P.S The tank is a rena aqualife 201cm width 70cm high 50cm depth, and they are Tin foil barbs, rather large ones at that!

You wait for people to nominate your tank if they feel it's worth it, you don't need to do anything yourself

Looks great! You may want to make the substrate a little deeper if your growing real plants.

Very nice tank! Those parrots are HUGE! I'll back up that nom, even though it really dosen't need it.

Can't wait to see the updated pics!

Thanks for your comments, the parrots are terrible with the sand they, suck it in and move it into little sand mountains, where there den is there's hardly any sand, as fast as we move it back they shovel it all out again!!!

we are on the look out for plants that the barbs wont eat, we must have spent a fortune on plants, but within a day of putting them in they are all eaten!! little buggers!!! any suggestions its a big problem!!!!

My barbs don't eat the plants in my 4ft tank. I have a few in there (not sure of names at mo, could find out if you like) but one of them is my favourite. Vallis. Genius plant!! Grows like nothing on earth (including making new plants) and looks great IMO!

Thanks for your reply, would really appreciate it if you could find out the name, or maybe post a pic, so we can try and identify them.
