Looks nice! I like your angel!

 

[Puffer_freak]

heres a lighter pic
my big angel is soooooooooo happy (actually they all are)
surprisingly i did very well decorating apparently because there has not been one little spat between the fish
they are all VERY active and friendly towards each other
even my big gourami's are getting along marvelously

aww thanks
i've always wanted a nice tank
yeah like i said, i'm not finished yet
all i have in there is some java fern and java moss from my crummy little tank
i still have alot more planting
i'm really into this whole "green" natural look
i refuse to put ANY plastic in it (except for a couple logs that are plastic)
just live plants, driftwood and rocks
my fish are in heaven

it would be really neat if ya'll would check out my profile to see my variety of fish
they are all georgeous and they seam to all swim out at once
i'm so proud

It really is a beautiful tank (and stand and hood and fish and stuff). I see a lot of potential

 

[Fiddlesticks]

That is a great tank pk I love the angel too.

 

[Pointy_kitty]

thanks everyone

one question...
how long does it take for beneficial bacteria to go from the old gravel in socks to the new gravel? (how long do i leave them in?)

 

[Sorrell]

Looks great! 55's are my favorite size, great choice, can't wait to see it planted.
