a part of my collection

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Stunning, I'm totally jealous, and this is only "part" of your collection!! The fish are gorgeous especially the stewartii sp 'himalaya' and asiatica, but what I admire about your tanks is the way you set them out. Fully planted bog wood mazes which the fish MUST feel comfortable in.
Good luck breeding those you've not had fry from yet. I'm sure it's only a matter of time.
 
Hi,

i recognized riday that my pulchra have freshly hatched fry, they are 4mm long, transparent, and are not really swimming free yet.
But my cam has no goood macromodus, so no shots available.

For the tank setup, I recommend to use cork bark pipes, as think as an arm. These pipes swimm, and chased channa can hide in them and breath air without being bullied by theyr partners.

I have the filter outlet through one tube, and my asiatica female enjoys to slide through it on the water stream *lol*

I have planted some moss on the arial parts of the bark.

mangrove roots are a good planting ground for moss, too
