I like your tank, I like that you have places for the fish to hide, and i like the way your plants match up to your backround, it gives your tank more of a feeling of depth.
I think if you had black gravel that would realy add to it.

Exelant tank

With only 3 serpae tetras, you could get a good deal of nippage.

they do tend to chase "others" quite a bit while being feed....... maybe another 3?....

I don't know if you have room. You might just want to sell them back.

I like that tank. I would get more danios and tetras so they can school. The danios will fight with only two. I would also get more corys since they like to school too.

 

[Mr.September15]

I would get a shark and a bull frog ...


On a more serious note:

I agree with the person ^^^^ 2 More Tetras, and 3 more corydoras and you'll be fine

 

[tetraman]

It will take a very long time, but those clown loaches will get to be a foot long.

 

[Sprocket]

tnx for the replys,
i have now added 3 more seapae tatra, 2 Dwarf Gourami, and 3 Amano shrimp.
after adding the shrimp 2 days ago they vanished, not a sight of the little darlings, no matter were i looked......not a sausage, untill today when i spotted one making it's way around the back of the bogwood,
is it just me..... cos when i saw the shrimp it was like "yes, yes there you are you little bute, yee-haa" or do i need to get a life?.......

 

[halfbloodprincess]

lovely rams and clown loaches.

Yeah . I cant believe more people arent picking up on this. Tanks ok stocked now, but when those clows grow . I woud trade the clows before you get attached, or start saving for a bigger tank .

Nice tank btw, one of the best i've seen with fake plants and deco . And your nitrates are fine at 20ppm, hell 40ppm is usually perfectly ok. But obviously the less they better, so good luck reducing them .

 

[halfbloodprincess]

Yes that is too small of a tank for clown loaches.
