This is a video of my tank with juvenile Cichlids (F1 Redheaded Sevs, and Firemouths) as well as tetras, plecos, oto cats, cories, a swordtail... heavilly planted.

Actually This tank isn't running anymore and shortly after making this vid I removed the Tetras... I was going to replace them with larger hardier Congo Tetras but never got around to it. I've since gotten rid of all but one Firemouth.. The nicest :D

Ya C02 is a must in a tank this heavily planted. Infact it was a heavily planted tank for a year before I added the cichlids. I just sold all my plants, lights, and C02 and it's getting upgraded to a 180G tonight that will be lightly planted. No more big lights, C02, or fertilizer dosing :)

also what plants are these because i hear firemouths like to pull the roots of the plants up.

@klumsyninja how do you put CO2 in a fish tank i want to make a 50g heavily planted like this one and also i am going to have firemouths and probably convicts could you explain to me in a pm how to make a tank this heavily planted and how to dose it with fertilizer or whatever?

@klumsyninja What happened to the tank

[GR8Dame1]

beautiful tank did u plant seeds before adding the water or did u use growing plants?

I love this tank! :D

I have a question though, I want to plant my 75g, but not heavily like yours, but just like a couple (2-4) amazon swords and maybe a little hair grass here and there and driftwood with java mass on it.

How many watts would you recommend for this?

Thanks

Very nice tank!

Quick question; do your firemouths ever attack your tetras?

I have a 29 gallon tank with cories, guppies, mollies, and tetras and I need to know if a firemouth would be compatible?

Wow you sure studied a lot on plants. You use special lighting right?

And now I can see why you can put non aggressive with highly aggressive fishes :) it is so densely planted in the tank, that the fishes won't really want to fight right?
