YUM!!! Cant wait for updates!!!
Hello friends,
my Pleuros moved already to the 600Liter tank. A Friend of my took 6 of his original 9 Pleuros to his tank, so i keept finally a group of 13 Pleuros.
Today they are not more so shy as they are after the moveing action. They also hunt down the Ch. Pulchra in 5-6cm *bangbang*
I will try to make some Pictures in good quality this weekend. But that will be a little bit tricky because i have many scratches in the glas :-(
the factory new 1000-1400Liter tank will come soon this year without scratches in the glas
just need to save some money this time all be perfect
I also sold my 2 Aruantimaculata Pairs for getting space for the new tank. I just hold the ruler on that space, and there could be enough space for an bigger tank than the mentioned one before. But this will be future sound...good to know that the space is there waiting ;-)

Hi all,
sorry for beeing so long away but i had alot of work to do.
So i give you an update what happens dureing the time.
First i gave an friend of mine 6 Pleuros of his 9. 3 of the 9 are for me thats way he got bigger ones.
So i left with a group of 13 Pleuros
which grow very nice and are really amazing in there behaviour.
Last month my Pleuro group moves to the bigger tank 200/80/60 cm approximately 960Liter
Here is a pic of the whole tank
and some pics of the process getting it to his final look.
here some detail from the plants from the left to the right corner
For the members who are interested in the technical details.
3 Chamber Biofilter, each chamber floated from top to the grownd thats needs a smaller chamber between filtermedium chamber.
Filtermedium: Bluesponge, 20Liter S...a Siporax
The Filter runs with a t..ze with 2.500liter/h and a second streaming pump with 4.500L/h is on the opposite installed.
Lightning is done by 3 energy saveing lamps with 20Watt (effecktive 100Watt /6.500Kelvin Daylight)
Thats the whole technic. The Tank stands on a selfmade block of Styropor sorry dont know the english word for this material is used in housbuilding for heating isolation.
But here a some Pics of my youngster in there new home:
and a video of my Pleuros

Hi,
i forgot to show you those pictures and videos in my former post.
This are pictures out of the April my Pleuros now reached nearly all of them the 20cm
They are still not that blue i hope they will show, but i think they will do at least when they reached the 30cm. There fins are shining sometimes very blue but mostly they are mice grey or that green ya see on the picture, depends on the mude, waterchanges and feeding.
Here is a Video which shows a little bit the variation of the colour.

Hi SCN,
i do 10 to 15% Waterchange a week, because i am afraid that the filter is now not 100% ok. The tank runs now already a Month and i moved nearly everything from my old tank into the new one in one day. The Watertest are realy good (nearly no no2 or no3 i can messure with my test) but i will give the filter a little time to stabilize and also the plants should do there job right. In the near future i will do the same amount of Waterchange but then every second or third Week once.

Hi all,
here are some new pics of my gang so enjoy it:
and finally i found out how i get colours in the picture while shooting with the flash. The result was the first try and is really far away from the optimum but i think i will made it soon better. Just need to relaxe my pleuros they didnt like the construction for the lightning so far. But here is the picture.
