All live plants...

Tank contain 9x Breeding WC Moba Frontosa, 26+ Clown Loaches, 4 Uara, Albino Gibber, Albino Chinese Algae Eater, Pair Yellow Calvus and 10 Veilfin Angels.

2 x FX5 and 2 x AC110, All the filter media contain nothing but craft cotton. No bioball no nothing. 6' single lamp T8 13K Light on a timer. Light turn on from 6am - 11:30pm

I do "extreme" water change weekly (95% WC) and only feed them 4 tsp twice/wkly (Monday and Thurs) Sergerion Pellets and 7 shrimp every Sat. I try to keep my hand out the tank unless I really really need to.

And here they are.............

Wow, very interesting tank. The angels have the longest ventrals I've ever seen.
You have some of my favorite fish! Wondering what the tank size is?

The Fronts dont mess with the angels. I have tried different combination of fish. So far, i Sees angels, calvus, african cichlid work best. The only fish that dig my plant was those african cichlid, which are no longer in my tank.

Depending how big the danios are, they will more than likely be snacks before long. The fronts may not pursue them during the day with the lights on but they will at night. I had demasoni and electric blues that were "mysteriously" dying overnight and could not figure what was getting them at first...they were housed with a lone 6" front.

The mix of colours is great, and the sedate swimming of the Fronts (and my gods, you have a big boy there) in the middle and top of the tank, and then the frenetic activity of the clowns has combined to create a great tank.
Thanks for sharing it, and keep us posted for any new videos please.

Wow I have to say that I really like this setup. I am a big fan of simple effectiveness. The fish look great and meld with that whole setup well. Great job!

Those danio have been in there for awhile. I use to have neon too, but the uara ate them :( I plan to add 4 x danio and some fish with color that are surface swimmer, but i havent find the right fish yet. I am waiting for petsmart to have their monthly $1 sale. btw, the front does not like bright red or orange fishy except the clown loaches. They eat those :)

My front are lazy swimmer, they just sedate all the time. Even too lazy to eat. I only feed the front once a week, 4tsp for all 13 moba. I feed the angels everyday one pinch of flake.

Thanks, I plans to get a 300gallon 96" x 28". I want to do a big big display with various of fish. Plans to have 1/4 empty sand, 1/4 glass land scene, 1/4 faded drift wood, 1/4 lava rock as you see.

School of danio, school of tetris, school of archers and butterfly, guppys, reef africans and what in the current tank :)
