My dream tank
I have finally given in and spent the money on a new 29 gallon tank and stand. I love it so far it is set up with the rinsed sand waiting for the water to clear up a little bit. I have everything but the larger vacuum and fish of course. going out tomorrow to get the background. Pict's coming whenever I feel like digging out my camera.

My hillstream Loach (no name yep but up for suggestions) He is cool he has so much control of where he wants to go unlike the other sucker fish i have had where they don't really. He wiggles from side to side and so far is active during the day.

did you boil that wood for along time before putting it in there, it llooks like mopani wood, and mopani is a pain to get the tannins out

I soaked it in a bucket changing the water even ever it got dark for about 3 months and s far it hasn't released any tannins so i think I'm in the clear. |

Nice looking tank! I dumped my mopani wood in a bucket for 3 days got impatient and threw it in the tank. Now my water is a light brown tea color, but I like how it looks and it wont hurt the fish. Hillstream loaches are so cool, but I havent found any in any pet or fish store that I've been in. As for a name, I would name it... Master Shake.

Ok now my aquarium info is up to date and I am looking for a mid level fish that is flashy and would be a show piece. I was going to go with an Angle but I have heard they will eat my loches. So what are your suggestions (no betta's) I was thinking about a gourami.
