I live in Northern Michigan, and I have had many, many tanks over the years. Since getting married I am bound to one tank, no size limit just a "no more then one" rule.
My last tank had 7 Ctenopoma Acutirostre, 4 Anostomus anostomus, 5 pink tailed chelcius, 2 polypterus senegalus, and 1 Ctenopoma oxyrinchus. The tank was taken down when I moved to Michigan.
I currenty have a 220 with 44 Brilliant Rasbora (RASBORA BORAPETENSIS), java fern, & java moss. I am experimenting with 2" of oak leaves for substrate over 5 different size aggregate. I am into the natural look. My goal is a Southeast Asian Biotope. In regards to the fish, I am looking for something special, size is not the end all for me. I lean strongly to the uncommon with a bit of difficulty. In the new set up I am not going to mix species from different continents.
I joined the forum in hopes of not learning from the nearly infinite experience of fellow aquarists but also some ideas for something different.
Look forward to hearing from you.
