Uh oh

How do you get the pictures to show up in the thread instead of being an attachment.

Or you can add them from your computer using the little paperclip icon while making a post.

Looks good. I'd add a background, and load that driftwood up with ferns and mosses. Put some stems on the right side. What is your lighting, co2, ferts?

I just got it back from my neighbors (I let them have it for 5 years), and it has no co2, ferts is flourish by seachem, and within the month I am gettin a glo light fixture.
Any ideas on some more fish?

Sounds like we're about at the same point with similar setups. I got a plant package from mgamer here(coming today, w00t!), seems like the best way to go unless your LFS has a good selection, and people here are often more knowledgeable anyway. I have no c02 (for now anyway), and about 2.4 WPG.

Have you decided how to stock it yet? Right now I have 3 danios, I'm thinking some kuhli loaches, cories, and a gourami.
