Yup, premium member is the way to go, especially while our Aussie dollar is high. More purchasing power.

That big gourami is a beauty. That big fat yoyo must really like the food.

Not one but 2 x 4ft tanks. I am drooling.

Here is my main tank again.

Not alot else happening with the other one. I sold all my sword tails last weekend and just have a few tiny babies left. Got some bristlenose catfish for the soon to be goldfish tank.

Will be getting some of the more diffrent/exotic types. Expecially the oranda's.

laughing at Bren and her Aussie dollar! too funny!

hey RAST, the tank looks nice, very natural... I have the same rounded pebble substrate in my new 10g. I wanted to try something different so I taped black construction paper to the back of the tank for a back ground. Since I was planning on some nice plants and all lightly colored fish, I thought the black would look awesome and it does, so far with the new peach colored betta.

I dont know if black would be too dark for your setup, but something of a background would help improve the look and hide some of what's going on behind your tank.

Just a thought... looks great!

you could try black, white, green or etc trah bags taped to the back or maybe even a fabric such as burlap or something...

You could also try a fly screen background. Its cheap ish and not as dark as a full background. It also gives a kind of depth to the tank because of its pattern? Looks like your looking way back into turbid water.

Thanks for the advice.

Yeah I used to have a lightish blue background so could put that back on. But it seems to be OK.

Hoping to get some goldfish soon in the next few weeks. Will go black rocks to hopefully bring out the orange/red of the fish.

Robert.
