ideas on my river tank - Aquarium Advice

krap101 · 08-17-2005, 04:39 PM

im going to cut come dividers in half and put them on both ends of the tank slanting right. on the left im going to put my powerhead pointed a lil up and right and have the intake on the other side behind the divider. inbetween the dividers is going to be some sand and then under the sand is going to be the [acronym:38ee132b89="Plastic pipe"]pvc[/acronym:38ee132b89] thats going to connect the powerhead to the sponge

im thinking on something like rasboras of some sort, dwarf cories, cories, and some hillstream loaches. oh and im going to try and get a 20-30 gallon for this (thinking about a 20 long)
any ideas?

Tetras might make a good addition. I like the True Rummynose Tetras myself...

They are just real sensitive to water conditions.

Alot of people use them as a water quality indicator, the duller the red head the poorer the water conditions.
