swopped fake plants for real ones

[George&Ade]

Hi.After many of you answered my questions about using real plants instead of fake ones......i decided to take the plunge (no pun intended there by the way)
I also added a "wall of bubbles" around the back of the tank.
Hope you like it
Oh.....changed the background to blue as well.
I love it

Wow, that's a beautiful tank! If I were a fishy, I would want to live there.

What size is it???

I nominate it for TOTM!

Great tank and nice pic, how many balloon mollie fry do you have?

 

[George&Ade]

Ive got 9 fry.......they are 13 days old.
As im a newbie to this.....i think i may have lost quite a few when they were born.
I was just sta there one night looking up at the top surface of the tank and noticed them.
Dont know how long they had been there.....but managed to save 9 of them.
To be perfectly honest with you.......i think i may take them to my local fish shop and exchange them for othe r adult fish when they are a little bit older.
Dont want to sound crude......but i dont like the way that the mother of these goes around and pooing.ALL the time.
EVERY time i look in the tank.........shes pooing
Its taken me a while to get this tank "stable" and i dont want to upsetr the balance now (off on holiday shortly too) so cant expect the neighbours to check water parameters and do regular water changes while im away
My local shop will take good care of them and find them a good home,and i can get a couple of nice fish when i come back.

Looks great although may I suggest burying the air tube so as to be more aesthetically pleasing.

Great job, G&A! Live plants are the best. You made the right decision.

I will second the TOTM nomination!

Thanks for the comments.
I did try the airline buried,but the bubbles just came out in a horrible "blobby mess".
Some were small........some were big........and there were no bubbles in places
