My new Juwel Vision 260ltr!

[qwaz01]

Just moved into my new house and purchased my first fish tank for 8 years. It has been running for 2 weeks and currently has a sand base with pebbles/stones, a large rock with holes, and two smashed plant pots covered with Homebase BBQ lava rock.

Juwel Vision 260ltr containing:

6 Penguin Tetra
1 Dalmation Molly
1 Orange Molly
3 Pearl Gourami

My plans for the next few weeks are more plants and more fish!

Great tank. I never thought about pots wedged in with rocks. That looks great.

cool looking tank, I like the rock/plant potters look, very cool design

 

[Bubble_B0y]

wow!
that's pretty - can't wait to see the finished design.

The fish will be so happy there.

Cheers for the feedback!
Im going to leave the tank for another week or so and then buy some more tall plants for the back, some java moss to hopefully cover some of the lava rock and some smaller plants for the front. I then hope to buy some more fish, i currently thinking about a pair of Kribs/Rams for the caves, some Corries for the bottom and some Neon/Cardinals.

*Update*

Got home tonight to find one of my Pearl Gourami's missing. Three of us have search the entire tank and surroundings but still cannot locate the fish or its body .

Good news though, while looking for the fish i discovered 2 Black/White Molly babies swimming amongst the sand and rocks. Not sure what to do with them at the moment, but i will see how things progress.

Looking really good. I would consider either painting the back black or getting a black background. It would really make the tank contents pop.

I love the black on the background. I knew it would make those fish's colors pop.

Kribs are gorgeous and that catfish is far out!
