1st day planting. Not looking great yet,just wanted to get the plants in fast,they were in sorting office and was worried about the temperature.

Looking good ... is that a group of tetra at the bottom right?

Thanks Yeah a group of 10 green neons,mental little buggers! lol

edit...may be a tip that others know,but I just found out the hard way,aquaclear powerheads on reverse flow and guppies DON'T mix! One minced up guppie

 

[SchottayB]

Ouch!

The Tetra do look good in there, i'd get more if I had that much room and possibly a group of Harlequin Rasbora

Looks great, love the dark substrate .

Remember to remove all the plants weights/foam and separate them all out around the tank to get them to grow properly .

Thanks,I love dark sub,its a mix of black roman gravel and black sand.No foam,but the stems have got lead for a few days until they settle,the cabomba is already showing a bit of growth,after a day

Saw these Emerald eye rasboras when I went for Pearl gourammis (pic to follow when they settle in)

Also had a few little shrimp hitchhikers red cherry and tiger I think (pics of those when I spot the little bleeders lol)

 

[BackToTheFishes]

My first real attempt at aquascaping,tips and advice will be welcomed
Looks a little bare at the front,moss on order,and I'm hoping the swords will fill out the left side.

Looks good, but I would hide that heater! It doesn't have to be in the middle of the tank, you can push it down behind the plants. Heat rises

 

[BackToTheFishes]

Yeah I guess I'm old fashioned on the heater,was always "Put it as centrally as possible" lol
I'll get on that later,it seems to be playtime in there at the mo , even the miserable pearl gouramis are joining in lmao

 

[BackToTheFishes]

Coconut shell caves and moss added

 

[bubble87]

[drobbyb]

[BackToTheFishes]

Thanks,its getting there,I'm close to being almost thinking about maybe being happy with it

Latest additions,4 Angels and an African knife,will be rehomed in the BIG tank when needed
