What Kind of sand did you use?

Did the sand look dark to you when it was in the package, cause I like the color of your sand but when I picked up a bag of poolfilter sand it was dark.

Thanks very much Arctic!!

I gotta tell ya when I was setting this tank up I didn't think I had much of a shot and it looking natural - I guess that shows my decorating inexperience :lol:

I still have no idea what I want to keep in this tank - I've considered everything from Festae or Midas to Geophagus.

Also maybe a zonatus? Here I go again... :?

Please make some suggestions!

Green terrors would accent nicley in there. With Geophagus.

I think your orginal idea would be perfect ... a single pearsei/borcouti (sp.?)/or argentea mixed in with a pair of spilurus and a single robertsoni would give you a lot of color and movement. Could even add in another single central as well for a differant color, or even like a pair of firemouths for some red.

You could also go with a group of geophagus altifrons and some smaller south americans with them, they would love the sand of course. Stay away from satanoperca species if adding chocolates or green terrors though.

Alas, I know bocourti and pearsei are very mellow for their size, but most viejas are rough though they are usually rough towards members of their own family. Never had a tank big enough for them ... yet. :oops:

Might want to ask over in the Central area though. :thumb: Not everyone checks every area here.
