120 Jungle Update

That middle driftwood is nice, really gives a sense of dimension to the tank. The rams are really nice as well.

Those Discus look really good! That poor Angel looks nice, but the guys probably sad being the only one in the tank. I LOVE the overgrown look!!! With that many plants, and as long as your filtering is keeping up, I don't see you being overstocked much. The plecos are poop machines, but the others are probably close to self sufficient with all that roughage. I want all my tanks to have grass like that, but it will never happen because I'm not using CO2.

I also do not have any CO2 and do not fertilize... At the time of the picture there were 3 angels, but he is alone now because 2 of the 3 spawned so they now have their own tank... At the moment i am running
an AC 110 and a marine 360 canister for filteration

Its been a little while, some fish added some taken out, same with plants... Thanks to a friend of mine i now have a variety of plants, even more than before.. And a new discus!! I lost a discus though too . one of my males succumbed to a parasite.. Unfortunately I could not stop it or make it better... But I bought a female red dragon after seeing my friends... His already have wigglers!! Im sooooo jealous..









My friends pair.... Laid eggs after 6 hrs of being in the new home... That batch did not make it, but he separated them from the pack and now has wigglers that should be free swimming by today!!!!!!

Been a while, many changes... Discus have paired off.. Now I have 3 breeding pairs! They have all been seperated and a new breeding project has been started!! Check it out in the DIY section under "Beginning of a new fishroom". So, some fish removed, some added, same with plants... had a problem with black-hair algae... What a pain in the ass!!! Now it seems under control.. Fingers crossed.. So now current stock list in the 120 includes:

2 discus: The matriarc of the group who's mated partner passed due to a parasitic infection. And a runt male who is now trying to court the female... Removed has been 6 discus all now in different stages of spawning..

1 chocolate Angel: 2 others removed now a breeding pair

5 differnet plecos: Gold nugget, blue phantom, green phantom, L114 sailfin leopard, sultan

3 Bolivian Rams: 2 have paired off and will be moved into the large breeding project in the basement..

4 different eels: 2 spiny a fire eel and another, G. tile ("FW" Moray) who is doing spectacular-his 3rd + year in the discus community, and a baby Sengal bichir..

and a couple loaches...

Here's a couple pics

I let the plants do most of the work. I do regular wc and the occasional "deep clean" of the gravel... It's really not bad at all
