205 gallon Amazon blackwater tank

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Any pics of the fish in the tank yet?
Another ? - What kind of driftwood is that in your tank? i really like it...
 
Those lights look sweat! But then you'll have all those 'shadows' between each light. I was thinking of more of a 'moon light' look, from a single source so it looks more like actual mnlght. Know what I mean, or not? Like, something that would'nt look like it was being lit artificially....

Sounds like the kind of thing I wouldn't find in New Zealand. :irked: This one has the allegedly great rippling effect, though.

I had bamboo in it before (as seen in the pics on the first page of this thread) but replaced it all with fallen tea tree that I cut and cleaned.

Cardinal Tetras
Rummy Nose Tetras
Blue Face Heckels
Pencilfish

or

Black Arowana
Stringray (whichever)
Peacock Bass

Nice tank!
 
I've been trying to get a look something like this photo from the amazon by Amano Takashi, I think it's not a bad likeness so far:


Incidentally I've got a can of coke and most of a big mac for whoever can identify the most fish species in this picture...
 
Where abouts in nz are you mate?..
I returned home to auckland over christmas to find that all but 1 of the best fish stored had been turned into Animates...
Are you hamilton north?..
 
I like the looks of your tank better than the one you are trying to make yours look like! :D Your tank's more interesting, even without firsh in it! And I don't really care for all those different types of Tetras they have together in theirs either. Oh, - was wondering if you can please take a few tank shots from the other sides of your tank also? Please.........?:D
