gymnos, dont look nearly as impressive as the big male
And their handsome male:
The little montizumae love to eat
The male pebas apisto posing for the camera
The male l. nigrofaciata constantly harasses the 4 females. Luckely he doesnt hurt them and the females have lots of places to hide if they need to
The Limias recently dropped around 50 small fry. It might be hard to see but the little dudes are swimming around in this 10 gallon
Thanks for looking!
