Posts: 1031 Kudos: 205 Votes: 110 Registered: 25-Jul-2000	well, we're going to plant it. we're both low tech freaks, so it's going to be heavily planted with currently an unknown substrate, we only got it now because we knew it would have been snapped up quickly (you can see the price on it), so until I get better, I get to plan what will be in it. It will be planted, with probably rainbows, tetras, a queen arabesque pleco (maybe - if i can get my hands on some), and some small cichlids, like some apistogrammas.. maybe even a couple angelfish or something.[/font]

It tends to tear and scratch some awful; especially with hefty bottom feeders such as loricariids. Great fins--bowfronts are always the most fun to aquascape :0.

labrakitty Fish Addict Posts: 740 Kudos: 435 Votes: 9 Registered: 12-Nov-2004	If you are going for heavily planted then I would suggest fine gravel, sand is not good for growing plants and neither is large gravel. Good Luck! Post some picz when it is set up can't wait to see it!
