The tank is fluvial Roma 240 so I think its about 60 gallon I love the wood it looks awesome I want to stick some moss to parts of the wood do it grows around it and I haven't picked any plants yet still looking

 

[adammorrill]

Yah, I think it would look nice with moss on it and some plants surrounding it. You may want to get some crypts they are a great plant and IMO very hardy

 

[Holianl]

Yes I've just purchased some plants last night I will add some pictures later it really sets the tank off now

 

[adammorrill]

I bet it does, and post pictures when you can

[Holianl]

Hope you all like it any comments and tips would be great

[adammorrill]

Wow it looks awesome with all those plants in there and will look even better with some nice angelfish

 

[Holianl]

Thanks allot its always good when other people like it because it means I'm doing something write I'm planning on getting 2 platinum angels 2 black angels 2 albino bristle nose plecos and maybe some corys along the way that won't be any time soon tho hopefully get me angel fish within the next 3 weeks I can't wait

Nice tank, but FYI your fluval heater top part is supposed to be above the water!

 

[Philly33]

They are fully submersible

 

[Bbush]

Yeah, I have one too. Pretty decent heater. Mine fluctuates between 80 and 76 degrees. It works fine fully submersed. I think I might move mine up to the water line for aesthetics.

Hi all I lost 1 of my harlequins last night it was a surprise as I fed them for the first time last night and they all seemed happy eating the flake so don't really know what happened could it be a spike in the water?

I wouldn't do 4 angels in a 60

The guy in the aquarium recommended a 63 gallon could easy house 6 angels

JMHO I wouldn't
They get very aggressive during breeding
Will most likely make snacks of harlequins

i would get a school of 6 cory cats, some other type of tetra thats a good schooler. you could get more fish later on too.

I do like the albino corys you can hear them eating snails during the night as well I've heard
