My Small Wild Amazon

[Mapet]

Hi Mapet, this is simply beautiful. Your browns are amazing. How are the L168's doing? I couldn't see them in the video. Are they still being shy? And do they assist in keeping things free of algea and slime? Just wondered as I was thinking of getting a few.
Thanks

Thank You.
I got L-333. They are ok, yes they still shy i don't think so this can change.
No they not assist, they eat meat. On this fish this it's unique, if You can see them, You are happy.
I clean glass one time per two weeks. I got only brown algae, but discus sometimes eat them so i don't care.

Seems like there could be a pair forming. Beautiful fish and tank.

Thak You. I think so too, jagged and the largest
Once clean the root, once clean plate.

Yours wild browns are awesome....

Thank you, but you're doing a lot better pictures.

Thank You everybody.

HI Mapet
Really nice setup, congratulations. For me those are red Alenquers, not greens as other people said.

two questions, Is that background inside our outside the aquarium ? Why did u picked a canister filter instead of a sump for this build ?

Best,

beautiful fish Mapet. A perfect tank!

Look at the individual pattern in the anal fins and spots on the body. You can clearly see two wild greens among the alenquers.

Thank Ferdo, my thoughts too.

Kira, He's right.

On the outside, I did it myself. I have a photo somewhere, step by step...

I do not need in this aquarium sump, two of these filters are sufficient for biological filtration.
