My Juwel Vision 180... *updated *

[Andy-lee]

Hey everyone,
Still quite new to fishkeeping only been in the hobby around 6 months and I’m still learning something new every day

So here’s my tank, it’s a Juwel Vision 180 with real plants, redmoor wood, black stones, a little cave and 2 black rocks.
Filter is an aquaone 1050 external with added carbon.

Stocking is as follows:
2 Pearl Gourami
1 platy (mams choice )
3 Male Guppies
10 Neon Tetras
3 Rainbow fish (the blue looking ones?!?)
3 Cory’s (2 albino and one peppered)
1 Bristle nose
1 zebra snail
1 Shrimp

I'm just waiting for the plants to grow so they fill the tank up abit more.
Also looking for some final stocking ideas, any one got any suggestions?
Any comments and suggestions are very welcome,
Thanks for looking
Andy

[fluffycabbage]

lovely! what sort of wood is that?

 

[Andy-lee]

Cheers for the comments
fluffycabbage i think it is redmoor wood? I chose it as it has alot more character, with the branches going in all directions unlike other wood where they are just lumps.

[Andy-lee]

Yeah littlemonkey black sand or gravel looks the best in my opinion really brings out all the colours.
Any one got any ideas on how i could improve??

That's a really great tank.

One of the best I've seen to be fair. Its simple, relaxed and the black and green go together like...something that goes together really well...like black and green?

Im just about happy with the tank now not goin to change much more, maybe a carpet plant around the base of the redmoor and that would be it. I think the black and green looks good also, as do the contrast of the brown of the wood and the redish plant with the green

Ill keep this thread updated on any further changes
Cheers
