This is the tank that Im trying to get a pair of svenis out of.Its a 29g and it used to be an overgrown livebearer tank, full of platies, mollies, guppies and their fry (at least 5 generations). Then I got this little bellycrawler, and 4 or so little svenis, and before you know, no more livebearers.
So I cleared out the overgrowth and added a couple of little hiding places, in hopes of getting a pair out of it all. The svenis are only like 3'' now and they are tolerant of each other so far. The bellycrawler is 4'' and a little salty to the little guys, but not murderous yet. I hope my plan works out, if not, it sure looks real nice.
1st pic is a view of the tank.
2nd pic is one of the hiding spots.
3rd is of one of the little guys.
Ill posts a few more pics in a few days or so. The B-crawler is looking killer right now, but these little $#!ts dont wanna work with me today.
I also wanted to ask some of the gurus here if a pair will establish in this environment or am I going about it all wrong.

looking good bro....

looks nice
 
lookin good bro, i'll have to make my way down there one of these days and check your setups out. you sure know your live plants. i might need a tutorial from you....
 
Nice tank!
 
Lookin awesome man!! You might be able to get them to pair up in a tank that size...but if they do it'll be hell on the other pikes. Ideally, you would want to move them to a larger tank once they hit 6" or so so they have more breathing room. Keep us updated though for sure! ;)
 
Thanks for the replys lads, glad you like it. Wait till you see the others I have in the works, Bigger tanks with Bigger pikes and thick with plants. You're gonna freak!!
This is a view of it from my bed..
