Finally! 20 Gallon is ready

Post by kribkid17 »

Been looking for some lights for the tank forever and finally found some at seafari, got a great deal($10 per fixture). If you need lights, hit them up. While I was there, I couldn't help but grab that beautiful piece of driftwood, another great deal. Unfournately I didn't soak it long enough so its leaching pretty good. Oh well. Once the plants fill in,it should look pretty good. Now i just need to get some fish. Some apistos would be nice but no one has them in stock. Anyone have any pairs of small cichlids they want to sell?

I have 2 wild strain apistos that I got from a speaker at one of the meetings. I can't remember what kind, though. I think they are apisto cacatuoides. They are descendants of some the speaker caught in the wild. Also, I think they are both males.

That is one nice looking tank! One of these days I am not going to have 13 inch plecos and I will have a real display tank... I can not help with the Apistos though.

Finally got some fish, picked up 4 little kribs, and 2 already paired off and are terrorizing the others. I also added more plants. I'm disappointed with seafari. I bought some "purple waffle" because it was pretty and "it'd grow well" only to find out when I got home that it will die submerged.

Third times the charm! I've seen wigglers twice now but finally they have swimmers!

Congrats on the Kribs!

Sorry about the plants. I try to be real careful when buying new plants as I too have bought some that really were not aquarium plants and do not do well in aquariums. It happens.
