Aint hi speed internet grand- they all loaded in an instant. Nice looking tanks and zebras. I see some scaping on a couple of fish, so I would guess they are sorting out the pecking order and hopefully will be getting jiggy very soon

Nice and fast loading for me too

Fantastic pics and great looking tanks

Jamie24...great pic. i like your set up. Can you give us a little description of each tank: size, filter, fish etc...

[Jamie24]

thanks for your replies, my big tank which houses 10 L046. 8 of which pretty much all adults (4 at over 3 years, 4 at about 2.5/3 years) and two at just about 2 inch. the tank is 36 x 12 x 15 (L x W x D). i have a Eheim 2324 thermo external filter running this tank, with a Eheim aquaball 2210 internal filter and to provide more current an Eheim aquaball 1212 powerhead, a single 300w Tetratec heater is used as well, but as there is one set a little higher in the external filter i have a backup if the internal one fails...

My smaller tank is a Tetra aqua art 60L 22 x 12 x 13 (L x W x H). this is going to house a group of L134's, but at the moment houses another adult male L046, i will be swapping him for some L134...
this tank also has a Eheim 2324 thermo external filter running it with a Eheim aquaball 1212 powerhead and a tetra tec 150w heater...


both tanks are:

28-29c
6.8 pH
>6 GH
6-8 KH
0 N03
0 N02

waterchanges twice a week of 20% large tank and about 50% small tank as trying to get the tannins out of the water from the bogwood in there...


hope this helps, anything else you want to know, just ask!
