Progressions Of My Tank

[Baffoon]

Hey guys i started fish keeping bout 10 months ago with a 15 gal and my tank has changed alot since then so i thought id do a progression thing

Anyway as i said i set my tank up 10 months ago typical beginner set up with few plants gravel then when cycled i added guppys-sucker loach-2 gouramis-2 rosy barbs-adf anyway after a while fish were dyin so i thought to myself ill change it with the knowledge i gained from this forum unfortunately i dnt have ny pics of the set up before but trust me it was not pretty

so when in the summer holidays i stripped my tank down i decided to go for white sand and some pebbles this made this setup

hi looks ok i have the same tank maybe some live plants to brighten it up a bit

 

[Baffoon]

sorry it would not let me post pics
this was running for about 3 weeks and it started to get realy dirty loads of algae was building up, and the sand was filthy and showed every spec up. I decided to add some plants


and i still was not happy so for the 3rd time i completely changed bought some nice black lava rock and a piece of bogwood ,some plants and natural sand this time this produced this

VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV


and this has now cycled and theres 6 false neons and 3 corydoras

looks really really good! no offense but the head from what ever the place is called throws off the natural looks alittle bit.

they come from Easter island just thought i would bring a little culture to TFF.lol

edited was due to me being rubbish at spelling

 

[Baffoon]

yer i know but when you see the head under the light it looks reely good its like a personal touch lol

Your tank looks amazing. And I absolutely love that Easter Island statue. It looks right at home amongst those plants. Brilliants setup.

good job mate!!

looks really nice!!!

what else do you plan on stocking in it?

 

[callum_parsons]

it is a really nice looking tank. the colours look great together that is some really good work.

 

[Baffoon]

cheers i was thinking of stocking it with another school of tertra and a pair of somthing or i was going to move the fish in there and add some dwarf puffers any ideas

 

[callum_parsons]

how about a pair of dwarf cichlids

 

[Rafael Dilone]

That is some very good looking tank you got there 8) You have come a long way from your initial setup. A shrimp would look nice in that setup. But got to know if it is compatible with the fish you have.

Are those onions or vals in the back right?

I would take out the mando grass and plant it in a pot in your house-- they're not at all aquatic.

 

[Baffoon]

yo which ones the mando grass
