hi. looks like i can only post in here till i reach round 30 posts. anyway. im now starting a new project. round about end of next month, ill have a new 6ft tank that will hold 500l.

im planning to fit a RO filter alongside a uv filter and a normal filter. ( ill see how good the built in one is before i think about a different one)
im thinking of putting down a plant substrate below fine black sand/gravel to show off my fish to the best advantage, and to give the best start to fish and plants.
now this is the tricky bit. im going to have a group of zebra plec s. yes, the pricey ones. joining them will be discus. starting with the 4 red melon babies ive got atm. id like to also get a red Turk or two and a white one, cant rember the name off top of my head. gonna have a nice group of Celebes Rainbow fish, as i think these are lovely fish.

im hoping that in a year or two the zebras are breeding so i end up with a lovely big family of them in my tank. it would be nice if a few of the discus pairs up, but im not to worried, as id then have to fuss about fry tanks and growing them on ect. witch i wouldn't mind too much, as im still keeping my 4ft 270l tank, so ill prob put a couple dividers in there or something.

im mostly after input from as many people as i can. i will be keeping the zebras in my 4ft tank for the time being, until i have it cycled and mature, but im going to help that along, by using filter media and tank water from my mature tank.

hi wackytpt,

any trapping/spawning action form your zebras?

[Wackytpt]

Not spawning recently. But my hands are tie looking after the fries

plans are on perment hold, due to not having a job after all.

Is it permanent hold? Do you intend to find a job first then continue with the plans?
Or are you ditching fish for good? Just wondering. I can't imagine myself living without fish.
