Thanks everyone

The corys are loving the new nooks & crannies to investigate The pandas even laid a few eggs

Thanks for the suggestion stu40,i will have a play later

Thats the main thing, they must love it hows the other panda fry doing?

 

[Harlequins]

They're doing great thanks,growing and looking more like pandas every day,i'm so hoping these make it,never had success with panda fry in the past.

Awe thats a shame,i've read a few times that pandas are more sensitive than others.When i can get a reasonable pic of panda babes i'll post it in cory bit

Heres another update,although not a good pic,i've taken out the artificial log and replaced with pebbles to add a bit of texture & colour,i have put some bogwood on top for a hidey hole,but unsure on this yet.

I've hidden the airline after this pic was taken

Looks a treat, and glad the cories love it I do think using realistic decorations makes a whole lot of difference to the general look of things.
Are those bits of wood with the plants growing on them real? I have seen similar stuff here but it's just fake leaves on a piece of wood. I'd love some natural bits of wood with plants on them.

Yes they are
If you get rocks or some kind of wood, you can either glue (using cyanoacrylate) or tie plants onto them. Good beginners plants that like to be on wood/rocks are anubias, java fern and mosses like java moss or christmas moss. There are other plants but they are less common.

Looks good Harlequins

Apart from the large branch thing on the end,all the bogwood and front plants are live,the anubias on the branch was slotted into a hole in the branch ,the large bogwood in the centre & smaller pieces have java fern & anubias tied to them with invisable thread.
Also planted crypt plants around,yesterday i bought pebbles which are designed for a biorb along with some bbs,the pebbles should have cost me £5.99 but i didn't realise until after i left she only charged me £2.50 bargain

The only silk plants in there now are hanging ones and a few at the back.

I'm impressed with the large bogwood from P@H,cost me £5,and apart from a days soaking in hot water and numerous changes which i did have some tannins out of it,it hasn't really leeched anything in the tank
