Tropical Amazon freshwater aquarium set-up update 1 month on…..juwel vision 180

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 05:19:51 +0000

An update of my aquarium 1 month on. Unfortunately I haven’t managed to re-home the big fish that are too big for the tank! (they came with the tank when I bought it so don’t have a go) Added some new rocks that took hours to find, just need to check water to see if they affect the water but looking OK so far! Can’t wait to get new plants in when the big fish are gone……;)

10 and 5 Gallon Fish Tanks- Cycling

admin — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 05:18:52 +0000

I’m sorry about the video quality. Movie making is just an extra setting on my digital camera. I don’t know if I can edit the movies so I used my hand to cover up the lens as I walked to the other side of the room to show my 5 gallon. Also there is no sound.

This is a video of my 10 gallon and 5 gallon tanks that are cycling at the moment. I hope to get fish for them soon.

10 Gallon Aquarium by TopFin:
Filter= AquaClear Power Filter 30 (for 10-30 gallon aquariums).
Heater= Marineland Visi-Therm Stealth 50 Watt (for up to 15 gallons).
Decor= Gravel by TopFin, Cave, and Plastic Plants from PetSmart.

Mini-Bow 5 Gallon Aquarium by All-Glass Aquarium:
Filter= Whisper Micro Filter (included)
Decor= Gravel by TopFin and Cave from PetSmart, Plastic Plants from PetCo.

EDIT: I broke these down a long time ago. I have no fish right now and won’t for a while because I am too busy being a college student.

1st attempt at tropical Fish tank

admin — Fri, 08 Oct 2010 13:55:24 +0000

My 1st attempt at setting up a Tropical Fish tank. Please let me have any comments / advise.

In the tank at the moment: 1 bronze catfish, 1 pepper cat fish, 1 pangasius Catfish, 1 pleco, 1 chinese sucker, 6 neon, 6 Red Wagtail Platties, 9 baby guppies(+/-1 month)

Yes, I don’t have a light, and yes the wire for the pump is ugly. I will be getting a light and a backdrop to hide the wire. I am looking for advice on what other fish to get. And if you feel I need to do anything to keep the tank in good working order. The baby guppies have not been attacked by the other fish, which was a great surprise for me, thought they were all going to be eaten, I have only lost 1 baby. The tank is +/- 160 litres. How many fish is too much. At the moment I know I got too little, but don’t want to eventually over crowd.

Any advice is appreciated.
