Cheers. I'm sure there's a step by step on this tank from quite a while back. I closed the tank down for some reason, then only dragged it back out of storage last week. I've probably deleted the photos mind.skaaa;3235191; said:

nutty;3235172; said:The Hericththys i love atm, is H. deppi. Not a particularly colourful fish, but i love the shape and orange facial markings on them. We have quite a few available over in the UK and a few of our members have spawned them. So plenty supply.
Nice collection you have. We have both Yellow labridens and turquoise available here, turquoise has been spawned too.
I was going to add a shoal of swordtails as dithers, they work very well in my other tanks.
Thanks appreciate it.
You guys are very lucky to have the turquoise available. I haven't seen them for sale online in years and have never had a chance to buy one. Great looking fish. The deppi are nice and over here are fairly rare. Poste some pics when you get them in there new home.
Some of the Herichthys sp were brought from Rusty Wessels private collection, so the guy was very lucky in that sense.jgentry;3235237; said:
Rusty and Willem Heijns are both coming over to UK to give presentations to our group in October, so should be interesting.
I'm very jealous. Great looking tank. Fantastic wood. Overall impression is simlple, clean, and natural. Will show off the fish. What type of sand are you using? Did you do a partial mix of pea gravel into the substrate?
I'd love to see some thorichthys sp in there. Swordtails are an excellent choice. What variety will you use?

As for fish, i've introduced a pair of Herichthys deppii.
Thanks.
Just seen this thread, nice tank I love the natural looking setups. I recently started collecting my own branches and twigs for my tanks and love the look and the fish seem really happy with them in a community tank. Lets see some pic's with the fish!
