Planted lentic tank....

[robmcd]

I replanted my 100g after a full on substrate change and overhaul for my new lenticulata last week. I feel that today it is picture worthy (pikes still shy). Tankmates are as follows:
1 silver aro-12''
1 prochilodus-5''
1 big ol' con-4.5'' (going to bsixxx)
1 barred midas-3.5'' (also going to bsixxx)
1 beat up bellycrawler-4.5''
1 royal plec-7'' L# idontcare
1 common plec-6''
And the lady of the house is 9-10''. Hope you all like it.

thats nice but your gonna need a lot bigger tank for all of those fish
especially because of that arowana, he needs a 180 gal just for himself
i hope that you plan on getting a larger tank soon

Hey Rob, I am getting rid of my Royal Pleco and my common Pleco this weekend cuz I want to do live planting.
Break lose with some of your green thumb advice as for as what type of plants to put in with my pikes and other cichlids. Keeping in mind they need to be Hardy with some of the fish I have.
When it comes to plants I am an illiterate. Bout the only one I have ever kept are some of the Anubias. I know they are tough and Hardy.

Its been trial and error for me the whole time but Ill PM you some info or lets hook up on chat in the next couple 0f days. Keep the plecs!! Royals eat wood and my common does no damage at all.

So how many fish have you lost to aggression or being eaten yet?

Congrats on the 'upgrade' in pikes bro! Hope it makes the fire burn hotter and deeper within you!!
