Do you find that their behavior differs with the added above plant coverage?

Sometimes I get the impression that they like to hang out below the floating plants more than on the clearer bits (I scoop 3/4 of the water surface free every 2 weeks), but sometimes they don't seem to care. I would say it is defenatly helping them feel more secure, but not necessary for them to feel secure. Lightning (dim) and lots of wood also matter a great deal. They love to explore every little corner of the tank looking for left over live food.

Thanks! Sometimes they are, let's say they have there periods. They can really make life hard for each other or the panaque, there strike is impressive and scary (I don't stick my hand in if at all if they have there agressive period), but there mostly really relaxed and interactive in a positive friendly way.

Thanks again Tom :) It is indeed duckweed, but the other plants are fake. The panaque constantly destroys real plants.

Thanks marvin, if I had more time I would def. also have a mixed set-up like yours, I absolutely adore your tanks :) But this is low maintenance and suits this period in my life best.

Btw still jealous about your blue eye panaque!

We need a feeding video!!!!
 
why is the setup so dark? Other than that I love your choice of fish.
 
very nice!! do you have any information about them? i've been looking all over the place for breeding information.

thanks,

vess
 
damn nice, i remember when i had a loving pair-- doing the dance, laying on each other, swimming together, but now they just beat the sh_t out of each other. i've tried ro water, plants, dithers, etc.. might i suggest a really deep tank, so they have room to "fall" when embraced and not get sexually fustrated. lol
