Hi Chetana, Ravi.
Welcome to IAH.
Chetana, not all the blue and red tetras you have (had) are cardinals. I could count at least about 18 neon tetras there. I was surprised that you didn't mention them in your list.
Neon tetras have only the rear quarters red whereas in the cardinals, the red is extended all the way up to the mouth. |

@ Ravi
Thanks
@ Suraj
I had a whole lot of cardinal lot along with a good bunch of neon tetras during the initial set up, but now in the recent tank update there are not more than 4-5 neons only.
I missed to mention them in the first tank photo
Thanks for highlighting the difference between Cardinal and neon tetra.
One more shot of side view of my tank with current inmates:
Regards
Chetana |

Two weeks back, I graduated to the pressurized CO2 setup, thanks to Seetharam
Cylinder connected through Dual-gauge Regulator & ADA needle valve
Bubble counter
CO2 diffuser
After an SOS Aqua Engineer (Rasika Nayak) came to the rescue of fine tuning the setup

Hi Chandrakala,
Nice tank. I was wondering if you could PM me the details of the cost and where you bought this light fixture in bangalore?
Regards,
Sanjay. |

Few updates:
The CO2 cylinder started malfunctioning and I had to go in for a new ADA setup, thanks to Adip
The planted tank without CO2 for nearly 2 months now, hope it picks up soon
