| The one complaint I have about sand now, is that when I got ICH in my tank - it was impossible to clean up the spores. I ended up losing my entire tank. I have now switched to gravel. |

Thanks for all of the comments everyone, will try and get some more pictures soon, the anubias has taken over 
The aggression between Salt and Pepper (my two angels, credit to Butters for the names) has almost gone, atleast now Pepper fights back
They weak gourami isnt doing too well, but hes pulling through, but loosing weight in the process  . Hopefully he will make it

| Not Wisteria but I can't think of what it is
Is your Ram spawning? It's egg laying apparatus appears to be showing.

| as for the ich problem with sand i dont see it.there is a trick with sand it is called pascients when vaccuming it you can do it the old fashion way but always keep a hand on the hose and pinch it to stop the syphone and allow the sand to drop where the ich particalls will still get pulled up. all i did was raise my temp 3 or 4 degreese for 2 weeks and do this 2 or 3 times a week with vaccuming. but lets hope you wont need to do this anyways. and on the other hand i love your tank and think that you should get some ammano shrimp or cherrie shrimp would look great | |

| the tetras should leave them be and as long as you keep the angels and rams well fed it should be fed even though its worth a trie would look great i will be doing this with my 10 gallon with shrimp and angels | |

| right then fisloreans, ive just done some calculations, and found out i have a few inches according to the 1" per gallon rule
Pleco (L-021) (13") 14" (extra for the bioload)
Rams 1 (3.5") 7"
Shark 1 (6") 6"
Dwarf Rainbows 3 (2") 6"
Guppies 4 (1.8") 7"
Gourami 1 (5") 5"
Tetras 2 (2.5") 5"
Angels 2 (6") 12"
total of 62", that leaves 3", would i be able to get a couple of shrimp or a small, non-schooling fish when i go to the LFS tomorrow to get some light reflectors? | |

| I don't know, because you still have to factor in how big the pleco will get- 24 inches. (He is common, right) However, with that large a tank, if you have proper filtration, you can be a little overstocked. Still, I don't know if you should get any more fish. | |

| Im sorry, i had to do it
i looked at the angel tank at the LFS and they had these amazing gold pearlscale angels, one has the most silver scales i have ever seen and i just had to get her (i think its a her)
theres been no trouble settling in, except pepper being abit protective (maybe they could pair off?)
i also bought some live bloodworms and gave them half of them last night and they absolutely devoured them , everyone had a very big tummy after | |

| I love pearlscale angels They are so pretty. Please post up a pic of yours if you get a chance. I would love to have a school of dennison's barbs/roseline sharks in my planted tank if I ever have the money/space for it. You may want to look into them. They work very well with Angels, Rams, and Tetras and I think they are really pretty http://badmanstropicalfish.com/profiles/profile128.html | |

here is a picture of Mustard (little split in the fin but thats healed up nicely now )
The dennison's barbs look really nice MissMTS, i will defiantely pick some up if i can find any around here, i was thinking of a few more Bolivian Rams or maybe GBR's to try and get a breeding pair, ive been hopeing my original 2 would pair off but dosent look like it. Would that work? or would they been seen as 'intruders' by my rams and shark? | |

| I know that you can find the denison's barbs on aquabid Mustard is gorgeous! I love angels, but I feel like finding good quality angels is pretty difficult. I would add 4 more Bolivian rams to your tank and and wait for a few to pair off. I don't know how GBR's and Bolivians do mixed together, but I know a lot of people have had sucess keeping groups of BR's together in planted tanks. | |

| Il have a look on aqua bid but the shipping will be huge to come here to England, one good think about being in England is I have 2 LFS's near me, one has a large stock of very good quiality Marbles and Pearlscales, and the other has excelent various types of Angels. | |

| Hello everyone in the fishlore universe, i think i have finally finished the stocking on my 80 gallon, yesterday i went to a LFS about an hour and a half away (So not very local) they had the coolest plecos ever, they were bristlenose plecos, about 1 inch long, i got one albino and one normal colouration they have settled into the tank very well except they keep dissapearing and then re appearing a couple of hours later
