My Tropical 40 Gal

[SimoUK]

hi guys not done this yet so i thought id post a couple of piccys of my 40 gal

Filstar XP2, claims to be for a 75 gallon tank, so if this is true then it is overpowered.

It has 2 live plants and the rest are plastic

2 Angelfish (which are quite old) 1 M 1 F which are paired, they have spawned around 2 weeks ago but i have no spair tanks so the eggs diddnt make it.
1 Panda Garra (he is awesome, only when he wants to show himself though )
4 Corydoras ( 1 bronze)
4 Cardinal Tetra
3 Black Widow Skirt Tetra
7 Penguin Tetra
7 Cherry Barb

I was also looking to get a mossy type of plant to grow on the plane wreck in the middle, i thought this would blend it in more (could anybody reccomend any?)

I also need to get a new background for the tank, as the one i have now is weird

Also, sorry for the crap picture quality, photos were taken on my phone







Also thanks for all the help this forum has given me, i wouldnt have any fish alive if i had'nt asked you guys about so many things, Keep it up

most any of the anubia plants will grow on structures and also java moss

Nicely done, I was looking at similar plane/ship wrecks for mine, but one that size would engulf my 30g!

Flame moss would look killer on the plane wreck, even though I am not too fond of it, In think I t would make it look better, and I love the plants, they all look real.

Hey guys, thanks for the great comments

Since i have had it like this i have not at all liked the gaping hole in the middle of the tank next to the plane wreck, so i decided to change a few things around, IMO it looks better but what do you guys think?

This is how it turned out:
