I want to have (again) a big "green wall" on the back and sides... it's gonna take a little time... last time, 8 years of plants growing were ruined in 4 days...

My population will be organized around the Mastacembelus erythrotaenia with a few digressions :

1st a school of 12 Balantiocheilus melanopterus which will reach a good one foot long

2nd : three Sleropage formosus "high back golden" . They are allowed in Switzerland, but veryyyyy difficult to find in Europe... that means, it will cost me a kidney and I will definitely need a CITES permit to import

I had the chance to find quite easily a Labeo chrysophaekadion (the black lab).

This one will reach easily more than 2 feet

As you may have seen on the first video, there are a few "end of tanks" fish in this new version...

a school of Corydoras sterbai,
a group of 6 Crenicichla saxatalis (easy to breed, making living food on regular basis),
and a dozen of Danio malabaricus

that's it for today... stay tuned...

Hi,

great to see this project continuing! With regards to the Asian arowana’s - maybe you can find some on eBay Germany, there’s some serious shops on there who might be able to help you. Else I can ask around, drop me a pm if you like me to.

Btw, even though you have a lot of space did you consider going with a higher number to reduce aggression?
