The tank is looking good!


I just changed the water for the second time. I have been changing 30 gallons (75 gallon tank) every three weeks. The levels are good and the fish look happy. I now have have angels, lemon tetras, silver tetras, cardinal tatras, bearded cats, cory cats, paradise fish, three eye gourami, and clown loaches.

The fish appear to be getting along together. I have been feeding them every other day. The angels and loaches are fun to watch. I often take my breaks by sitting in front of the tank and watch the beauty.

I have 6 loaches. They are the most active fish in the tank. They really earn their name because they are clowns! The lemon tetras are also active. The angels are cool to watch because of their interesting body movement. I have 10 angels. I have read that one should only have one or a good sized school because they can become aggressive with each other. I will post some pix later today.

I will be adding live plants no later than November. I will need to get another double lamp for adequate lighting.

Thanks for the compliments. I will be taking the castle and other items out of the tank when I introduce live plants. The items will be replaced with rocks and a nice piece of wood. The castle does offer a nice hiding place.

Does anyone know of any sites that sell rock and wood? Please post the links if you do!

depends on what kind of rocks you want

rocks are pretty expensive to order line when you factor in shipping.

I actually like all the plastic plants!

They work together. And thats a compliment coming from me, i usually dont like plastic plants that much.

Very nice, you should be proud of your tank!
