Hey!

After looking at all freshmike's loverly pics and tanks I decided to take some insparations from him. But not the "wee tenner" as I thought I would but the rockier ones.

My tank isn't very big and I didn't have many rocks to choose from but I think it looks good. There's live plants in there too, which is very important to me and my Otos!

Anyway, freshmike, this one's for you!

Here's a before picture...

After, getting and preparing some rocks/slabs I started to take everything but the water out of the tank. I put the wood you can see about in the already very woody 84US and the red tiger lilly which I think you can see had some very little leaves coming though so I cut off all the damaged big leaves and planted it in the little plant pot and put that in the 84US for now.

I arranged the rocks and plants, made the gravel slope, added the fish. This is what I got...

Here's a closer pic.

What do you think? I like it and the barbs love it! They have been shoaling which isn't normal for them!

very nice .... it looks great. :thumbs:
I see some guppies in the first picture but none in the second... did they go somewhere?
Guppies? I have never kept guppies. :blink: I have barbs, otos, corys and blue limas. The blue limas are a bit guppy shaped but without the male's tail.

I can't see any in the pictures, though. Anyway...

Thanks for the comments!! :D
 
I think he means the tiger lily leaves.

They do look like Guppys if you try hard enough.

Cool tank BTW Miss Cheese
