    Looking really good.
    I may have said it before, but it's really nice to see a "Tang" tank that isn't the standard sand patch with some rocks. :thumbup:

    Thanks @Reedfish I hope to do the same with the transvestites tank as well. Just not sure how they will treat the plants

    I use snails to clean up.
    Also, I bred all my similis and brevis at pH7

    Finally an update. Not much going on in the tank. Sitting with about 20 fish in the aquarium at the moment, can't catch them with all the damn wood in there. Had a bit of a hair algae problem and moved the light higher up. This caused the anubias to get a bit of a beating so the light is back where it was and I will take care of the algae with my trusty toothbrush. Add more shells as well to make sure everybody has a home whiles keeping social distancing.

    Plant wise I added some bolbites and java fern today. Over the week end I moved the peace lilly and Indian water fern, from the gourami tank, here to see if it can help with the hair algae problem. Will see how it goes. Btw I only have sucsess with the Indian water fern if it drifts on the water. When I plant it I kill it.[​IMG]

    So this aquarium came to the end of it's life about a month ago. Couldn't get hold of any fish for the upper half of the aquarium and just got bored with them. I also wanted to upgrade the Gourami's to a bigger tank allong with the Apistogramma cacatuoides I received.

    Was a very interesting year and a half I shared with them though.
