Newly Cycled Tank (PICS! PICS! PICS!)

[Twoapennything]

I finally finished cycling my 40 gallon tank and thought I would share pics of my fish in their new, larger digs. Camera used is a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX1 on the Motion/Anti-blur setting.

1. Albino Cories
2. Angelfish
3. Glowing Tetras
4. Golden Gourami

I'm going to have to add more posts!

Very cool! Can't wait till I have the living space for a nice big tank.

Thank you! Getting a larger tank was such a cool thing. I even banished the television in order to have my tank in the particular spot where it's set up.

Thank you, Mommytron! The moonlight gourami is my biggest fish. He's grown a lot since I got him. I think it was you who was talking about the glowing tetras in another thread/post and I remembered while I was at Petsmart how much you said you liked them. Originally I was going to get some more neon tetras, but they were out (what fish store is ever out of neon tetras?!). So I decided to try the glowing tetras and I'm glad I did. They sometimes will school with the neon tetras.

I added two full tank shots so you can see the whole set up.

Thanks very much! I was happy with how the pics came out. Re: Aquascaping, I wanted a set up where I could see all parts of the tank. I hate it when fish die in some obscure place and then you can't find them.

Thanks again for checking out my pics

So what is your full stock list? How many silver dollars do you have? They get 6", are very active, and have high bio-mass (ie, for a 6" fish, they are quite large).

I have four silver dollars. I posted last week about silver dollars in a separate post, to see if they would be appropriate for my tank. I also researched them on fishlore.com. If any of my fish were truly too big for my tank, I would attempt to rehome them. Right now my silver dollars are slightly larger than a quarter, but not quite as big as an actual silver dollar. So far they are really enjoyable fish - a beautiful shade of silver and very shiny - and they are very active in the tank.

Edit: I forgot to mention that my tank has a mirrored background. In the group shot it looks like there are twice as many fish as there really are. Just an FYI.
