Laguna Lachuá: Rocky Shore

Hello
I am working on a Laguna Lachuá inspired aquarium.

Tank size:
260x75x60 cm

Fish list:
Oscura heterospila
Vieja melanura
Thorichthys meeki

Xiphophorus helleri (I will add them as a group soon)

Some pictures:

Could you give the parameter of your pictures (focal, iso, etc.) ?
Could you make a global picture of the tank to give us a global idea of your installation ?

Xyphophorus in this context will only act as a decoration. Because no birth will be possible. I don't have good experience of maintening Xypho with Cichlids. Not the same need.

I made most pictures wit a 55mm lens, ISO 100 or 200, F around 10. But every picture is different, I don't use always the same parameters.

Unfortunately I can't make a global picture at this moment, because there is not enough room to fit the whole tank in one picture.

I have good experience with Xiphophorus helleri with cichlids. I have a group of wild form Xiphophorus swimming in a grow out tank. When they are big enough I will add them to the large tank. Birth is not possible, but in the past I found many fry of Xiphophorus in my sump.

La laguna ciblée par notre aimable visiteur se trouve au Guatemala au bord du rio Usumacinta avant qu'il ne devienne la frontière entre le Guatemala et le Mexique.
