This is for my juv L46s (not bred by me :()

From my limited experience of rearing these babies since 1" plus, i learnt that it is not that tought afterall, one needs is good water(needless to say) sufficient hiding place and i find DWs lotsa crevices the best to acclimatize them, cave at this point of time is useless, they prefer tight fitting crevices to feel secure,. Ideally place these "hideouts" near the front panel.

The hornwort is a trial to remove excessive nitrogen and armonia by-product.

Tankset : 2ftx1.5ftx1ft(H)
Filter : Tetra EX90 cannister
Media : BioHomme(grey)
Substrate : No brand black gravel
Decor : Snake like driftwoods and smooth rocks

Livestock:
1) 15 x L46s juv
2) 1 x L10a (red lizard cat)
3) 2 x Rummy nose
4) 4 x sakura shrimps (cleaners of cos!)
