My First Tank

[gayno]

Hi all,

Just thought I'd share the pictures of my fist tank setup that is currently cycling.

The tank is a Juwel Rekord 80.

I'm impressed for my first go, but is there anything I should improve/change?

Hi Adam,
Nice tank mate.
One criticism though. Your foreground plants are not true aquatic and will die off after a period of time so I would change those. Try some Hygrophilia Polysperma for background to middle it's a good all rounder.
Regards

Thanks for that BigC.

I would love some of the moss that pearls, think it looks brilliant! But I think I need a bit more bogwood to attach it to first!!

Looking good!!!

I'd get some rocks and pile them up somewhere. But that's just my personal taste!

What are you planning on putting in there?

I'm not sure yet.

Looking round the LFS today, I like the look of Kissing Gouramis, Bleeding Heart Tatras, and the girlfriend saw some African Dwarf Frogs and fell in love with them! [but they won't be coming until the tank is mature, no matter how much she begs!]

Maybe a Clown Plec too.

Also love Guppies!!

Gouramis are agressive, keep that in mind.
Now, were these gouramis Pink Kissing gouramis?
Because if they are, just be awear that they grow 12+ inches...
