Ok thanks for the outlooks.

I changed the tank around a little bit. I removed everything on the right side and added some fake grassy plants to the entire bottom of the tank for a spawning bed. If I don’t see any fry or any breeding behavior then I’ll add java moss.

One thing I’m worried about is that I think I only have one female. I’ll prob get a couple more…

hey all, here’s an update on the tank. I totally rescaped as you can see. The rock pile is hollow in the back and the cpds seek refuge there.

The new plants are:

Stargrass (sides)
Elatine triandra (front)
Peacock moss wall

the open look w/ the stones only is called “Iwagumi” a japanese art style which means using an arrangement of rocks or stones.

Thanks, The fish are hiding in the tangle of moss. I will split them up and try to get two groups going. Prob in a 20g or 45gal. I’ll prob leave 3 in this tank.

Chad here, I’m from mid-michigan (lansing area). I’m 29 years old and married now for 2 years, have a 3 year old son and a 46 day old daughter. I started keeping fish in 2002. I keep 7 tanks as of now, w/ several others empty waiting for fry. My fish loves include; piranha, plecos, small catfish, central and south american cichlids, as well as tetras.

I haven’t known about Galaxy rasboras – OOPS!! did I just type that – I mean Celestial danios for only a few months now. I first heard about them on another forum. They didn’t intrigue me until about two months ago when I they had finally made it within my reach. I keep 11 of them in a 3 gal eclipse tank at the moment. I intend on splitting them up into smaller groups and breeding them soon.

I hope to get to know some of you and will keep posting up w/ questions and experiences of my endeavor.
