My Taibeemix Experiment

Here is the tank:

54l
Eden 501 Filter
Shrimp Soil
Temp 22°C
2x 15 W T8 (Amazon Day and Power Glo) Not happy with the Powerglo though, might change to Life Glo.
Some snails
Bok leaves
Some roots

So far I have two bamboosticks with Javamoss and 3 stones with riccia in it and some other plant (dunno the name). Tomorrow I will add some Shirakura Mineral Stone, Triangelmoss, Blepharostoma trichophyllum, Riccardia chamedryfolia and some mossballs. Moss is already watering in the bathroom.

On thursday I get a shipment of Taibeemixes from Germany. Pictures will follow when they are in the tank.

Here is a pic of the tank from today.

mycket snyggt! :slight_smile:

Tycker jag med :slight_smile:

Superfint! :slight_smile:

“Ganska, ganska så najs” Riktigt fräscht!

This is how the tank looks now. Tomorrow the räkor arrive from Germany.

Riktigt snyggt ! :shock: Kör du med gödning ? Jag får aldrig mina växter så fina… En liten notis bara,personligen tycker jag det är snyggast om man fyller karet ända upp,så man inte ser en “nivå” på framrutan alltså…bara min personliga reflektion… :thumbs:

No gödning, just lots of light. And I will fill up the water tomorrow morning :slight_smile:

Snyggt Jen :smiley: :smiley: !!! Boklöven bör vara bättre än eklöv för de innehåller inte en massa garvsyra som eklöven gör, sen ser det mer naturligt ut med de löven i karet :smiley: :smiley: !!!

Water parameters from this morning:
Ph 6,8
Conductivity 260 µS/cm
KH 1
GH 8
NO3 /
NO4 /

They just arrived. Beautiful little things, all alive, nice color mix. I am very pleased. They are under a drip for the next hours now to get them used to the new water. Will take photos later today or tomorrow.

Okay, after the last distater, my new try now.

Same tank, but it now has 10 Galaxys (and lots of babyfish) in it. They have been in there since the disaster. Water parameters are fine. I took out the bamboo sticks and the mossball. Added CO2 (mäsk). Gödning daily with Iron and Easy Life Easy Carbo. (Weekly dosage :7, then : 4) Moss is perling with oxygen again.

Last week 5 rosa Snowwhite (Thanks, Janne!) and 2 Taibeemixes moved in. So far they are doing very well. Keep your fingers crossed !

gillar dom verkligen gödningen? järngödningen brukar ju innehålla koppar! Easy carb till snowwhite??
mvh clas

They don’t seem to care about the gödning; I just saw the first female with eggs :slight_smile: I think my dosage is so low it is okay.

Update: I have now I have now 12 rosa snowwhites and 10 CB Taiwannmixes (F1) in the tank.

I recently cleaned out the tank, took all the fish out and a few plants too. Washed the soil and put in a bit less. As the only plants I now have 2 mossballs, Azolla caroliniana and Pistias with very long roots and a handfull obscure moss that someone brought back home from a trip to Malaysia. I have also some roots, leaves and bark in there. And a Söchting Oxydator.

Before I had babies but they never lived long. Now I put the females with eggs in the Easy Breeding Box. I just had a Snowwhite release her babies in the box a week ago. I feed the young in the box twice per day with Mosura Bio Plus, Biomax Biozyme, Biomax Aminovita P, Biomax Politase. They are doing great. Seems to be lots of CR so far and a few snowwhites.

Intressant, har du några färska bilder Jen :smiley: :smiley: ???

Haha skrev i en annan tråd och frågade hur det gick för dig och sen upptäckte jag att du skrivit det här hehe :stuck_out_tongue:
