Updates on my Heckel Tank

[mrrobxc]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to post a quick update. The heckels are starting to settle in and are now feeding on live blackworms, frozen blood worms, and FD tubifex.

I added 7 hemiodus gracilis and I plan on getting 3 to 5 more soon. I have Cory cats in QT right now and I have 5 crenicichla regani on the way which will also be QT. I am thinking of switching the rio nanay angels out and replacing them with Manacapuru Angels to go with a biotope look from rio negro.

Lmk your opinions.

Glad to see they are settling in and agree with adding more movement. Any trouble with the bigger pikes? I feel like discus need to be the top of the food chain for a good experience.

I don't have the pikes any longer in there. Wasn't working. I'm going to put in dwarf pikes insread.

Gorgeous tank as always and I like the idea of switching the Angels to Manacapuru.

So no more Zebrina with the Discus? Or was that another tank?

This is another tank. The zebrina and the domestic discus worked for a bit but I moved the diadema into the tank since they were bothering my heckels when I was trying to acclimate them. The diadema stressed my domestics and they succumbed.
