My First Ever Tank!

[Clump]

That is a great looking tank, as a newbie myself it has given me some good ideas

One question, and its a newbie one, with all the planting how do you go about hoovering the gravel when doing water swaps?

The rasboras have been at it..found a few eggs logged in the moss. Mental...only has them 2 days ?!

Your gourami is acting pretty normal. If you want cherry shrimp to start a breeding colony, start with 8-12.

I thought you had purple gravel when I saw the first picture! Coming along nicely!

Ha, ha. I was thinking the same but thought I won't embarass myself publicly

To be honest I think I got lucky, the plants were random choices but it worked out. Your tanks look good from the signatures! Can't wait to get that inevitable bigger tank haha!!

Sorry no-one's answered you!

You use the gravel cleaner around the plants. What's right under them, they'll use as fertilizer

Great tank, i hope mine will look half as good as yours.

Wow this looks awesome! I hope my tank looks as good as this!

Hi

I love the tank. A real inspiration for beginners and experienced folks alike. I like the after shot from your tidy up. Is that a little sand area you've added? It looks great. Draws you right into the tank. I'd be willing to wager that you are a photographer, professional or amateur, due to the way you've laid everything out. Like a perfectly composed photo.

Well done. I'll be looking back at this for ideas.
