Substrate experiment

I like it!

Thx man

Came out better than expected.

I agree and thx. The cb endli seems freaked out by the lack of sand. Keeps trying to bury himslef under the rocks

Nice, where is the BV?

Bv is in the other tank with the big guys. For some reason i was apprehensive about leaving 3 polys together. Felt that the ornate may get on his b.s

But i may swap the del and bv. I wanted to bulk up the little guys during this experiment and the dels appetite is ridiculous. Probably better suited to compete with the ornate, faranah, and congi

Ok sonthe guinea pigs are as is.
1 cb endli
1 BV endli
1 sen
1 palmas palmas

Couldnt find many before pucs because god forbid i do anything in my house that doesnt pertain to my wife and kids lol but here are some old pics and some just taken. Not sure if its just me but i think the palmas palmas is showing something different.

Before



Day 1 in the red painted tank


How long do you guys wanna wait to change to the red garnet sand. Think 2 weeks is enough for them to settle in ?

Mines change after about 3-4 days, pattern should show more after 2 days and contrast will be brighter after 4th day. I can see the BV starting to show some potential nice patterns

did you use a special kind of paint for the glass or...

Sorry i missed this post. I used rustolim on this project but in the past i've used out door latex paint. I like the latex paint because it can easily be scrapped off

2 weeks sounds like a good plan IMO, then you can take any transition stress out of the equation.

Science rules. 2 weeks- 4 weeks max. Although, I don't know if I'll be able to wait 4 weeks...They look good on the red!

This little project is turning into a headache.
Cb endli is out, was beatin on the BV. Got it right on the snout before i shot the vids.
