Cichla + Potamotrygon Tank : I need your help in conception

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
How are the plants secured? Sounds kinda silly with all those beautiful fish, but the setup above water is inspiring just the same.

Did you crisscross branches of some sort above the water to support the plants?
 
quite a long time since I haven't posted here... a short video of this "big" tank, from the frontal view, just to focus on the "green wall"


and a second, to see the actual population, from "underwater" :

 
again, a long time from my last visit around here… I just say hello with a more than 5 minutes of underwater video into this tank :


HD is recommended…

feel free to comment (or to drool over :p )
 
Only one male Potamotrygon left... he killed the 2 females by harassing them back in 2012... I bought a new female (always P. leopoldi) and he killed her when she got 18-20 months old (early 2014)... I tried again, with a 5 years old female, bigger than him... it worked during 1.5 years, with 2 spawning (each time 4 pups) and during the 3rd pregnancy, he killed her again (2015)... I had a 5th female (P. motoro) he was with during 2.5 years, until she became mature... and then... I let you guess... yeah ! he killed her (April 2016)...

I have enough with this bastard... I stopped trying... he will stay there alone till... who knows ?
