Juwel Rio 450 LED: Made some bigger changes to my geophagus tank. I was looking for new wood for a long time and finally found some nice pieces. I did rehome the bristlenose pleco and the lemon tetras got a new tank too. I must say that i really like the new setup and my fish seem to like it too.

you‘re right! 😄 after 1.5 month with this setup i‘ve made some smaller changes. added a cryptocoryne aponogetifolia from my other tanks as a test. they did not uproot it so far. also added more rocks and 15 rosy tetras as dither fish. my geos feel MUCH more comfortable with dither fish and it looks nicer. will probably add some more. sometimes a setup need some time before it looks „finished“. im happy how my tank is developping. will sure soon make an update video. 😃

@@freshwatertanks I've done a good bit of research and there aren't many attractive tetra species that are native to Rio Tapajos. There is an orange variant of the lemon tetra and the kitty tetra which is very similar to the lemon, but may be a bit thicker and has a black spot on its caudal peduncle. You may want to look into some marble hatchetfish. Since your geo's are bottom dwellers it would be nice to have a fish that sticks to the top. Cheers!

i've made a few new videos after this one. the tank looks much more different now. i did change to sand though. so i'm not using the fine gravel anymore. the gravel was from the company dennerle called crystal quartz (1-2mm).

hi there 👋. they add tannins to the tank and give the water a nice brownish look. it‘s also said, that there are benefits for the fish. but i think it‘s the best if you google that. you will find lots of information about it! 😃

Was wondering where the lemon tetras went. That’s a thought to do..I actually have all my driftwood with Anubis roots growing all over them and after a year or so their dark green roots look great on any driftwood in my opinion, let alone the plant itself, my tapajos are enjoying their food on a anubius dinner plate as we speak. Lol. Was curious if it made their colors different at all yours seem more pearl/yellowish (tan) skin than most. Makes sense bc of how dark the tannins are. I like it. They sure do love there brine shrimp don’t they ;)

yesterday i called the aquarium store and they didn't have any anubias already attached to driftwood. so i've decided to add cryptocoryne aponogetifolia which i have in two of my tanks. i've surrounded the plant with stones and i hope they won't uproot it. will see. hope it will work out as it looks really nice. so far everything looks fine. if it's not workin i will go with the anubias like you!
