What is MTS?

I really like the tank - have you added the zebras yet? And where did you get those caves? I made a little cave for my loaches out of PVC pipe, but so far they haven't taken to it. The other fish like it though. I think it may be too bright inside of it.

Duh! I didn't realize that there were 2 pages, so disregard the ? about the zebras. I don't blame you at all - I would wait as well.

i got the caves from a guy off of aquabid.com, the plecos i have in there now occasionally go into them but it was meant for the zebras since they are cave spawners.

not sure if your loaches will actually go into them but if you want i could sell/trade you some, i bought a five pack but dont have that much room for them all.

I appreciate it, but need to get my tank back on track before I do anything else. Just how big are the ones you have left?

Re: Planted tank/ zebra's new home**ready for the zebras!!

There are two sizes, the size that is offered on aquabid and one that I asked to be made a few cm bigger. I forget what the actual size is but if you search "caves" on aquabid it'll tell you

Re: First attempted plant tank

took some new pics today of the community planted tank.

added some corkscrew vals. from armthehomeless, pair of rams and a pair of bumble bee gobies, kinda feel bad cause i bought the gobies on a whim and now to find out they are brackish water fish.

Re: First attempted plant tank

got some bolbitas from a member over at apc and recieved more than what i intended to get. re-arranged some things and snapped a picture.

Re: First attempted plant tank

If you end up with too much of the bolbitas, I think Arm was looking for some.

Re: First attempted plant tank

I'll bring a few pieces to the swap, but I know it's in demand, so yeah, any extra would probably go really quickly. The tank's looking great! It's really starting to fill in. What are you planning on doing with the bumble bees?

Re: First attempted plant tank

Thanks for the compliments

The bumble bees seem to be doing great and living their new home. They are exploring the place, chilling on leaves and eating whatever gets put into the tank so I think I'm gonna keep them in there.
