10 Gallon Hex Tank update

Here is the update on the 10 Gallon Hex. It also traveled with me to Colorado. The plants have completely taken off and are growing like crazy. I transferred a few cuttings of the Hygro Kompact plants into the tank and they love it. I use Blackwater, Flourish suplement and Flourish Excel in the tanks once every 2 weeks or 4 weeks. Usually when I add water or change 1/3 of the water.


I also picked up a few new buddies for the tank. These little guys are new and kind of rare fish. They move to fast to get a really good picture but they are called Galaxy Rasbora. (Celestial Pearl Danios) They have them of all places ebay. Very cool little fish and you don't see them at most pet stores.


If I can find what are called Lambchop Rasbora's I'd love to add them into the tank. Very rare and just stunning.
Anyway on to the 10 gallon Hex tank pictures.





Hope that helps

Here is a picture of the Lambchop rasbora (Rasbora espei) from thailand.
They are very cool and very rare. A good friend got a few and they look great in his tank.
If I can get them I will but again they are not very available usually.

Hope that helps.

Sorry I don't post on here more. Been busy like everyone. Good friend just picked up a new 7 gallon fluvel tank he says is nice. Sure would like to check it out. Anywho here are a few updated pictures of the tank and the shark. I caught him earlier just laying in the plants, chillin like a villain, so I go and grab the camera, and what does he do?
He moves of course. So here are a few new shots. I'll give an update soon on what plants survived and which ones didn't. So you get the ones that live with just light and some nutes. No CO2 needed. Soon to come.
