Okay well I'm finally ALMOST done stocking my new 55.
inhabitants: 4 angels, 4 black phantom tetras (they're easy to miss...blend right in...) 5 bronze cories, and a trio of swordtails. I plan to get a pair of kribs when my lfs gets them in a week.

I'm going to get a few more plants as well. I have only 3 at the moment. one crypt of osme sort, a piece of driftwood with java moss, and another plant.. I'm not a plant person, just checked to be sure they'd be ok with low light.

Now, for the pictures...

My favorite angel... about 4 times his original size! The colors are weird but... erm, there he is.

Heh, it's changed a lot in 3 months.
 
Wow!
Nice job, and very natural looking!
 
Looking good Chico! Very natural looking - I like it.
Those Angels grow like crazy dont they? I was thinking about getting some, but I'm afraid they'll grow so big they'll overshadow everything else. In your case, they seem to fit perfectly into the aquascape. Nice job.
 
Looks good. Clean and fresh. Nice job... :)
 
Nice! I think you did a very good job there.


Just thought I add this. First:
