Thanks!

Ill need to transfer some of the Altifrons to another tank though.
There are too much fish in this tank when they will reach adult size.

My Altifrons breeding for the first time, 2 weeks ago. The first nest failed though.

Today they are making a new nest:
Sorry for the blurry pictures but my stative is broke.

Looks great! I actually commented on one of your youtube vids not to long ago and asked about your background. Any idea if "Akwaline" ships to the US?

 

[JanC]

Thanks! I have no idea. Maybe you should go to www.akwaline.nl and go to contact and ask them.

Will do, thanks for the link. Just curious, what kind of lighting are you using? I use to like the clean white look but am now really starting to like the more yellowish look. Is that the lighting you are using, or simply just the tannins from the driftwood? I suppose the light reflecting off the background would give off that color glow as well...

Again great setup, keep us updated!

I use a Sera plant light and Sera moon light, so one yellowish and one blueish.
The driftwood is giving a yellowish color too yes, and also the background.
I guess its everything together that gives this kind of look.

Some new pictures, without my stative its hard to focus. Saturday gonna buy a new one.

A disaster happened!
My poor Heterospila must have hit some wood and got eye trauma!
I put on the air and added salt, but it was too late!

RIP Heterospila! I will miss you!

I rearranged the tank a bit, added more wood. The Altifrons like hiding between the driftwood
