Very nice. How about a full tank shot.

Thank you. I'll try to get a full tank shot this evening. I've huge windows on the other side of the room & unless it's dark you get terrible reflections!!

your shark looks awesome.

Cheers. He's a very inquisitive little thing. I've got a Red Tail Shark in my other tank. He's just as beautiful, only considerably easier going :)

A few new pics....

The tank is very much a work in progress, I have a lovely piece of driftwood for the centre, but it's still leaching tannins (badly!)

Very nice looking tank! Fish look great.

However, it appears you have at least 1 non-aquatic plant in there. The plant on the right side looks to be Ophiopogon japonica, which is a terrestrial or bog plant. Judging by the coloration, it looks like it isn't going to last a whole lot longer. It would be best to pull it out.

Thanks. I need to look into my plants. It's been in there for about 6 weeks, but it is splitting on the ends of the leaves. It was bought in good faith from my LFS, but my plant knowledge is something I really need to work on! Most of the discolouration is brown algae, which wipes off. I think I may order online for m plants, so I know exactly what I'm getting.

Okay why did you put potatoes in there. ; b. I'm just kidding it looks good but those rocks kinda look like potatoes.

Nice shots. SLR camera?

Thanks. Yeah, they were taken with a Sony DSLR. It would've been much easier if the fish didn't keep moving lol :)

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong!! you're right though, they do sorta look like potatoes!

It looks great. Nice tank. And nice pic. I know what you mean about taking pics of fish. My problem is the focus. It always focuses on other items.

Wow those are really great photos and awesome thanks for sharing.

Thank you. Once my terrible algae outbreak is back under control, I hope to be able to get some new shots up on the site. At the moment it's like 'pea soup'!
 
New planting added tonight & non aquatic plant has been removed. Fish seem to love the new plants! Excuse the quality of the photos (iPhone, not SLR!)
