My set-up
My set-up
Hi there, I was wondering if my set-up is ok so here it is.
It's a Juwel Rekord 120 and there are 5 zebras in it. The filter I use is a TetraTec EX700 with the spraybar attached above the surface to produce oxigen.The temp is 29°C.
I don't know if I have the right amount and/or enough current though. As you can see there is an internal filter (600L/H) placed at the left side to make sure there is a current in front of the holes. I still have the original juwel pump(600 L/H) pointed downwards. This means there isn't a current at the left side of the internal filter, this is where I feed them so the food doesn't get blown away.
If you have any ideas to improve my tank please let me know

That looks nice Is it possible to get a venturi fitted for the internal filter? I've found that high levels of dissolved oxygen is more vital than the current itself, and a venturi would assist greatly.
Have you tried to place the caves at different angels compared to the current? It's a very good idea to have an area with less current where the fish can feed, like you have It's also a good idea to have a heater guard like you have.
I might have put a few more rocks in between the caves to assist in making territories.
Have you had any spawns yet?

Thank you McEve
I'm sorry but don't know what a venturi is I don't know what the level of dissolved oxigen is but I think the spraybar helps a lot.
I will put the caves in different angels, that's a good idea. I'll also put some more space and rocks between the caves.
I haven't got any spawns yet, I didn't have any females untill 2 months or so...and since I got them I've been trying different set-ups. I should leave them alone, I know That's why I posted here so I can put together a good set-up and leave it like that!
