A RIVER TANK

chris02_84 · April 16th, 2006

it's only a ten gallon so i thought only one powerhead would be sufficient.* This took me two hours to do...at first i had it going in the back and in the front of the tank...but i said f*** it.* this was easier to do....i keep posting pics of my progress!

Looking good! What are you going to put in there? Research your loaches welll, some like current more than others.

Wow - nice job dude! Great pics.

chris02_84 · April 19th, 2006

any suggestions on what i should put in there? it's a ten gallon so.....

Janmitch22 · April 19th, 2006

Some high current fish.* The current in that ten-gallon will be going every which way...make sure you provide a cave or something where they can escape the movement for a while. That is a really good job of it...are you going to get something bigger and do the same thing, like with a 150 gallon? That's what I want to do.

chris02_84 · April 19th, 2006

i would like to..but i don't think i could ever afford that...and if i could afford a 150 gallon tank i would make a reef tank!

i bought a sponge and a Cap for the pipe intake yesterday so it is complete!

i added 2 yoyo loaches to my river tank today. They love it!

Butterfly · May 7th, 2006

I bet they do!! They are so cute!! (you do know they will outgrow the 10G, right?)

i did some research and they grow up to 4 inches....right? that's why i got them

Butterfly · May 10th, 2006

Heres a good profile for your yoyos-http://www.thetropicaltank.co.uk/Fishindx/pakloach.htm
When i said they would outgrow the tank I was reading cm(centimeters) instead of inches

They need caves to sleep/play in and may eventually need a bigger tank.
