Well Im halfway through setting up the tank. All that is missing now is some more real plants and the neons. I figured it was close enough to finished (and it finally has fish in it) to take pics so here they are:

This is my tank

and here it is again!

Albino Cory.bmp
here is my shy little cory, it took me awhile to take his pic as he was hiding behind the 'mountain'

Pepper Cory.bmp
This little guy also spent his time hiding but he was a little less shy

The Albino in this pic is the poser of the threesome I guess he is showing his pal how its done.

They dont have names yet as technically they are my bf's fish and he has to name them.

It's coming along nicely. The cories are so cute.

Very nice and I love all the color

Isabella

Love your Cories

Annabelle

Thanx guys. Lol, its takes me so much effort to not sit and watch the cories all day. They are all about 2cm long so they are all so small and cute.

Nice tank. Is that sand in the front right?

Annabelle

Yup, the black substrate is sand for the cories and the blue is smooth gravel. The pics arent fantastic and I had to shrink them to fit so now they r fuzzy.

Cute Tank! Don't you love your cories so much?! I adore mine and I spend hours watching them. Nice job on your tank. Post some pics when you add the rest of the stuff

Jugglo

The tank looks great - where did you find that cool rock/cave decor?

Annabelle

Just found it at the little pet shop that I get most of my stuff from. They are small but they have some cool stuff. I love the rock as well and the fish had great fun exploring it. Not counting the tank/stand/filter set up its the most expensive thing in the tank but its totally worth it.

One tuesday im doing a major plant buy up so that I can finish planting out the tank. I'll post some pics when its all done.

Here is another one of the tank after the newest lot of plants I added today. I think this will be it for plants. All that remains is to add another cory and the neons.

And this is my quarantine tank with some of the neons. Im adding them in two lots to save stress on the bio filter.

The photos arent fantastic but I have yet to find a way to shrink them without sacrificing the quality. The neons are just blurs because I had just fed them and they were speeding around the tank.

Nice job, Annabelle, it's beautiful tank. It's amazing what a few plants can do for a tank. What kind of plant is floating on the top and did you need special lighting for it?

I think I mentioned in your other post to be very wary of adding the neons in with the betta.
They are chasers and fin nippers.

It really looks even better with the new plants, great job!

Annabelle

Thanx guys. I'm really lovin my tank now. I cant stop lookind at it.
The 'floating' plant is actually val. I found some that was really really long and the excess length just floats over the top.
I'll be wary of the neons. I'll be watching them like a hawk, just without the intention of eating them like the hawk has.
