    So I've just stuck my arm in there and moved around the plants I had wanted to for the left hand corner. Still not 100% happy with it, but it's looking better. Just got to wait for them to grow a bit more. I hate waiting for plants to grow! But as usual, I've been sitting here staring at the...

    Thanks guys! I'll have to keep a look out for that plant. I'm pretty limited to what I can get here. I don't trust fish shops to label plants correctly, and I haven't got a good enough eye for plant species. So I've been getting all my plants online, just depends whether they have it or not...

    Thanks for all the support guys! Sorry it's taken me so long to get pictures up. So far, I'm not really happy with it (again ;P). But I need to do some rearrnging, especially in the left hand corner. My Hyrgo Corombosa's have decided they don't want to grow leaves down the length of the...

    Well if that's the case, I'm not giving it to my plants, I'll slap some on a sandwhich!! :P Yeah I thought he'd turn into a bully. But so far, he hasn't bothered any of the other fish, just struts around, minding his own bees wax. But I am worried about playing match maker and giving him a new Mrs.

    They didn't survive :( I was left with 3 and they started getting big and fat and healthy looking, then one day they weren't there :( I don't know whether to get him another Mrs??

    Yep. No clue haha. All I know is with liquid CO2 you got to be careful not to over dose cos you'll get tons of algae!

    Interestingly, I don't either :/ I am, but not as often as I should. I think the big helper is that my tank is right opposite my back door, and it gets loads of light. I've just been using liquid CO2 and API "Plant Food". Seems to be doing the trick?

    Well, I said I was open to surprises, and I have just been surprised. Got an email from them today saying they're shipping the plants today. So they should be here tomorrow! Keen as mustard!

    Hey heyy. All is going well. Plants are growing really well. Have to start pruning the Siliquosa! Took a quick snap for you, bit of maintenance needs to be done, so it's not looking the best right now. Also, my Kribs had babies :D Too bad the male killed his Mrs. :angry:

    Random question, but is it possible for the male to kill the female? I discovered some fry yesterday, and the female is no where to be seen. The male is looking after them 24/7 :(

    I agree with the gravel. Would look amazing with sand, black or white. So far, hardscape is looking good! Loving the black rock/slate (not sure what it is, but I want some!) Would love to see it when you have some plants in. :good:

    I am successfully keeping a group of 9 Tigers with Cories, and they are getting along fine, although I tend to agree, not really recommended. I'm also keeping them with a pair of Kribs, 6 Black neon tetra, and 6 Hengles Rasbora.

    Thanks so much guys! I certainly can't stop staring at it, but it's only because I'm looking for things to correct lol! It's a shame the photos don't really do it any justice.

    I just think the right hand side looks sort of..boring? But I agree, I think it needs some 'bunched' plants. I'll give the plants you mentioned a Google. Hopefully I can find them here -_- The plants on the wood have filled in nicely. The Wendtii is doing well, and my Java Fern is growing back...
