One of that little
tanks that nowadays
are counted
as one of the category "little tanks". The pictures clearly
show that that does not need to devalue the beauty and pleasure. Of
course it has all dealings with the sophisticated way in which the aquarium
got a place in the spacious
living of this apartment in Helmond.
Dimensionally, still being straightened by the floodlight that comes
out of the light hood and give the right accent to the wall behind the
aquarium mealy is a pity that he did use clear perspex. That gives sight
on the, it's true well-cared-for techniques. The frosted kind would
make the light a little less blazing for those who like to enjoy the
aquarium from nearby. The planting is kept simple; Hetheranthera
zostaraefolia and some Valisneria spiralis. Perhaps this
is determining the attractiveness.
In der beschränkung.... A group of 5 piece Megalamphodus megalopterus,
the black phantom salmon, is a little to few. Also 11 Paracheirodon
innesi makes not yet a real school. When choosing for the smaller
neontetra makes extension sensible. The Star Grass will grow t full
when there is really topped1*). The composition
of the soil would be a little more interesting when the structure would
have been chosen less monomorphous. Variation makes it more attractive
to at and more functional in a biological way.
My
advice: Choose a even smaller fish (The Ember Tetra f.i, Hyphessobrycon
amandae) and combine it with a group of 3 Apistogramma ( f.i. A.
panduro) The illustration above gives a clear idea of this attractive
color combination. Especial with the cave breeding Apistogramma there
is to get more enjoyment in the tank. Actually I don't make a habit
of it to impose the population to be chosen; there is no disputing about
tastes....... But possibly the participant does not know yet the exceedingly
attractive H. amandae. It is not to be seen every day. Again
a typical little fish that, in the tanks of the pet shop, is a nondescript
and pale fish. When it is proper cared for and in the right milieu it
becomes a little jewel. The picture shows 11 males; the females are
less red. The phantoms are allowed to stay.
1*)we speak of to top when we take off the upper part
of a plant and wait until there form new tops,ready topping is take
off the bottom of a plant an put back the top in the soil. The first
way results in little plants and the second way larger ones
