I have a small filter running, – where I have slowed down the outlet of water, so its streaming very gently, otherwise it would create total cloudy conditions I am sure.
After a few days I put in a few fish, and after a few days more, some more fish, – now all together 12 all young off springs.
I also added two very big ketapangleaves which have been floating now for a week, but one of them now fell down. I might arrange it a little different, but the fish seem to like it as it is. I know that some people say that ketapang leaves can affect the ph very much, so it may seem a lot with 2 big leaves like this. I have not found these particular leaves to make a lot of difference, it may be that they are not very good ketapang leaves. But they are fine for decoration purposes.
In such a tank, the size and the decoration, which makes it actually really difficult to ‘interfere’ in, – catching any fish that looks ill, or changing anything, – and I have been thinking that I think I wouldnt do that if I did not have the experience to the extend that I know the water values is not a problem, that I can keep it stable, – or also in a way that I know the fishes 🙂 … – if I didnt have that with me, I would be lost, because one they are in there, – I probably will not get them out without tearing everything down. And I can never ever count them, – so I just have to trust they are all well and safe in there.
So I have to feel really confident in what I am doing. I quess I do feel that by now, but that is only recently 🙂
