    New here, from Cape Coral

    Post by JJP2 on Thu Feb 16, 2012 1:02 pm

    Hi,

    I'm John, been into fresh water planted tanks for 5-6 yrs now. Started with a 55, then went to a 125, and now at a 180. Stu-Nice told me about the site, when he took my 125. Here are some shots of my 180 which has been up for a month. I did have large rainbows and clownloaches, but going to go with Angelfish, have some farowella's in quarentine, and not sure about the clown's. Stu also got some of the large rainbows, that I could catch.

    Welcome aboard John, I don't see any pics or attachments.

    We have a lot of angelfish keepers on here and I have some big tanks too (1)240, (1)150, (2)125, (1)90 also a bunch of smaller tanks. If you are looking to get rid of the clown loaches I have a great home for them in my 240 tank which currently has 4 clowns all between 4-6inches.

    I tried to post pictures, but I got an error indicated that new members aren't allowed to post links for 7 days. The image icon, didn't do anything after I specified my pictures, so not sure what to try next.

    I like Clownloaches. My first thought for the 180 was to put 12 in it with plants and then a large school of brillant rasboras or blood fin tetras. I'm going to keep the clowns and see what happens, they just might look too out of place though.

    I didn't know about the picture thing, guess we all have to wait till you pass quarantine, lol. If you put some big driftwood in the tank the loaches blend right in, if not they stick out like a sore thumb.

    Sorry, its an anti spammer thing.... I re-enabled it after loads of fake users selling everything from purses to timeshares Rolling Eyes

    Glad you are here! Post any questions you may have! Sounds like a very pretty tank!!! I was always a sucker for a good planted tank Wink
    I did freshwater for a good long time but am primarily salt now.

    Farowellas are awesome!!
