Just a new member, just downloaded the iPhone app tonight.. But I thought I'd share my tank.
My tank has gone from a Koi rescue tank to a hideous blue gravel mess to a planted sand tank that I'm pretty proud of, and I'm sure it'll keep changing.
My tank is stocked with nearly 90 fish; neons, tetras, and a few exotics. I know I've reached the peak of my bioload and my water quality is always perfect or pretty darn close.. So I'm happy. (and yes it is a year old mature tank)
Tank highlights:
Red lotus plant
2x Discus
4x angels
8in Reedfish
7x bamboo Shrimp
A really dumb black moor
3x Pictus cats
6x SAEs
I'm sure some are worried about the moor and the reedfish eating the shrimp. Both good points, would never recommend the combinations to anyone else.. But my fish have pulled it off for months now... moor was an original member of the tank! I'll always be impressed with how well animals adapt to their environment.
In my latest attempt at doing something I shouldn't do I bought two discus from my LFS. I've taken risks before; but even I'm worried about the Discus... I hope Im just paranoid. Anyway it's the end of Day 2, so we'll wait, pray, and see.
I'll post more pictures as I get the chance.. But I'm using an IPhone, which takes horrible pictures.
