oh thanks, been workin real hard on it, i cant stop looking at, sounds silly, but its a real great sense of achievement for me, because i didnt have such a successful run in the past, i think putting in some of my brother inlaws media (gravel, some plants and filter media) from he,s very establish 55g tank helped me soooo much with the cycle and the success of the tank!!

...and of course my creativity

Elvis, the tank is gorgeous. I tend to over do it with plants, do you plan on adding more?
What did you have in mind to go with the gouramis? I love to see neons swimming against the plant colors.

elvis

No more plants for me , for now !

Ill see how i go with these ones , maybe ill experiment with more in the future more...
I was thinking neons as well, defiantly a consideration , i get bamboozled when i go into the LFS, soooo much to choose from

Really do some research before you buy the fish. I made the mistake of putting some neons that I thought were too big to be eaten by my Blood Parrots. They weren't big enough.
There are plenty of disaster stories so it helps to research
