Gday Brendan,  Spoke to via FB. Great to see you have joined the forum.
Good bunch of people here even the American keeping ones

 

Have you got pics of the tank build?

[brenno71]

I will upload some build photos in the d.i.y. section tonight

Welcome mate,

 

Dont worry about Az, he secretly wants to keep Americans but I think he is concerned he may not be manly enough. (In case you think this is getting strange and you havent read it yet check out this thread: http://www.perthcich...topic=56272&hl=)... Tank looks great, I really like dark sub straights and backgrounds with Malawi's.

What species have you got in there?

I've got quite a few some electric yellows and blues, variety of peacocks, silver sharks, fire mouths, clown loaches, albino pleco, bristlenose, rusty's, albino greyshaki's, texas cichlids, convicts and of course a goldfish there is more than that I have a list somewhere but last time I did a count there was about 75 fish.

I also have a 90lt tank with a colony of brichardi kiku's and a 60lt with 2 shellies.

and a planted 20lt fluval tank with dwarf gourami's and tetras I want to remove the gourami's and make it a shrimp tank but am not sure about the legalities with the fisheries

[malawiman85]

Just dont tell anyone about the shrimp and no one will know.

I quite like dwarf gourami's, I have two in with my cherry shrimp, royal whiptails and some tetra's. Shrimp still seem to be multiplying though perhaps not as quickly as before.

What are you filtering with in your 1500?

I have a fluval fx6 and a cheap 1200lph canister filter

[brenno71]

my planted tank

[malawiman85]

That tank would look awesome with 100 or so shrimp doing their thing. Nice dwarf gourami too, they look so good with tetras in small planted tanks.
