Ok guys, my first zeb tank - revisited!

Pretty much explains itself really. If you have questions about tank set-ups, tank furniture, (caves etc) chuck them in here!

Ok guys, my first zeb tank - revisited!

Post by andrewcoxon »

i posted a pic of my new zeb tank a few weeks ago but since then alot has happened....

iv added some zebras for a start! and made some changes to its set up.

The Tank:

The Tank Details:

Capacity: 110 Litres
PH - 6.5
Nitrite - 0
Ammonia - 0
Nitrate - 8

Houses 5 cardinal tetra, 5 yellow top sword endler adults (2 x male, 3 x female) plus 14 babies! 1 adult male zebra & 2 one year olds.

i have a mature female on her way hopefully so things are looking good!

iv got a bubble curtain in to add oxygen, a eheim external with spray bar also to add oxygen and a fulval 4 internal to provide the current.

also i havent had a chance to check the GH or KH of the water yet as my test kit hasnt arrived yet from ebay!

cheers,

andy

looks good! :D
The only suggestion I might make is there doesn't seem to be much cover for the females where they can over look the males in their caves...as the caves seem to be nearer the front of the tank with all the cover behind them.

As a side note. Obviously people have different results with different set-ups...but I think it's a good idea to have at least one cave you can't see into...I can only see into 1 of mine properly out of the three.
The only one I can see into is the only one which is never really occupied..which could mean, 1. they prefer caves which have some privacy or 2. They're getting jacked off with me sticking my face next to the tank all the time :D
