lilyann’s Journal: Congo Riverine Biotope Build

[Lilyann]

Because I was too spontaneous and did not think before I purchased the wild Altums, I have had to move my Alenquer discus pair into this tank to move the Altums into my 60 gallon. A very bad case of not thinking something out well before acting. So, right now, until the Altums are of size that they can go into the 180 Gallon tank, this is an African Congo tank with a discus pair. The perfect answer would be that I can convince the hubby that I need a 75 gallon tank to put the African tetras in that I have in the 180 gallon and make the 30 gallon an African biotope as well, but with smaller African tetras. Im having to juggle fish right now between tanks because of my lack of planning.

The plants are growing in well so far. When I can get the South American fish outta here it will be more authentic.

Looks good, when are the discus moving.

Soon as the Angels get some size on them and their fins recover from shipping damage Ill move them and the discus. Not sure how long this will take- maybe a couple of months?

Really like the discus pair. They’ll look amazing with the altums.

Cracking pair. You going to be breeding them?

Where is the pics of the angels? A nice dinner for the hubby should see him more agreeable with a full belly and beer in hand. lol

This pair has spawned many times but has just ended up eating them.
I think I will need to get a R/O system in order to get a successful spawn.

Here is a video of the Altums

I will get my tank eventually
