Very nice set up Polkadot, Have you had any luck with them yet?
The caves on the LHS of the picture, what are they made out of?

Hi doctorweb,
I had them around 2-3 months, have been "renovating" the tank so often that I think I've spoilt their desire to breed if any!
Those "caves" on the RHS are made from clay, got them from the plant nursery.

Wow...the setup looks great!, How many L046s are there? What's the exact size of your tank?

Hi, well I saw that you are using the powerd head suction without nothing in that part.. How can you avoid that one of your loricarid can be caughted for this powerful part of the power head?? or What would your recommend for someone of us..?? Because is really interesting that I could have this powerful current in the tank. Or Is it really dangerous..??
.
Sorry for lot´s of questions..
Thanks in advance.

Hi Pleco33, the suction part of the powerhead are too small to cause any damage to a pleco. Unless its a half-death pleco or a baby fry, it'll be safe for now!

I used to do this. Its becuase the wood still floats if unburdened - it's a good idea until they fall off! Better to tie them to rocks.
Now my question. Why use bogwood when very little of it exists in the zebra's natural habitat? Is it for cosmetic reasons?

Yah, those rocks are there to hold on to the floating woods.
Jools, I could find enough big rocks / slates to design that biotope for the L046.

Noticed in the first picture, that there is another plec in one of the upturned pots. Just out of curiosity what is it?

is the water passing through an eheim canister and then into the trickle chambers on top of the tank? if so, nice set-up!
