here is my latest project planted about 6 - 8 weeks ago a few fish in there looks a bit bare at the momment as im still waiting to put some mopani and some rocks in there. Also a lighting upgrade is imminent. Will keep you posted with more pics in the near future.

however i really havn't had that much time recently to identify it. I will post a pic of it later on here, but, i dont think ill be able to do before 23:00. however i will do it tonight.
I have got a few guppies, a sword tail, a peppered molly, 1 pakistan botia, 1 bottom dweller that I am not sure of, 2 amazon frogs, a danio and about 80 plants.
I am slowly building up my fish again as I changed my tank a few months ago.
