How many of you Remember this tank, Managed to salvage these pix.

This is the little tank that got me hooked on Aquascaping.
The Tank, Hood, Filter, Light Unit, Bulbs and Gravel Cost £5 from the Car Boot/Flea Market all those years ago.

Really Enjoyed this tank, Can't remember why I took it down.

My Stocking was Diabolicle.
Angels, Rams, Honey Gouramis, Bettas, Minnows, 2 BN's, Banjo Cats, Kuhlis, RummyNose, Glass Cats, Guppies, neons, GlowLights, in a 10G
 
Lol, when I read the list in the op, I burst out laughing at the fact this was a real stocking lol. I can imagine it now... rams and angels and neons and glowlights all getting along fine with th betta... :lol:
 
God I Know, Thinking back to the way I stocked some of my Tanks back then. It was terrible, but never suffered any real losses.

I bet it was awesome to have all those colourful fish constantly on display. By which I mean in my tank my fish have places to hide and things and lots of space to go around out of your line of sight.

Overstock, shmoverstock. The combination was probably off, but Planted tanks offer a lot of leeway with regard to stocking. It's not unusual to have 20g with 40-50 small fish in it.

I remember the tank. I guess I must be as old as you, Gill. :lol:

40-50 very small, slim-bodied fish and don't tell anyone out of this section that I say this. :shifty:

Very nice Gill, i like tanks which are simple, and still have an aquascaping feel to them.
