Started losing interest in fish keeping after losing my longfin german blue ram so thought i'd try re-scape to boost it back up
It worked but now im more interested in scaping and planting then actually keeping fish
Here's the outcome anyway, feedback welcome good or bad;
BEFORE

AFTER

HARDSCAPE (If you want to give plants and planting placement advice )
The screw driver was an idea for wood placement

Oh wow! That looks really good. Such an improvement. You've actually made the tank look bigger. Well I think so anyway. I hope this re-sparked your interest in fish keeping!

Thanks for comment, just waiting on the java fern to grow wild for the back left corner - i end up putting the good bits into the 55g lately lol
Not sure what to get fish wise though, current stock is;
7 cardinal
6 panda cory
2 platy that're getting moved to another tank.

Looking good matey. Haven't seen you around much lately?

Why don't you try GBR again? Or maybe some firemouths? I really want a pair of them

Not sure if i could do with the hassle of such a sensitive fish tbh, although they are so nice.
Was thinking pair of bolivian rams but not sure if i see them as a 'main' fish.

Tanks too small for firemouths but they're quality fish too, used to have 2 in my 55g.

Only other fish i really know of is apistogramma lol.

I saw at my LFS about a month ago, some 'gold Rams' (what they were labelled as) And they were stunning! Don't know if you know anything about them??

 

[Proxo]

Ahh gold rams are nice too, had a pair a few years ago.
Gold rams are just a different colour morph of Microgeophagus ramirezi i think.

You've just added another fish to my list now ahhh what to do lol.
Might just spend the money on some crypt plants while i decide

Haha sorry! I thought they were stunning hey.
What about Kribs? Lots of babies

Good idea, set it all up, then you might be able to picture what fish you want in there. Or you might just come up with more options and get even more confused

 

[Nettley]

Looks good dude .. is this just normal play sand?

 

[nurglespuss]

Thats the hammer! great job

 

[Proxo]

Kribs are nice but a pair would prob be too aggressive for a 20g, got a male krib in my 55g that's alone and can bully the out of my green terror and the terror is big enough to prob eat him hole
The choice has to go past the gf too, so makes things abit more difficult lol.

Sand is playsand from homebase

 

[Proxo]

LFS trip for fish at weekend, will be coming home with either apistogramma or bol rams & maybe a BN plec to grow for my 55g.
Here's an update picture, just waiting on the java fern to grow out so i can fill out the back left corner.

Looks fantastic
