Hope it is up to snuff. No CO2, took it out 3 weeks ago now.
NO3 7.5ppm, PO4 .5ppm, K2SO4 10ppm 3x weekly
CSM+B to .2ppm iron on other days 3x a week
MgSO4 and Calcium citrate once a week
50% water change weekly
Plants include Cryptocoryne Red Wendtii, Pearlweed, Ludwigia repens (Primrose), Anubias Barterii v. Nana, Christmas moss, Limnophila aromatica (I think), tall green one in middle back
Fish include 2 BN pleco, male and female; 18 neon tetra, 1 albino glowlight tetra, 2 swordtails.
Looks good! All it needs is a blue or black background to hide the equipment. And I'd take out the colored gravel...
Otherwise, nice tank! Cute plecs :nicefish:
Black and blue tend to be the most popular colors. Green would be interesting, but the plants might blend in a bit. I wouldn't paint it on, because if you ever got tired of it you can't take it off. (Not very easily anyway.)
Oh another suggestion -- you can buy a straight hard airline tube from your LFS that will sit right where you want it to, without the distraction of tubing all over the tank. :wink2:
I have officially been proven wrong. I've always thought that neons were completely overrated and I've never really liked them. That's great though, I knew that had to school to look really good, but wow! Now you have me thinking... :evil:
Here is Bud, he is the ruler of the tank. Had to take out some Julii cories because he wouldn't let them come out of the plants. The female is a lot harder to get a good pic of but she is the other picture on the Anubias.
I have had him for well over 8 months and never realized he has blue eyes until this picture. Was supposed to have his equal, in size anyway but she died at the LFS. :BIGweepy: His hopefully mate is only 3.25 inches long and although she flirts I don't know if she is sexually mature yet because they haven't even tired. Bud is only 5.25 inches long :shock:
Oh and lesson learned, don't put two females in the same tank unless you are barbaric because if I would have left them together they likely would have fought to the death.

The barbarians?:blueshake: I hate being quite barbaric.:blueshake:
By the way, your BN looks gorgeous.
dprUsh83: :bluelaugh: :tongue: Want some neons? Change your oscars with them.:thumbsup: :brow: I'm going to stick with rummies for my heavily-planted tank plan.:crazy: Maybe quite sensitive but I still like their tight-shoaling activity. Even if I lost 13 last July, I will try to keep a new batch again. I'm trying to get my feet back again. I miss keeping rummies.:blueworry: They were such stunning fish which I unfortunately, lost after the temperature keep soaring.:blueworry:
Now let's not be crazy here...I have been proven wrong in that they're extremely cool, to my surprise. I can say without a doubt that they're not nearly as cool as oscars! :lol:

How dare you comment such a thing to the neons!:blink: Oscars are not nearly as cool as to what you are thinking.:wink2: They're just monsters.:tongue: And I don't like keeping monsters other than my cute green arowana. :tease:

HMPH!
My O is certainly NOT a monster. More like a wet Labrador Retriever with a food addiction... :tease: :blueyay: :BIGgrin: :greenyay:
BTW, Rummynose Tetras ARE AWESOME. Neons, kinda tired of them since they are EVERYWHERE here...
