    Default My NEW 22 gallon long set up.

    Before it was a african cichlid yellow lab and demasoni grow out tank.

    Finally I've decided to make it in to a L144 blue/black eyed pleco tank. With Neon tetras and a few peppered cories. Also I put dwarf baby tear plant in the sand to add somewhat some greenary to the tank. Any advice on how to make the setup look better would be much appreciated

    ALSO LOOKING FOR A FEW MORE L144 PAIRS

    Now houses:

    L144 breeding pair
    20 Neon Tetras
    3 Peppered Cories.

    Now the pics of the L144 pair

    Too bad it's hard to see the Bristles of the male. Very hard to take a picture of it with a bad camera and when he's under the wood

    Thank you. Yeah I got the pair from Patrick actually. The L144s are with Patrick not Charles . Are you looking for a pair also? If so, maybe we could ask him to bring more . I would love to add a few more with the pair.

    Any reason the waterline is so low? Since it's already a small tank, by having the water down that low, you lose at least another 2 gallons.

    I agree with 2wheelsX2 that water level seems low,I would fill it to the top to give you a full capacity. Looking good so far Clint.

    To add some more colour you could add some pellia, anubias and java fern. For red you could add a tiger lotus, Otherwise off to a great start!

    It was full before. I set up the canister filter which sucked water to the canister filter which then dropped the water level low like that. I just didnt top it off before the picture
