My first tank...dont laugh...

sorry terrible pics....not good as a photographer yet, still learning. its a 20 gallon, work in progress, as money becomes available. cant take a good enough pic to be able to see my fish though. only thing left i really want to do is build a multi level, rock, shelf/cave on the right side of the tank and add in a couple real plants. cant wait to upgrade to a 50 gallon with more space.

fish:
(3x) spotted danios
(1x) zebra danio
(3x) white cloud minnows

going to add to complete the aquarium:
(3x) rummy nose tetra's
(1x) dwarf gourami
(1x) colorfull fish...maybe rainbow...still undecided

thanks for the comments....i really love it. only thing i would do diffrent next time is get it set up before i add fish :P

my poor fish have suffered as i have been adding a piece here...piece there. would be nice to finish it and let them settle in. only problem is finding nice rock that isn't way overpriced.

i fully agree... some decorations are WAY overpriced. i mean if i had a mold of a sunken ship and the equipment to make one i'd totally do it but i just dont have that possibility.. $50 (real price 70 but i had a coupon) for a piece of plastic is a bit much in my opinion but hey.. it makes the tank look neat..

the decorations dont get my blood boiling...its seeing rocks that i used to find in my backyard as a kid selling for $6 a pound. i recently went by death valley (before my tank was set up) and drove by enless miles of black lava rock and now see it here in the shops for $3+ a pound. I cant even bring myslef after two weeks to look at the reciept for the big lava rock in my tank. that sucker is easily 15+ pounds

much thanks. i never was fond of acrylic as an aquarium material precisely because of that reason. i work with it all day and have had to try and fix some unbeleivable expensive mistakes some people have done to their acrylic furniture. unfortunately after being diagnosed with MTS i have lost the ability to fund my treatment in glass. and i have a weird size space to fill that i cant seem to find a tank to fit.

"Don't laugh" Are you kidding? That tank looks AWESOME. Great work.

It's a good thing I don't have your job or I'd not be able to move around my house. I'd be walled in with tanks lol. Good luck with that.

looks better then my 39gal...
but I think I need to add more plants :/

very nice good job on your frist try
Also erm your fish stocking, basically they're all fast swimming fish and need alot of space... so this is my suggestion:

Get a pair of Dwarf Gourami's, and then fill the rest with a trio of Corys, bristlenose plec or some a trio of ottos. And then for some colour go for guppies or endlers...
Or maybe even some mollies if you can get some nice coloured ones.
