Did you get that formation to the right from petco or petsmart. I feel like I saw it there and wasn't sure how I felt about it but it looks good. Nice tank

Looks great! I love how you attached live plants to the rock decoration! It adds a lot more realism to it, which is nice.

Your tank looks nice, but it's really not big enough for rainbow sharks. Those fish need 55 gallons minimum...

I picked it up from PetSmart. At first I had it sitting flat, like it was on the shelf. I was moving some stuff around and sat it on end so I could maneuver things around and it surprised me how much better it looked. I decided it needed to stay that way since it gave me more and better places to place the plants.

Thanks! Since I started using live plants I just can't make myself put the plastic ones in. They just look too phony. I guess I'm spoiled... LOL

Thanks! Yeah, I'm thinking ther same thing. The jade tigers came from my son's tank. He has parrot fish and they were tearing them up. I'm thinking of trading the rainbows back to my son who is setting up a 55 gallon tank and going with some type of catfish. I haven't decided what kind yet.

Yeah, I'm thinking of giving them to my son who is setting up a 55. But they do look cool for now...

Or maybe I can con the wife into a 75 (can't let the son outdo me, can I?)

O ok. That's cool then. If it's temporary it should be fine. Catfish? Oo Cory and ottos! I love ottos they are so cool! They are one of the best algae eater too!

That's cool. =] Yeah, a 75 would be ideal for one of those. And then you could have more medium-sized fish, too.

I totally forgot about the ottos. duh

I love them too. I have a couple in my 20g. I'm glad you reminded me! Thanks!

Looks great, I was thinking about doing something close to that with my 29g.
