Nice pictures and nice tank setup! :nod:

what size tank setup do you have?
 
Thanks! :D
Its 115L (thinks thats around 30 gal) and its a cube shape. Soes anyone else have a cube shaped planted tank? Have you gone for plants in the middle or at the back and sides?
 
You're tank looks lovely, and I like your bn pleco. The only thing I would caution, is to keep a close eye on your betta to make sure his fins aren't getting nipped (if it is a he), and he isn't harrassing anyone. Other than that, sounds great. :good:

Nice tank :)

Its 25 UK Gallons btw. And yes it looks like a male Bristlenose ;)
 
Nice natural look! Looks alot better than my first setup. I wouldnt go ott with plants though - maybe try some of that ricca matt, from what ive seen its top!
Doesnt seem overstocked either - as said watch the betta's fins, but it looks as though hes got plenty of plant coverage to hide if the others do try to nip them.
 
Lol a few more (got a bit trigger happy with hthe camera :blush: )

'Bristlebottom' hes goten shy recently for some reason

Siam_small.JPG
Siam, the fighter. Currently in solitary confimement floating in the top coz of fin rot. (possible bullying- got my eye on the bostrous zebra danios!) Anyway hes spitting bullets about it so he might go back in tommorow. hes throwing a bit of a tantrum.

could i get a female bristlenose or will they fight?
 
nice photos and tank :good:

poor little fella, he looks like hes spitting blood hes so angry :)
 
Your Zebra Danios may well be the culprits as they are notorious for fin nipping. I had to rescue one of my Bettas from a tank of them at the lfs as they'd nipped him so bad, he hardly had any fins left. :/
A female Bristlenose would be fine with the male. Generally keeping two males will lead to aggression but male and female will be fine. Just make sure your filtration is good as they can produce a lot of waste!
Nice looking tank by the way! ;)
