Hi Guys, still pretty new to all this but my tank has been going for a little while now and starting to take shape.

Fluval Roma 90
6x Neon Tetra's
4x Guppy's (1 male, 3 female)
2x Dalmation Mollies

3 plants (I'm not going to try and pretend I know what type they are)
1 Piece of wood for the floor
Moss ball (which does need moving I just haven't yet

I'm going to be adding a couple more fish (bottom feeders) at the weekend and hopefully that should be it for a while :) unless I see any other plants/ decoration I like.

Any feedback would be great! I am thinking of getting on of those bubble machine thingys :)

All the best, Sam.

Oh cool, I don't know how many the max is but I think I could easily get 4 more in as there is tons of room, but will see what the shop says :)

How weird, I see your from Worthing, I was at the weekend, we went for a night out in Brighton for my mates birthday and he booked us to stay at the Grand Victoria Hotel as hotels in Brighton were coming up full and really expensive,had a good time, although think I'm getting a bit to old for it all now!
 
Very nice tank. The plants on the left look like Green Cabomba (Cabomba caroliniana), and the bunch on the right looks like Anacharis (Elodea canadensis)

Yeah I try and stay out of Brighton unless I want a monster hang over!! Haha!
 
Hi guys I made some changes over the weekend, removed one of the plants that was looking horrible, cut one of them right down, then added the plant on the left (wanted some other colour in there) and also added the ornament in the middle.
2 more additions to the population as well, added 2 Clown Pleco, who are pretty cool although don't do a great deal :)

Let us know what you think :)
Sam.

Looks very nice! Are the plants real?

Yeah all the plants are real. only ones that are;y are the ones on the ornament in the middle :) Think some of them may grown a bit but will just have to keep trimming them down if need be.
 
Good I like real plants, The green one with the white border on the leaves in not an aquatic plant. It is going to rot and die.

Oh really, I bought that from an Aquatic shop and it was in the same section as all the other plants, they guy didn't say anything to me about it?
 
It is sold as an aquatic all the time. Just wanted you to be aware. You did a great job setting up and arranging the tank.

Well thanks for letting me know mate, I will keep an eye on it. Seems a bit much of a shop to sell it if it's not suitable, typical as that is my fav one! ;)

Thanks mate, I like it now, taken a couple of try's but it's looking good.
