Thank you! I've had a read and ordered some books too.
Hello! Yes I'm planning plenty of plants and aquascaping alongside some peaceful community fish with a gourami centrepiece. At the moment it is all a bit cloudy so I need to sort that out (I suspect I failed to rinse the driftwood adequately).
I suspect it'll look a bit amateur for a good while! But I've been wanting to do this for a few years so no hurry now.
Ah! 3.20 by the time your post came through!
I might do that. I'm dithering over all the options. However, I have already ordered some plants and I'm not sure they count as 'fast growing'. I wasn't well advised, or advised much at all, at the shop so need more substrate so that the plants can anchor well too. I think I may be tweaking the tank for a little while yet and hopefully it will mature a little in that time. Are water changes helpful before fish are introduced?
It was 3.19 when I typed it, then I had to check for the usual spelling mistakes (to paraphrase Eric Morcambe "all the right letters but not necessarily in the right order") and by the time I clicked post it was a minute later
