Hello all Been just a bit busy these last few months (hospital worker!). But it's nice to catch up with all your tanks and see how things are developing - they all look great.
I had luckily shifted to a slower growing easy maintenance set up, with ferns and anubias on hardscape, around Christmas - though kept my beloved CO2 going as I find it so easy. I haven't touched it since replacing the fire extinguisher on Jan 1st, and it definitely gives even my "low tech" type plants luxurious growth. I have just been doing weekly hosepipe water changes and feeding, with once weekly Seachem Flourish which seems to be all the ferns need.
All inhabitants are doing well. I am keeping to a loose South American theme fish-wise and my current stock is:
10 rummynose tetras
9 cardinal tetras
Otos (about 6, but they seem to have bred - they're a few tiny ones now!)
3 marbled hatchetfish - want to get more but rarely see them
My devoted pair of Bolivian rams, who are breeding regularly (but eating their fry)
I finally got a bit of time off and decided I need some cories back in my life. I was very taken by Stephen's gold lasers and one of my LFSes had them in stock. So I picked up 3 to see how they got on, and plan to get another 3 today to make up a little shoal.
A few (terrible) pictures. I'll take some in the evening without reflections!

Yeah do it! I was encouraged by a fellow member here who said it's pretty much set and forget after the initial expense and set up, and he was right. I got the full kit from Aquarium Gardens, a local fire extinguisher and sorted.Andys temperate tank wrote: ↑Sun Aug 09, 2020 8:01 am Your plants look amazing. I think I need some co2.

Your ferns look amazing and a nice selection of fish.
Hope you can enjoy a nice break - the papers mentioned that the hospitals have been busy the last few months [understatement, no doubt]

Just got back from the Abyss with 3 little extra gold laser corydoras They immediately grouped up with existing three, who seem to be showing them around the tank! Very sweet.
Abyss has amazing stock in at the moment, for anyone local. They tend to sell most fish very young and small but they are healthy and the prices are good. Couldn't believe how tiny their cardinals / rummies / rams are compared to my chunky bunch.
