Hi thought id share my l080 set up.

Tank standard 3x2x2 ft.
Equipment canister filter 2 x sponge filters and internal filter 300 watt heater.
Temp 26-28c (around 80f)
Parameters - PH 6.8, Nitrate 20, Amonia 0, that's all i test for.
Food - Zucchini, Seraflake, Algae Wafers, Frozen Brine Shrimp, Shrimp Pellets and Carnivour Wafers and occasionally pumpkin.
I've had these guys for about 3 1/2 years, i started off with 7, 3 males, 4 females, bred at about 2 years of age, all i do to get them to breed is have plenty of wood and caves etc to hide in.
Water changes - 20 % every 2 - 3 days, sometimes 2 - 4 if i get lazy. I match temp. of water that i'm changing so i don't shock fish.
Feeding - I feed zucchini every night plus flake, all the other foods mentioned on occasion, but i find zucchini always gets eaten first. Hope this helps.
