Paratheraps breidohri & Vieja melanura

[nutty]

Here's another short video and a full tank shot from the fish house. The riverine project is still on hold for a short while as I wanted to dedicate the 400g to my small group of V. melanura. Luckily I have one male fish that developed from the group. They are sharing the tank with a P. breidohri pair.

This is day two of the move, so still a little skittish, a drop of food usually does the trick.

beautiful tank and fish! I really like your driftwood, it looks really natural like fallen branches

Cheers, appreciate it. The driftwood is in-fact fallen branches cut from a beech tree.

Breidohri are my favorite paratheraps, they look great! I've never had a chance to keep melanura but would like to some day. Your tank looks amazingly natural

Looks great as usual. Do you use a hand saw to cut the wood you collect?

Thanks for the comments guys.

Usually a pair a secateurs, these are easily concealed from dog walkers who may think I'm a serial killer walking through the woods with either a hand saw or an axe!

When I get home I usually trim the smaller parts of the branches with the same tool.

Damn Nutty, that tank gets better looking every time I see it. A truly natural representation.
