wah very nicely done bro. 4x2x2 tanks are something i eventually wish to do too. yours is an inspiration! btw your cardinals may take some time to "settle down" before behaving more normally. I experienced it before too where my cardinals seem to just school and hide in one corner during the first couple of weeks i put them into my tank. no worries.

Thanks bro, i guess by now the caridinals should have been settled down.. all are fat fat but don't seems to school. perhaps the group is too big.. might reduce number to 80..

i find something very very weird.. they now school in 1 large group during morning to late afternoon, they school among the stem plants behind.. but once it hit after roughly 8pm when the whole living room gets dark(only the tank's light is on), they start to school at the front right corner tightly(which the above pics shows), which only a handful cardinals are 'brave' enough to stay among the stem plants. im thinking perhaps they feel unsecured when their surroundings are dark?

My Neon Tetra behave the same too. They school at one corner of the tank in the day but when the main lights goes off and the moonlight in the middle of the tank comes on, they will school under it. Seems like they are afraid of darkness.

haha.. but now they are just swimming everywhere.. when a person walks near then it schools.. think i need to build a scarecrow soon!

Then that should be just nice when you are viewing them. Reminds me of Nemo looking back at us from the tank...

Really nice and hope to see more pics up. This inspired me a lot and maybe I should plan for a large tank too..... :-)

Thanks for sharing.

haha.. they still go back to their own business after they get used to you.. like now, when i sit infront of my tank, they don't school too..

[jeffteo]

Mine will "school" at the corner where I drop the food when they are hungry. After that they are every where.

i drop my food near the wavemaker which usually will be blown everywhere.. my fishes have no problem finding food.

hi evo, just a quick question. in your experience, are fluval canisters reliable?

[EvolutionZ]

Fx5 is my first fluval canister. i would say its not bad at all.. build quality and such.. spare parts readily available at c328 as well.

[hayabusa]

ahhh, thanks man. deciding on getting another canister but don't wanna splurge too much!

Hi EvoZ, long time had not drop by your thread.
How is your tank doing and is the HC growing well?
Would love to see your latest tank photos

[EvolutionZ]

will update soon, sadly till date, my HC has not spreaded.. yes, not even a single bit.. but i planted glosso roughly 2 weeks ago and they are spreading well.

[jeffteo]

Is your HC growing upwards that why not spreading?

[EvolutionZ]

Is your HC growing upwards that why not spreading?

Nope, its totally not growing at all. my Glossos are already spreading sideways only a week after planting... seems like i have no luck with HC.

[jeffteo]

If Glosso can grow HC sure can. Just leave it and give it more time. So how long is it since the HC are planted?
