Well here goes.

I got my new Juwel tank a few months back now and have finally decided to get around to posting this. I will keep the intial post short and (hopefully) sweet so as not to bore you.

Planting:

Java Fern
Java Moss
Amazon Sword (Unsure of exact species)
Bacopa (Again, unsure of exact species)
Indian Fern

Stocking:

7 Harlequin Rasboras
4 Long-Fin Zebra Danio's
6 Bronze Corydoras
1 Kuhli Loach
3 Pearl Gourami's (1Male & 2Female)

Tank Now:

Tank at the start:

Inbetween:

Long-Term Plans:

Bridge decoration will be removed when i find a more subtle piece of cover for my cory's and future kuhli's
Bacopas will probably be removed as the way they look does not satisfy me
Filter will most likely be replaced with an external eventually


So far i am quite happy with how my tank has progressed, especially the indian ferns and moss, i will probably remove a few of the amazon swords to be put in another tank to allow for more growing room.
 
wohh them plants have gone crazy at the left. I'd be tempted to get a bigger piece of wood in replace of that bridge (bigger than the piece on the left. Maybe some carpeting plants around the wood on the left?
 
Well, it would appear i am truly awful at this whole 'keeping a journal' thing :p I will try to get some pictures later and will post some thoughts on my longterm plans.
 
Better late than never i guess:
