Here are some pics of my 100 gallon red belly tank. Its heavily planted and decorated with driftwood. Please comment and suggest any modifications you guys think is appropriate.
I love the plants and all the cover. They are gonna get big...they like to swim against gentle current so I would put a power head of some sort( Koralia 2 to start) I know its a little late for it but I like smaller substrate with darker more than lighter to show off the red in those devil fish!!! RBP gave me scars!!! I like the look of the tank though...I think it will be good...How many are in there?
Here are some full shots of the tank. I'm very sorry for the bad picture quality. I have had the fish in this tank for a month now. There are five of them. They were about 1 inch when I got them, and now they are a little less than 3 inches. I have a power head which creates mild currents, and when these fellas are in a good mood they keep swimming against the current like they are exercising in laps. How do you say that the fish look stressed. I dont know if they are stressed or not, but they look healthy to me and have been behaving normally. They eat shrimps and fish meat as a staple. And once in a while I put in a live shark or some mollies for them to chase. The water parameters are normal with nitrates at around 15. I guess my plats are helping in destroying the ammonia. I do 50% water change every week.
Can someone please tell me if I should feed these fish shrimps with the shell or without the shell. Does the shell have an nutritional quality?
