Here's my 20 gal tank with mixed tiger Barb's, Rainbow Shark, Bn Pleco and corries. I keep playing with the setup because I get bored of the look quite quickly.lol

Like the plants!!! What type are the longer skinny ones?? Those look so sick spread out like that!!!
 
it looks good,but the shark needs at least a 55 gallon tank
 
The tank looks nice, but the shark doesn't belong in there, BN pleco you might get away with it. The setup looks nice though, white sand brings out colors
 
Cheers for all your input and it's a 29 gal I put 20 by mistake. I know it's still not big enough for the Shark and border line for the BN but I will be upgrading in the near future as I'm addicted so want something a lot bigger.lol Im not sure what type of plant it is as it wasn't labeled. It just looked like long grass bunched up when I got it so I split it up and it keeps sprouting up everywhere now :)
 
It looks nice. I hope you get your bigger tank soon though before your shark gets nasty. What are you upgrading to? I like your plants.
 
I know its about the fish, but i love the small foot over bridge. Classy.
 
Hi i haven't checked this for a while cheers for the posts. I still haven't upgraded as i dont have the time or space at the moment so instead i've change the stocking. I have rehomed the rainbow shark and tiger barbs into my mates 100 gal (the rainbow was growing fast) then have gradually got some replacements :) my stocking list is now

Sterbai Cory's
Bn Pleco
Angel Fish
Dwarf Gourami
Zebra Danio's
Pair of German Blue Rams

I have also upgraded the filter to a 205 external which seems to be doing a great job and always keep up on my pwc

Here's some pic's hope you like :)

They may look good now as babies, but that angel will grow far too big for that tank. Let alone they get 6-8in long and about 12-18in high. Just a comparison in my 29 i have a dwarf gourami, 8 cardinal tetras, clown pleco, and 3 julii cories. not overstocked and looks great! And the rams and angel are cichlids so im not sure on aggression either, i would rehome the angel and choose between the gourami and the ram pair. then just get some schooling fish and bottom feeders and your set! The tank looks nice, but some of the fish dont belong.
