Second Planted Aquarium

[Floyds mum]

As the above says im in the process of getting a planted aquarium, they look soo much better than other set ups.
Im just wanting peoples opinions on it so far, i know it will need a while for the plants to "settle" and grow abit, ive only just added plants today.

The first 2 pics are of my new guppies i got today, one is 75% bright orange and the other has a white pearly body and a orange tail, sorry for pic quality.

Only pleasant comments or positive criticism please NO rude or nasty comments.
Tank in qu is the horizon 60.

Both are in pic the plain orange one is behind the pearly orange one.

Lovely Guppies,
i would first say add a blue or other dark background to the tank, this will bring out the plants better.
Also you will need way more plants than that if you want a 'planted tank'

OK, cool

Tank looks good so far, will look even better once plants are in.
May i reccomend the Plants Alive 24" collection, its £10 incl. P&P i think. It will look fab!

They wasn't when i first viewed it lol

Tank looks nice, more plants like betta_246 mentioned and once filled out should look good, what sort of lighting is above the tank... IE wattage etc, looks to be quite high lite so ferts maybe the way to go to maximise some of that growth.

No, i used it for my community tank, there just right!

If they do go wild, you can make a tidy profit! ££££££

Getting close up shots of fish is so hard! From the tank shot, they look very cute. Tank looks great so far. How many gallons is it?
