The problem is at this moment that I´m looking for renting a house/apartment here in Stuttgart because, at this moment I live at my girlfriends house (shared with here parents, each a own floor in the house). Don´t want to start a big tank or sevral tanks… and break them down in a few months.
Instead of a 100cm+ tank the Fluval edge 46L is easy tank to transport without big problems.
Won´t be mixing any paros with Bettas. I would love to have a pair of macrostoma´s in a other tank bigger tank after having my “own” place, then I can set-up much more, but for now I wanna focus on a special fluval edge 46L tank with some paros (maybe a small fry-tank in the future when needed).What Betta species you have? Any breeding ?
Kijk een landgenoot op het forum, super :woohoo: .
Great info, will put it on the list of plants that I use for setting up the tank.
You use it as a floating plant or rooted ?
Was crossing my mind to keep a pair of Betta Macrostoma.
My set-up will be Paros only, as I like trying to breed them.Few minutes ago I did look up the thread you mentioned, and it looks great.
Thats more the way I want to go. Very nice picture!I think i might be missunderstood with the words “display tank”, I would describe it more as a tank that looks appealing in a natural way. It´s more like a biotope from where the fish comes from. Maintaining a “good looking” tank isn´t my mean reason why I want to keep paros.
The mean reason is to breed paros after I have the exp. to keep them healty.
But the tank shouldn´t look like a standard breeding tank with a bare bottom and lack of natural elements.Thank you Peter and Helene for your fast response!
I did forget to say that the tank will be a display tank.
So i realy want some plants in it and a substrate for the plants ( to cover to bottom to ), with on the substrate some leaves ofcours. Did find a small list of plants that are used in Borneo blackwater biotope tank.microsorium pteropus
crypto soorten
Hydrilla verticillata
Limnophila sessiliflora
Najas indica
Blyxa aubertii
Blyxa japonica
Hygrophila polysperma
Hygrophila corymbosa
Nymphaea stellata
Salvina natans
JavamosAbout the Hang-on filter that comes with the fluval edge 46L, it has a flowrate from 378 l/h Max – 125 l/h Minimal. So I did calculate it and thats a 2.7 of the total volume of the tank. As far as I know isn´t that to much in this matter (if i´m correct). While it only cycles on peat and filtation media.
Did look up the Fluval shrimp stratum and it sounds very good for using, it keeps the PH low, is good for planted tanks and looks good on the bottom (nice tip).
