Hi, first of all, sorry for writing in English, my German is very poor. I come from the Czech republic, my main aquarium interest is the labyrinth fishes, but I have been out of the hobby for several years. Now I am back and I want you, the experts, to comment on my tank ideas.
I have three tanks available, 120x30x40 cm (30cm is the height) - 144 litres brutto each.
The first tank would be planted with Anubias, Bolbitis, and would contain a group of Microctenopoma ansorgei or may be both M. ansorgei and M. fasciolatum. Some small schooling ditherfish might be nice - any ideas for suitable west african dither fish?
The second tank would be south asian peat swamp. I think about a group of chocolate gouramies, some small rasboras as dither fish, and may be dwarf croaking gouramies? It is probably too large for paros.
The third tank would house fishes of north India who like a lower temp in the winter - honey gouramies, Badis, Dario...
What do you think about it?
I would also like to keep Channa bleheri. Would it be better in one of the tanks mentioned above (alone, of course, I know J. Vierke succesfully kept them in a similar tank), or in a shorter but more spacious tank 100x40x50cm (200L)?
