Well, for being only half planted i think it looks pretty good. You can tell i ran out of funds to pay for plants, lol. Hoepfully my christmas money will let me finish stocking, and then getsome more plants.

The tank is 50gal, low-med low light.

Hope you like the pics....

I agree, VERY nice start. I like the fact that you put crypts in between the rocks,when they grow in it'll look amazing.Keep up the good work.

Very nice Waterpond! I got a nice gift certificate from BA, going there today. Not sure what I'm going to pick up, maybe a bigger tank!
In the spring I can help you plant that tank, I have tons of stuff.

Glenc wants to help me plant my tank i feel so honoured...lol

I went to my LFS today and got something i have wanted for a very long time, a pair of GBRs, i didnt plan on getting any, but when i got there, they had them in with demasoni cichlids and the two left (luckily male and female) looks so beaten up, my heart broke, so i bought them for 6 bucks each. Then i bought i HUGE, and i mean HUGE anubias nana petite plant. It is so nice. I have some pics of the new fish and plants. THe only plant i really love in the aquarium is the asian ambulia and the hygro polysperma, they both are just going wild!


New crypts(i think) anybody know what kind they are?


The massive Anubias nana Petite (hey, thats an oxymoron)... i had a nice chat with the LFS manager, and he gave me this for three bucks! Thats not all of it either, some cuttings went into my other tanks


just so you can see it in comparison to the tank and the other plants


The GBR i beleive to be male (you cant tell very well because it has alot of nips out of the fins


female, i think:


sorry the pics suck, i am still getting used to my new camera.

This is just a pic that i liked. The rams had awsome colour in the store, but are a little stessed ATM, so the should colour up again soon. They seem to be doing pretty well so far.



Now all i want is a farowella, a shoal of julii cories, and maybe another school of tetras, probably neons.

Thanks for reading everyone, hope you enjoyed the pics.

Tank is looking good. The anubias look especially healthy (you may need to rename them...perhaps anubias nana gigantia?).

I will have some more pics tomorrow, i will try to take some tonight at feeding time.
