Burbot's Bichirs

[Burbotman]

Dang your tank keeps looking better. I am so jealous!

Im jealous of you being able to have live plants... Everything in my tank is sucked into my afrowana's mouth unless its a big rock....

Thanks guys but I have to say the whole live plant think has been an adventure and eye opener. Snail outbreaks/influx of detrus worms and a current outbreak of hydra. Ultimately this experience is making me a more complete hobbiest I feel. Keeps me more involved with the tank

Current state of affairs, contemplating a java moss side wall. Say some cool plans for a mesh wall the moss grows over

It hasn't been too bad, I prefer to think of it as managing a small ecosystem.

Thanks, but the plant growth is about half of what I envision it to be

The tank is coming along great Burbot. The polys are beautiful. It's great to see others going the planted route with bichirs. I find them so much more active and outgoing in a densely planted tank. Keep an eye outon Spencer Jack's website. I've picked up 5 bichirs from him in the last few years. He's had retros, teugelsi, dels and endlis all in the last year.

Thanks James, your tank is really what inspired me to get into live plants
Thanks for the website heads up, I got on the email notification and will keep watching what they bring in

I do agree it seems very natural plants and polys

Too jealous, those plants would be shredded by my afro overnight...

Burbotman There has been some interest in your epic poly collection in this medium. Especially, your legendary 20" or plus now Weeksii . Would you have an update? Thanks for your time.
