Hi from Nor Cal

Post by DanD »

Hi everyone,

I am a relatively novice aquarist. I have one other community tank with some tetras, danios and a featherfin catfish.

I recently discovered these beautiful fish while web surfing.

After reading just about every piece of info on this site over the past week as well as many others I've decided I would really love to try and breed these amazing creatures. I setup a new aquarium and have began the cycle. Hopefully a few months from now I will be able to get ahold of 2 or 3 of these fish and watch their magic.

In the meantime I will be doing everything I can do make a great future home.

Here is a pic of the new tank I have setup:

I don't have any breeding caves yet. I may get a little more driftwood also.

I also wanted to thank you all for the wealth of knowledge you have created.

I look forward to learning more and the experiences that await.

-Dan

welcome

Tank looks good but you might want to switch to a finer sandy bottom

Welcome DanD

Nice looking spacious setup you have there. Keep reading and trying to acquire as much information and knowledge as possible. Rich1988 has a point on the substrate but it really comes down to a personal choice in the end. It will just mean a more rigid cleaning process to try to capture the uneaten food / general waste that gets trapped between the gravel. As long as you keep your water quality in pristine condition all the rest will fall into place. Best of luck :)
