here it is, all i need to do is wait for the new vallisneria gigantea to grow out, and wait for my replacement heater to arrive. i'm planning on changing the stock when i can find somewhere that can get what i'm after!

i had a background on it and i thought it looked rubbish! i was tempted to put a black background on, but i like the open look to it. the plants should hide all the equipment once they've grown out

oh, the stock is....
fish:
7 x golden barbs (not biotope specific, but the natural colour puntius semifasciolatus is. these will be getting replaced at some point)
4 x SAE's
9 x cherry spot rasbora (rasbora rubrodorsalis. took me ages to find these! i want some more)
plants:
indian fern
java fern
java fern windelov
vallisneria spiralis
vallisneria gigantea
i'm considering this tank finished, but i failed to get it where i wanted. i've got a new project in mind which should work out a treat though
