I started cycling in december, so far i have three zebra loach, 4 oto's, 1 rainbow shark, and 2 dwarf gourami's. I planted some plants at the start, but today i have added a load more. I may have over done it a bit, have to see how it goes, but im pretty pleased with it. The pictures are not great.

I love it, I think the tank looks great.
Is it a Jewel Tank?

Well Done, 8) I would love to see updates in the future.
 
Thanks a lot steven! yeah it is a jewel tank, i was lucky enough to be given it!
 
I like it a lot :), Any updates on tank, Oh and what kind of substrate r u using? sand?
 
Thanks, yeah im using black sand, i like the way it goes with the rocks, and contrasts with the plants. Ive added a few more small plants, i'll try and get a photo. Im looking forward to adding a rubber pleco in the next the few days!
 
Here are a few more pictures of my tank, there is some green algae on the glass, but im pretty sure my new bulldog pleco will have a good go at it! (i just added him today, he's hiding in a cave, so you can't see him in the pics).

very nice! i love the zebra loaches. and i really like how you created those terraces with slate--very zen rock garden.
 
I think this is about 1 month after my last pictures. Its getting a bit over grown now, so these are some pictures before i do some pruning. I let everything just grow wild, there are some plants that are floating, sending roots downwards, which i didnt remove, my gouramis like floating plants! The other day i pruned the top off of the ?temple plant? in the middle of the tank, it was touching the light bulb!

I have loads of roots growing out of the sand for some reason!

I have ordered some java moss, so i will be adding that sometime this week, hopefully it will do well, i think it does well in any conditions?!

Well anyway, here are the pictures.....
