Remodeled 55 Gallon - Amazon Biotope

Thanks Steven! It's drifted a little ways from being a "true" biotope because I had to temporarily house my 2 platys (central american) in there and within a few days I had baby platys in my cabomba! I've had them for about 4 months and they NEVER had fry until I put them into this tank so I am guessing they feel more at home there.

 

I know the absence of a background ruins it but I will be getting one soon. I have been procrastinating it but I will also be taking off some of those baby amazons and planting them as well. I also want some more cabomba.

 

ah! haha it's okay. I'll get some eventually. Money is just kind of tight at the moment because we just moved into a bigger and more expensive apartment and we just got a puppy so I'll start adding additions soon enough haha

 

I got a few new additions and here is the current stock list for my Amazon tank.

1 Rubber Lipped Pleco (Chaestoma milesi)
3 Marlboro Red Discus (Symphysodon sp.)
5 Neon Tetra Jumbo (Paracheirodon innesi)
7 Emerald Green Corydoras (Brochis splendens)
1 Otocinclus Catfish( Otocinclus sp.)
1 Freshwater Flounder (Achirus lineatus)
1 Harlequin Rasbora (Rasbora Heteromorpha)
2 Platies (Xiphophorus maculatus)
1 Banjo Catfish (Bunocephalus sp.)
5 Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi)
2 German Ram (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi)


I know a few species aren't from the amazon but I liked them so I threw them in.

 

Haha yeah. Once I find my banjo catfish in there, he's getting kicked out. He's the one that has been killing my fish. I keep finding them dead in the morning.

AVOID GETTING PREDATORY CATFISH UNLESS YOU HAVE BIGGER FISH haha

lesson learned
