Tank So Far! (Pic Heavy)

[scentless]

This is my new tank (ebay special!). It is nowhere near finished. There is loads more I want to do to it. Firstly I want to get rid of those horrid ornaments and get some nice natural rocks but until I sort that out i'm going to leave the dreaded castle and sunken ship in because my fish like to hide in them. I also want to get a background to hide those unsightly wires (any recommendations?)

Also, had my first batch of guppy fry today!

All comments and ideas much appreciated. Also if anyone can tell me anything about any of the plants, that'd be great!

It's looking good. <img src="http/www.fishforums.net/public/style_emoticons/default/good.gif"> I might have used sand for the cories, but it's fine.<br><br>Are you going to use a background?

Yeah i'm going to change to sand. At the moment it's an undergravel filter though. My new filter is on order so i'm going to leave them both running simultaneously for 6 weeks or so and then switch the gravel to sand. I think i'm going to go with dark sand so the albino cory's stand out <3

Hi
Where can you buy the black fleece fabric from
and how do you attach it to tank?

I just bought mine at the fabric store, and attached it with tape. If you do it carefully you don't even see the tape (much)!
