    Young Clown loaches with tiger barbs

    Ill have a look on there, what about a couple of angels? I've no experience of them though so unsure about compatability or requirements. Half the problem is finding fish where I live, all the local pet shops don't stock a lot of the fish that I see on here and the Internet :(

    Young Clown loaches with tiger barbs

    I don't think I could find room for a tank that size :) I suppose it would take a lot of years for them to reach full size but it might cause them problems along the way. I'd just like a couple of bigger fish to fill my tank out a bit but ones that won't outgrow the tank. (It's 45 us gal)

    T5 tubes, what is ho

    I just googled the kelvin of my tubes and found that the nature tube has a kelvin of 4100 and the day tube has a kelvin of 9000. So if I swapped both my tubes to the 9000 kelvin would this be better for plant growth?

    Is planting substrate essential or will gravel do?

    It must make a difference then, however I'm not fussed for fast growth as long as the plants are healthy

    Is planting substrate essential or will gravel do?

    So I'm looking to add quite a lot more plants to my tank and I'm wanting to put them all along the back half of the tank to make a bit of a forest type look I guess with some bogwood aswell. I currently have a fine gravel in there so I'm hoping to keep that. Will the plants do ok if I don't...
