So, I finally got round to actually doing something with my tank today. I had an abundance of plants that had run their course and were starting to look a little down so they went to my friend for her tank. Here's my 30" tank now.


Please, please, please ignore the big box... It has Guppy fry in it to save them till I can get more plants. Also, sorry it's cloudy. The picture was taken just after I'd finished rearranging it lol. Anyway, current stock is -
4x Guppies(1 Male, 3 Females) - Poecilia Reticulata
3x Shadow Catfish - Hyalobagrus Flavus
1x Bumblebee Goby - Brachygobius Xanthozona
& soon to be 6x Threadfin Rainbowfish - Iriatherina Werneri

Sorry for the late update but here it is all cleared up. The tub is only there to save some of them until I can get it planted out enough that the babies can survive on their own.

I like how you have the slate slightly tucked into the substrate. Looks natural that way ! Do you think you could add a wider plant or perhaps a piece of wood in front of the filter to hide it better? just imo, otherwise nice, and more plants will be great . Thanks for sharing. Georgie

I plan to get some mopani or bogwood at some point but that filter will be getting exchanged for an external hopefully soon I have more plants in though.

hi, oh sweet, some wood look great ! great you are getting a new filter, as the orange ones take away the natural look. Plants are cool too, lucky you can grow them, me, I have never had the luck with live plants (see my tank a few scrolls down-"silk plants thread") but that is the best I can do . I am sure the new plants look great in your tank. nice job. Georgie

The orange filter is gone now anyway lol. My Shadow Cats love it, here's my boy coming up to say hi


And here's my tank currently

Starting to fill out now and the Shadow Catfish have been out exploring

oh, the plants look great ! What a nice change

do you think you can get a piece of wood in there (if you have L#'s. some need wood ),and it makes great hidy places.

Nice job with the plants, wish I could keep plants looking so good ! thanks for the update.

Hiya, I plan to get some redvine(is that right?) at some point as it's not huge and chunky but looks really nice. I don't have any pleco's lol, hope to get a Candy Striped at some point but depends how expensive they are next time my LFS get's them in. I have my Shadow Catfish though and I'd expecting to get home to an overgrown tank(away till tomorrow night) as my plants just explode.
