Very nice tank! PLants look very healthy and colorful. Do you use CO2?

Only critisism i would say is i dont like the huge gravel on the right hand side..(i bet i will get loads of complaints now.)

Yes, that is a Dwarf Gourami.

Have never used "C02"

Most of the plants, came out of a local lake. Only the big one in back was purchased.

Hey, I said "good or bad"

Looks great... i actually quite like the pebbles at one side gives the bottom a bit more scope. Bet the fish love having more than one subtrate in there.

Wot are those little plants at the front?

I have no idea what any of the plants are. There are numerous lakes around where I live and they were picked out the lakes. Actually started out with just a couple of the plants and as they have grown, we have cut them off and replanted to what it is you see now

The plants were about, as you say, 2 or 3 feet out. There are so many small lakes around here.

And thanks for the compliments everyone!

nice tank. I like the stone/pebble set on the right. Sometimes the substrate kindof changes like that in streams and creeks, it looks natural. Those plants that you found in the lake suit your tank well. The driftwood could be off-center, only becuase it seems like it's the focal-point of the tank, and those tend to look good off center. Do you dose or add CO2? What are the tank specs?
