My Tank Reno Of Sorts

[Darkerwhite2]

I just relocated some of my plants in My 15 gal tank and turned the whole thing around. IMO it looks alot better now, im looking for some input.

Info on tank
15Gal us
Lighting:15w flourecent
Substrate: 1/2 Pea size gravel
Ferts: Flourish root tabs, flourish exel, flourish
Fish: 4 white cloud minnows, 5 Platty fry (about 2 month old, temp), 2 Rasbora, 2 amano Shrimp
Plants: Hygrophilia polysperm, Anubius nana, Vallisera spirals (sp?), Hygrophlia corybosa (?)

Here is a before picture (nov 2006ish)

And another

Here is a couple after the reno and such...

you can see how the fry have grown

Vallisera spirals (i didnt add any more, they sprouted like mad)

Hygrophilia Polysperm

Hygrophilia Corybosa (i think thats the name)

Let me know what you think
Im planning on planting some more anubuis nana in the front section and onto the bogwood hopefully

It does look much nicer BTW are those anubias plants I see in there? (Could be swords come to think about it) If so they will rot if left in the substrate, best to take them out and attach them with cotton to the wood.

Ya... ive had a ton of trouble try to keep that wood sunk. i picked from my cabin months ago and soaked it for about a month in a bucket and boiled it and such and it still wouldnt stay down... it still floats a bit. thats y there is so much gravel also i was originally going to make this tank a crab tank using tall hills of and half full tank. Changed my mind but took most the gavel out. There was enough to cover the bottom of my 55gal tank. thats were it came from originally when i bought it.

Glad you like it im still not quite satisfied though
