I wanted to put like 13 neon tetras in my 20 Gallon, and it just occured to me how nice it would look...

Wow lovely looking tank. If I get mine looking half as good as yours I'll be very happy

Backtotropical, your tank is absolutely stunning!

Have you added any more fish?

Ain't that the truth

Coming along nicely.

Consider some more mid and foreground planting.

Thanks again everyone.

I have decided after taking the plunge into the world of planted tanks that i have learned a lot and i have decided to start again (almost).

I bought 6 silver Koi Angelfish yesterday and will be removing all the existing fish except the whiptails, corys and rummy-noses.

I will be selling on / giving away most of the existing plants and bogwood, to replace them with an XXL piece of Sumatra Driftwood, and planting predominantly with Anubias, Crypts, Swords and Java Ferns.

Big changes coming.

So, final stocking will be,

2 x Sturisoma Festivum (Royal Whiptails)
7 x Corydoras Paleatus (Peppered Corys)
30ish x Hemigrammus Rhodostomus (Rummy-Nose Tetras)
6 x Pterophyllum Scalare (Silver Koi Angelfish)
