Just keeping an eye on you

I feel honoured.

Well... That scape didn't last long

Rescaped the tank, will update with some more pics later on tonight once the water has settled a little.

Right, water is still a little cloudy, but not too bad.

After talking to a friend with regards to the scape we both agreed that it lacked, well, everything. Lol. So, i have replaced the wood with some MASSIVE bits (by comparison) and arranged them together to look something like. Some of you will recognise them from previous tanks/scapes so it's no suprise that they're back.

There are actually less plants in there than before, but due to the wood it kind of looks more full.

Anyway,

Now they have settled in, the Angels' colouring is really starting to show. Very impressed with them upto yet.

Was this 'friend' a Lumberjack?
I don't normally like Angels, but the colour on these immense

 

[minnnt]

Does that mean you don't like the wood?

 

[FishFanatic04]

haha Don't listen to him. From a girl's perspective, I like your wood lots!


lol My only complaint is that the plant bunch on the left was drawing my eye, the tops are soooo even in height. A few days will fix that though.

The angels are fantastic!!

Any oppinions on wild type Angels? I was thinking about them once I re-cycle. The ones I saw weren't actual wilds..a few generations down the line actually.

I would think that by Sunday the Cabomba will be more or less at the top of the tank I pulled off the bottoms of it all in one bunch so i guess thats the reason why. lol. Next time i will ensure i do each piece individually.

Wild type Angels are awesome, have a look at Mattlee's journal in the new world section. That should be enough to make your mind up. It's his fault i have these...

Looks gooood, I really like the angels. I think if I was to ever change up the stocking of my tank I might get angels, maybe platinum ones

but I may be a little too fond of my small schooling fish for that!

 

[FishFanatic04]

I am planning 6 angels and a large shoal of espei's.

They are fine together from what I understand. I had them together before, but the angels were tiny still.

 

[Alm0stAwesome]

Sounds good! I do love my espei!

Get back to your scrubbing woman!
