can somebody please tell me where they come from and what would be good to include in the tank. like plants and wood etc. i want to get it as good as possible.

you want to fill it with plants so 80% of the substrate is covered, and supply an abundunce of caves. (coconuts are good )

i would say little to medium flow

would a fine black gravel be ok?

thanks FHM, you said you found pictures. could you tell me where, i cant seem to find any.

Not quite sure where the pictures I found are now. I could find them if I did a little more searching, but if you look at this link, you can get an idea what an aquarium setup would be like.

Just provide a lot of vegetation, both above/on the water surface and below.



EDIT: Here is a pic of a tank I just found that looks pretty cool for a DP setup!
