Will post more pics once the cabinet is build.

 

@jagga, Awesome set-up, it really looks stunning.

 

smart tank jagga, nice size, i think CABOMBA Is BL, not too sure though, so be careful with that one. how many discus will you keep in there? it is going to look fantastic with discus in there

 

Nice going mate!!! Just a word of warning on the Cabomba - it's BL and wont survive the warm water anyways.... Look out for some Ambulia - looks almost the same + can take the warmer water....

 

@Skye01 Thanks

@Nadeem I dont know if Cabomba is black listed , but I'm sure some one will confirm that soon
The first batch of discus would be about 8 - 10. Hopefully all from Marco

 

Nice setup! cabomba and anubia's are Blacklisted.. all the good plants are lol.

 

Stunning...

 

Awesome .

 

@azurekoi thank you , then Ambulia will replace Cabomba on my list :blink:

That is the nice thing about TASA.If you want to someting about the hoby , there is always a quick answer.

 

He,he.... now just watch out though,two of the Ambulia's(Limnophila sessiliflora and indica) are BL.... the good news is that the commonly availible L.aquatica is quite easy to find... Didi at Pet Stop regularly gets some from a client of his that grows it in her Discus tanks...so QED if you can get there... Cheap too at R10 for a small bunch....

 

Nice man
How long did you leave the wood to leach ?

 

6 weeks , but I still have tannins.
Thats why i got purigen

 

You are a smart man

 

Very nice setup!

 

Hi guys ,

Just some updated photo's. The plants are realy going "bos".

The cabinet will be done before the end of this year :smile1:





Can someone please help me to with the sex of this Ram , need to get him / her a mate.

 

Nice! Looking really good @jagga :amuse:
Can't help on the Ram though...

 

The Ram looks like a female to me, judging by the rounded dorsal and anal fins and the line through the eye that is not that dark.

 

@jagga its very easy... when you go buy them from your lfs get one with a pink belly and one without.. the pink belly one is the female.
cant help you with that pic but here is an old pic of my breeding pair..see if can get anything from this

 

Thanks,but the problem is that the other ram died and now i need to get a partner for this one
