6 Foot Natives

[Madmerv]

No not Zulu's. The finished tank from my DIY.

So the cycling is finished now and the stock went in. I have planted it out with some spare stem plants, a little bit of MC and a stack of narrow leaf java fern. There is a bit of jungle Val down the flow end of the tank that had reached over 2m long in my inert sub community tank so it should get at least this long and flow from the left to the right. It all melted away when i first put it in but it is coming back now.

First up the Palaemonetes Australis went in and i gave them a few hours to find some nice hiding spots. There was about 15-18 adults and 9 or so shrimpetes so hopefully enough for them to start breeding.

 

Next was the Western Pygmy Perch with 6 adults and about 8-10 juvies going in. The have coloured back to a nice blush in a few hours so the move wasnt to traumatic.
