Von Rio Tetras

The “Swamp” tank is undergoing some long overdue pruning. The Jungle Vallisneria had grown much too tall for this tank so I decided to trim each of the longer leaves to around 2 feet, long enough so that they still float on the surface a little. The longest leaf measured in at 6 feet from tip to gravel before being trimmed.

The heater in this tank, a 100W Rena Cal Top Light, has been replaced with a 150W Visi-Therm Stealth Heater. The Rena Cal didn’t seem to be maintaining the temperature I was after when the house cooled down at night.

The photo above shows one of the many gorgeous Von Rio Tetras that call this aquarium home.
