| About Yourself: |
i'm a guy from malaysia basically started fish keeping since earlier 2007. how i started this hobby cause i think keeping fishes are quite relaxing when you watch them swim around, and another factor is that i've kept other pets like dogs, chipmunks, hamsters, birds, tortise, rabbits, so basically havent try fishes yet so this tank is my first tank. Been thru alot of trails and errors just to get it to the looks as it now, which is what i always wanted since i'd start this hobby . to have nice green real planted tank :) will move to bigger tank when i have enough money and space .. wish me luck |
| Advice: |
keep trying no matter how many "deaths" there were :P but do keep track on your spending budget |
| Fish Kept: |
erm.. Tetras, ramson snails, Red Crytals Shrimp (C), Red Cherry Shrimps, Otos, there are some more, but dont know the names :P |
| Plants Kept: |
did try out 6-7 types including bottom land plants (dont know what it's name is) sorry i dont really know the names but so far my tank only have moss and the big leaf plant as you can see :) to me is the easiest way to keep a small thank neat and tidy. |

I changed my tank around and put more plants in. I focused more on putting the taller plants in the back and the shorter in the front. I also got rid of those damn prolific kribs. It looks a thousand times better than it did before, especially with the red plants i put in to contrast the green. |

Trimmed out plants and took a quick pick late 2007. |
| About Yourself: |
Small 30g tank at age 12 then left for a bit.....came back with my current tank 5 years ago and started to get into plants and aquascaping heavily. Going for Discus now with a total rebuild late 2008 in my new home...pics when its grown in and more than my one new discus. |
| Advice: |
Go big...as big as you can!
Leave it be more than you mess with it...you'll have more fun with it..and you wont go crazy trying to make it JUST right!!!
I envy Mr. Amano's setups but you have to know what your limits are! |
| Fish Kept: |
roseline rasboras, gold nugget pleco, cardinal tetras, betta,
juli corys, otociniclus, gouramis...various others. |
| Plants Kept: |
zostrafolia(star grass) vallisnaria, tiger lotus, java fern/moss, many bulbs....again various others.
Wish I could find a low growing plant to make a carpet with but selection is limited here in Vermont, importing plants is restricted. |
| Tank Size: |
75 |
| Description: |
75g Roseline rasbora setup from early 2007.
Original flourite substrate, flourish excel carbon addititive with 250w corallife power compact 10k/6k lightbulbs. Rena filstar xp3 with fine filter pads and full bio media loaded.
NO co2 on this tank.
Pictures are of various placements of plants and wood throughout the year. I sold off the extra plants 3 times that year so I reset the design each time. Grow time was extremely fast for all plants. |
