My latest tank

[heresmike]

Hi! I thought I'd offer you all a peek inside my latest tank. All the plants are real, the driftwood came from a nearby river, and the rocks came out of my back yard.

And yes, there are fish in there! Note the two angels left and center. Also, the blurs in the back are harlequin rasboras. Hyper little buggers!

Anyhoo, here it is!

Very nice

Those angels are good at camoflaging aren't they?! I wouldn't have noticed them had you not pointed them out.

[heresmike]

Thanks for the compliments Miss Cheese, sasha, jams, and vantgE! Keep 'em coming! hehehe

see the tall plant to the left of the tank, any name for it?

It's actually 3 clumps of the same type of plant, and I've named them Larry, Moe, and Curly. OK... bad humor. Quite seriously now, it's hygrophilia polysperma, aka Tropic Sunset hygrophilia. I thought it was just my imagination that it's grown 6 inches in the last 2 weeks. It's such a nice change of pace to have plants actually grow instead of turn brown and rot away!!

Thanks! This is the only one so far that I feel is post worthy. The others need work... and I best be getting to it!!

What size tank is it? I'd like to see it in the TOTM competition. A nicely planted tank is such a beautiful thing, can even compare to a reef tank if you are lucky!

Thanks again everybody! )

Thanks ALASKA! Do you really think it's good enough to compete for TOTM?? It's a 26 gallon, so according to the pinned TOTM rules, that would be in the small TOTM. Or don't they do it that way? ... 'cuz I don't see a "small TOTM for May" thread.
