Riparium setup with Synodontis petricola

[Egon]

Just wow! I love it! Thanks for the pictures!

Thank you very much and you're welcome.

I hope to have more updates soon. I mean to add more plants to the underwater area this week.

I got a few new pictures tonight. I like this big centerpiece rock very much. I had pulled it from the 120-gallon and it had this great algae crust that it had developed over a long time.

That Ilyodon furcidens is gravid. I added the new underwater plants just the other night. I have an FTS right here and I'll post it soon.

I just formatted that full tank shot and here it is.

Wow, that is looking great. What ferts do you use on the tank?

 

[hydrophyte]

Thanks very much cockroach.

Mostly the plants just use the fish poo. I do dose with potassium and iron liquid ferts as well.

I got a few more quick pictures today. The plants are all looking happy enough. I think that the Cyrtosperma johnstonii and Pilea cardierei look good together.

I am setting up for some full-tank shots. Here is a view from the side.

This layout has been torn down. I tried to get as many pictures as I could before taking it apart. The plants were pretty much at their peak.

I have some more shots on the way I just need to format them and load 'em up.

What was the stock list (plants/fish) right before the tear down? Absolutely beautiful setup.
