What do you think of my tank?

[inkie]

I have my new 12G tank now up and running for about a month now! I have all live plants (bacora, waterpest) and these fish:

2 Corydoras Julii
2 Corydoras Punctatus
2 Otocinclus Affinis
7 Pristella
2 Honey Gourami

I think my tank is full now? Or can I add something?

I would say you are full.

 

[fishboy]

I would say yoou are full myself and maybe a bit overstocking


here is a question ummmmmmmmmm........ i didn't want to put this in it's own thread since it is a small Q.
How big do pristella's get exactly ???

                   Thanks,
                       Daniel

I would say don't add anymore to it. Sounds like a nice little tank though. Do you have pictures? Just curious.

Daniel they don't get to big. ;D

what are pristella?

 

[Matt Nace]

They are little tetras.(pristella maxillarius aka x-ray fish)

My bro-in-law has a few of these. gentle, small but a tad boring IMO.

My "x" (and other keys ) do not work too well..cheap keyboards

 

[fishboy]

They are X-ray fish ;D I know the size now :

I have a picture online!

You dont see all the fish, some are hiding in the plants:

Pristella's are very nice i think i like them

 

[geoffgarcia]

your plants look fantastic nice and bright green!
What lighting/substrate/ferts/co2 are you using?

 

[inkie]

I dont use anything special. Just Sera plant substrate, gravel and just normal daylight light which i got standard with my juwel tank!
I dont use any co2 things.

Unfortunately 1 corydoras julii died last week, dont really know the cause but i know since i got him he had damaged mouth, so i think he was not able to eat Anyway i did not spot any other weird behavouir or signs on him.

My male honey gourami is buidling bubblenest all the time But they did not have any babies yet.

That's a really nice tank. Two suggestions though. ;D


1. Fill your tank all the way up to the top with water, don't leave that big space of air. It just looks better.

2. Add a red plant or something to break up the green look. Red plants look so nice.

That's all I have to say. But don't get me wrong it's a great tank. ;D
