Added tall plants in back during the cycle.
Finished cycling and added my first fish..... 6 Harlequin Rasboras.
I have to add some smaller plants and maybe some Java Moss...and probably the Emperor Tetras next.

Close-up of one of the Rasboras:

Thank you stang! It took me awhile until I got the hang of snapping a decent pic. And the fish weren't interested to stop swimming and pose....

Well....my tank was ready for the next group of fish.....went to the LFS today and changed my mind about the Emperor Tetras. After much deliberation, I moved Rummy-Nose Tetras back onto my list to replace the Emperors. They are now acclimated in the tank and hanging out a bit with the Harlequins....kind of semi-schoaling...it's kinda cool.

Here are the Rummy-Nose Tetras:

NOOOOO!!! lol sorry coudent resist :shifty:

. Rummy-noses are a very cool tetra, they look great at adult size in a tank like yours. They compliment the harlequins better than Emperors would. More pics soon lol?

Hey severum boy.....thanks, I guess.....just kidding
I'll post some more pictures soon.....the Tetras have been in the tank for about 5 hours now and are pretty active. It's strange, they shoal with each other a bit and also one or two will join each others' shoals. I guess they are getting along well!
