satchellwk Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 That's one awesome setup; I just love the natural look. It really reminds me of a forest floor. I have a question though; how extensively do they burrow? You have a lot of substrate there, do they utilize it all, or is it for other purposes, like plant roots or drainage?

slowfox64 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 I have so thick substrate for the nymphs, they dig down very deep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 god dam it now youre making me whan to set up a naturalistic tank, did you use layering for the substrate, drainage layer separated from the substrate with landscaping cloth or window screen?

slowfox64 Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 No, nothing like that at all, I just mixed peat, rotten wood and beech leaves, heating mat in the back right corner, then I put in large branches in the substrate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanchantress Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Absolutely beautiful set-up and the fresh molt photo will be a great entry for the calendar photo contest if we have it again next year! What did you just feed them to make them swarm like that? Mine are usually so shy I only see them around 11pm and they never gather around the food dish like that...

slowfox64 Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 I think it was apple and banana they had to eat and then they become crazy when they get flake food for aquarium fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
