Re: [GSAS-Member] Seeking Low Light Plants

Yeah....my pair of 65w Coralife bulbs seems to scare the hell out of the
Clowns when they come on and they hide til they go off.  Well, they hide all
the time except first thing in the morning before the lights are on when
they get morning light and I am not moving around yet.  It is actually a
true morning joy for me to watch them doing their morning Loachy Dance from
my bed first thing.  It definitely makes the morning a bit more pleasant.

I do think I will have to drop the light though for them to be optimally
happy which is my goal.

Still seeking plants.....

Shango,

I am not sure that is necessary.  If your plants heavily populate your
tank to where little light reaches the bottom and there is room for the
loaches to move around under them, the light above is pretty well
filtered out by the time it hits bottom I would imagine.  That being
said, my 100 gallon tank is populated with only two or three types of
anubias and has one 40 Watt flourescent bulb burning above it. It is a
rather dark tank.

Hello All,

 

So with the new information I have received on Clown Loaches, I am going
to switch to a low light system for their tank.  I know the plants I
have in there will need to be moved because they are all high light.  I
am seeking donations of low light plants that you may have growing out
of control.  I am hoping to get some trimmings from folks at the picnic.
If you have a bounty of low light plants that you just trim and throw
away, let me know.
I don't have much to trade at this point unless you want some of these
here pushy Trumpet Snails.

 

Thanks

Shango
