About

Just a rasbora and apisto tank with a cave carved into the hardscape. Endlers fill the open water, jade shrimp work the Amazonia. Simple, no bigger point to it.

march update

Hygrophila's filled out a lot, vallisneria finally throwing runners across the substrate. Still a few gaps here and there but happy with where it's at right now.

canister swap

Picked up the UNS Delta 60 to replace what I had, wasn't cheap but flow through the tank is noticeably better now. Wallet's a bit lighter this month for it.

Second scape looking clean, what params you running with that amazonia this deep into it?

Tank owner replied

Not testing much honestly, just keeping an eye on it. Amazonia's still buffering some but nothing crazy, plants and shrimp seem fine with it.

Second scape looks like it settled in nicely, love apistos with rasboras like that, do they ever bother each other or stay pretty peaceful?

Apistos are looking kinda settled in that scape, are they holding up ok with the endlers around

BBao Foster

how's the apisto doing with the endlers in there, any chasing or do they mostly ignore each other?

The apistos look great with the rasboras, good mix
