im not really a fan of small fish but i do like this! i like the way you have lots of plants but still quite abit of swimming space in front of the plants.

What is the big plant in the right corner? Looks like a water lily....It's beautiful! I'd love one in my new planted tank

Thanks, I also like a lot of space up front for the corrys to swim and my Loaches Otherwise they would be hidden all the time.
Actually thinking about spreading the HC a little more in one of the corners. Will have to wait and see.

Thanks for the comments guys

nice tank, love the betta, how does he get on with the other fish?

The betta is a little territorial, but only chases the rainbows about for a little, they are too fast for him so he quickly gives up, haven't seen any masks on them, they been together now for about 10 months.
