[downxxer]

Comments are welcome. I have a hard time twisting and turning the driftwoods here and there. Any one have some recommandations?

haha ok. mine housing 8 of them. Do you think the cave is too big?

[Edmundo]

IMO, the key is the ratio rather than the group size. How big is your tank? 2ft?

As for the size of the cave, if you look at Jordi's, M-szie seems fine and fitting, for mine, S-Size fits well and M -szie will be too big for them. Thanks to Celtcfish advice. How big is your zebbies?

cheers

[downxxer]

Oh ok. I even have a large one didnt put in. Think got to sell and get a few more small ones.

Tank small, parameters fluctuates rapidly, do take good care of it. Ur blue light is sexy....... :D

[Mr.XPlecos]

i see that you're using a mixture of gravel for substrate. do you intend to scape the tank with aquatic plants? if not i think it would be quite a bother when one day you decide to clean the gravel.

[downxxer]

Erm both are gravel. Just 2 different colour. Cheers.

Yeah thanks for the advise. I know that small tank always have water perimeters issues. Praying hard. I'm going to keep 8 baby L46 in here. Hehe

Very thick layer of substrate. Cleaning might be an issue

[downxxer]

hmm. should i remove some?

[barmby]

you can I think if the tank is still young and clean. you don't want to disturb the bottom too much if your tank is mature because you are stirring the dirt into the water column.
