Rescape of Panaque tank..

[Mooo]

I have wanted to do this for ages, I removed the white substrate & replaced it with brown similar to the one I had in there already..

Thanks for the positive comments,
To answer your questions,
1.They did sit still without any restraint, I was amazed, they first curled up like a circle and then relaxed within seconds, and they all just sat there, amazing little plecs..
2.Yes there are shrimp in with them.

The new substrate looks much better and the plecs are stunning!!

 

[Mooo]

Thanks again for the kind comments.
I took a few more after the water cleared up a bit more..
I put another hollow log in there also

The male in the cave has dug a huge hollow in the substrate, he must want it that way, lol, I have leveled it off twice now, I give up, he can have it that way..

Check out his hairy butt, my little boy has become a man )

They have chewed out that crevice in the wood, It wasn't that deep when I put it in there...

They seem to love the new log, It's hollow, with a few holes, they are all over it, I am seeing them even more than before now..
Oh and yes the Cherry Shrimp do breed in there )

Thanks C8lyn

The tank is a 70L, there are 4 Panaques in there, also Cherry Shrimp & Darwin Algae Shrimp..

Never seen any rough n tumble & I do see them all the time.:woohoo:

Cheers moo- am looking in getting some but can find no where in uk that has them. Only time will tell! I think that the black background really helps there fantatic colours standout! Respect
