75G – Cleaned Up
October 22nd, 2008As promised, here is a picture of my 75G after some trimming and cleaning up. I didn’t end up changing the aquascape very much, but that will hopefully come before too long. I have changed the fauna in this tank, however. I managed to fish out about 15 Corydoras paleatus, which I sold in the catfish convention auction.

I replaced them with about 60 Threadfin Rainbowfish (Iriatherina werneri) that I had kept in quarantine for the last few weeks. I also intend to fish out the Goo Obo Gudgeons from my 54G tank to turn this into more of an Australian/New Guinea themed tank. My hope is that the Gudgeons will breed without the Corydoras in there to disturb their eggs. We’ll see! Let me know if you have any suggestions for the aquascape.

What a great improvement! I can actually see a large patch of your java fern trident in there 😀 I really like it!

It looks like it belongs in a magazine, just beautiful!
How are your dwarf cray’s doing?

The tank is beautiful!
I bet the 60 threadfin rainbows are stunning together.
I’d love to see a picture if you have one.

Thanks Sarah! The threadfins are pretty nice. I don’t yet have a picture of all of them together, but I do have some from when they were in quarantine:

I’m sure I’ll get some more pictures soon enough. Thanks for the comment.
