I’ll be adding seiryu stone and some more driftwood to the left side of the tank this weekend so more videos to come once completed. The sveni have put on acceptional size since starting to grow them at at under and inch earlier this year. Lots of water changes does wonders for fish growth and health. Fish are being raised in a ph of 6.5 with kh at 3 to 4 degrees. Will also be adding a group of atabapo altums this summer once they’re ready.

Stock list

F1 geophagus sveni
F1 guinacara Sphenozona red spotted from Suriname
F1 manacapura red shoulder Angelfish.
Julii Cory’s
A few Congo tetras
Gold rams
German rams

Very nice indeed, the Angels look great. A bit more decoration on the left of the tank is a good idea, I think it will balance things out.
Are these fish easy to get hold of in your area?

Interesting, I liked the contrast of open vs. decorated. Goes to show to each there own.

No I got them from discus origins on aqua bid. They seem super hard to come by though. He says not many people have the true red shoulder manacapura like these. They’re awesome fish. Will be amazing once full grown. But he’s getting the seiryu stone and driftwood on that side will make it looks great I think.

Hopefully you get a pair and can get a return on your investment.
I've never seen them here, i. Thinking about a rio nanay angel set up when I move house later in the year. This tank has certainly inspired me to think a bit harder about it.

There are two of the angels starting to show interest in pairing so keeping my fingers crossed. And I’ll be adding more to the other side of the tank on Monday when the seiryu stone and driftwood arrives. It’ll look quite a bit different when I’m finished with it
