Country:

Description:
Its a 6ft sun sun tank that I've just put new lighting in so the lighting works out about .5 watts per litre. The bulbs are a mix (sun glow, power glow and life glow). I'm running a Co2 system and an ehiem 2078 which is great with the stream function.
Advice:
1. Never buy one of any fish! (with a few exceptions)
2. Seperate the plants you buy try cut the end of each stem in different ways plant them in different areas (shaded no not shaded) and just look and see what works the do that with all the stems, works for me.
3. Try to create as many hiding spots and different types of environment as possible, you're fish will love you for it.
4. Read as much as you can and not just from one place.
5. Pre-plan as best you can then adapt as you go along nature has a habit of doing what ever it whats.
6. try and keep the tank as died leaf free as possible.
6. Enjoy!
