Wow, i love the wood with the very short moss growing! Did you buy that or have you grown it yourself?
Your tank and its inhabitants look great! |

I think it's a type of hair algea, it grew there itself but I think it looks lovely! It hasn't spread or become a pest and the shrimp like to snack on it

Looking nice mate. As Ace said, love the shot of the Cory!
What are the Killifish like? I've got a second tank set up now and can get my hands on some exactly the same as yours and know that my gf likes them too which is a bonus! |

I've got a second tank set up now and can get my hands on some exactly the same as yours and know that my gf likes them too which is a bonus! Thanks Laffers They're nice little fish, and are often near the front off the aquarium which is always a bonus. As my mother pointed out the female's colouring is kind of 'drab', but the male's colours are interesting and make up for it! I hear they are easy to breed too so I recommend a pair (this is what I have). Another thing I'd say about these fish is that you don't want to keep them on their own as they tend to sit in one place for quite a while and do little. Some peaceful, non-boisterous tankmates such as corys, amano/cherry shrimp, apple snails or otoclincus would be a good choice because otherwise your tank may appear, at times, somewhat void of life! Keep them in a well planted tank with plenty of hiding places and floating plants and you will have success
