What a fantastic piece of drift wood. It is hard to see but it looks like you have a small plant behind the driftwood R/H end. If so bring it forward then add some tall plants at the rear behind the drift woood R/H end.

A very intersting tank to look at it has that I want to stay and look more.

Well done

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Found a shop selling huge bits of driftwood, cost me £30 for that bit.

Plants are all new, tanks been going 2 weeks, not sure what plants i have to be honest as im kinda dense on that. i dont think there is enough space or light to grow anything behind the driftwood, but i might try soem low light reeds or something.

am about to get some plants for the surface from a very kind member of the board

stock:

pentazona barbs
gold barbs
panda cories
clown loaches (yes i know)
and mollies

pentazona barbs

One of my favorite fish

edit: if you have any room and are interested, a pair of cherry barbs works well with the pentazona

ive tried to take a photo but there all blurry lol

all 16 were swimming together last night, looked great!

nice tank

I would take out the orange slate (or whatever rock it is on the gravel) and either add more plants (better to have more foreground plants, or get a rock with more texture. The slate I think, detracts from the whole image.

Wow, that must have been fantastic to see

ive slowly been multiplying those small foreground plants, now have about 15 growing and i intend to keep going till i have a good covering.

the slate is in there to grow algea on it for the BN and Mollies to feast upon really and it doesnt look that bright normally.

still i have been thinking about removing it for a while now.

heres a tip for growing green algea, take a slip or and aquatic lilly, (IMO slips work better) and grow it very close to the surface of the water, u can grow it in a seperate tank too, but after u get a substantial amount, clip the leaf with the most, and ancher it compleatly flat to the ground of the tank. it looks a little funny, so better to put it behind somthing, and if u leave enough stem, the plant will grow roots, when that happens u dont have to ancher it anymore, if u dont want the plant in thetank, then put it back into the angea gowing tank, and u will have more leaves to pick from when it grows.
hope this helped
