Is the tank that low and yellow for a reason? Nice cl though.

Must be during a water change?

treating with meds currently so dropped the level a bit. also there is a weir i have yet to plumb in so im trying to prevent escape! I think the colour is due to no lights and a white background and a barebottom. weekly 40% changes and a 2260 should be sufficcient?

Do you have fresh wood in there? Have you tested your nitrAtes?

wood is well established, nitrates were below 10ppm last time i got tested. i might scoop a jug out later and see if its just a trick of the light, water change tomorrow. tank is a 6x2x2 need to make a hood and get the lighting sorted. filter will be under the stand and im planning on adding a sump also.
stock is:
21 clown loach to 8"
1 blue acara
2 gouramies
1 angel
1 tench
1 frontosa
2 common plec
1 bristlenose

Why are you mixing your fish origins? IE: SA, and African...

Grammodes are great cichlids. Good luck on raising him.

I was planning on getting a group of frontosa but then got sidetracked by new world cichlids! The lone frontosa seems happy enough. Once the grammodes is out of qt it will be going in the 180g and i may get a couple more to go in the 125g
