OK so I have decided to switch back to a blackwater amazon biotope after having one previously which slowly transformed to a clear water planted community setup.
This is the setup I used to have:
I have since got rid of the driftwood and will be using oak branches instead with leaf litter and alder cones.
The plants I have available to choose from are amazon swords, dwarf hairgrass, dwarf sag and bacopa monnieri. Current fish are 1x adult male Cacatuoides, 2 x female Cacatuoides juveniles, 5x black skirt tetras, 5 x black neons, 6 x glowlight tetras.
Am aware that all the fish are listed as south american but am curious as to which you think would fit a 'true' Cacatuoides biotope? I'm not interested in breeding any more cacs so not worried about the tetras poaching fry.
Similarly with the plants, all seem to be described as south american but would like to know which, if any, would fit the biotope. I will be ordering some frogbit also.
Any thoughts appreciated
