in my personal opinion, keep some in your 40 and keep more in your 125...LOL..does that help?

 

[mfdrookie516]

Haha... I think im going to do some smaller ones in this tank. They are looking really nice today. I'll take some pics later. They've colored up tremendously.

 

[daileene]

nice....i cannot wait for the new pics. do rainbows grow bigger?

 

[mfdrookie516]

Here are some better pics. Not great, but better

 

[AggieMel]

Absolutely gorgeous. I see so much potential in this tank! Thanks for all the tips, and keep up the good work. I'm sure you have some very happy fish and plants

I started dosing ferts today. Going to try and see how PMDD does... if things don't improve we'll go the EI route.

So whats the stocking on here?
I know the kerris and the rainbows but any cories?

 

[mfdrookie516]

Here's the list.

11x Kerri Tetra
5x rainbows (temporarily until I move them to the 125)
4x brochis cory
2x guppy 1m1f
??x RCS
2094875x MTS
A bunch of pond and ramshorn snails

Your tank looks awesome. I love the scape and your fish are amazing, I love the Kerri's colors.
Is that the lighting fixture from fishneedit?

 

[mfdrookie516]

Yeah, that's the tank from the pics in your light thread. Its the 2x39w.

Awesome and thats a lot of MTS, i noticed i got two hitch hiker ones but they havent even bred yet

 

[mfdrookie516]

Well, that's just a rough guess Jason. There may be a few more, a few less lol. I got up last night about 3am and took a red light to the tank. They were everywhere. But, I only see a couple during the day.

Love it man, it just keeps getting better and better. I had a feeling you would enjoy planted tanks eventually! LOL.

Now, when you get your first BBA outbreak, let's see how much you still enjoy it. J/K.

 

[mfdrookie516]

You must have missed it... BBA is everywhere!!! Oh... and thanks for the compliments

 

[severum mama]

NO... you have no idea about BBA outbreaks I'd wager to say.

ROFL

 

[mfdrookie516]

That's not bad???

 

[daileene]

oh my....i have a little case of BBA in my 1st 10G...but not that much...LOL...hope yours will be all gone pretty soon jon..

 

[mfdrookie516]

It has cleared up some since those pics... thanks to a little dose of h2o2... I'm hoping these ferts will get it all straightened out
