Beautiful fish slider..... I really love that one greenish blue fish.. and the reddish orange ones I have never seen those before. What is the mortality rate on those? It seems the pretty fish are hard to care for... :P

This is the other tank i was taling about, it's an AquaOne AR620, about 96 litres (think thats about 22 gallons for those of you across the pond). It has internal wet and dry trickle filteration built into the hood and twin PL lights.

Just filled, the cloudiness soon cleared though


I've got a Hydor ario, it's a blue LED light and aerator in one unit


Following fishless cycle (which only took 23 days) plants added, also added a couple of shells which were soaked in hot water for a few weeks


Started stocking with the fish i had in the biorb

Nice tank, are those tall plants fake or real. So what all do you have in there now?

Good Job

All the plants are real. There are 2 male platys, 3 dwarf rainbow fish and 3 harlequin rasboras. I will be adding some panda corys, some tetras and maybe a pair of Bolivian rams

May I suggest three more harlequins, they look so much nicer with six since they are schooling fish. What type of plants are those, almost don't look fully aquatic.

Yep, i agree with your point about the harlequins, maybe 3 or 4 will be added soon.
Don't know what kind of plants they are, bought them in LFS, seem to be doing well

Well I'v found if they can support themselves out of water then they probably aren't aquatic but if they flop over a little then they are aquatic.
