| | Fish Addict | 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. |

| | Fish Addict | 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. |

| | Fish Keeper | 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 |

| | Fish Keeper | 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. |

| | Fish Addict | 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. |
