Very clean looking, hardly any equip, solid background. Your equip will be covered by those plants it looks like in just a short time. Looks great! What's the black and white fish in the bottom pic on the left side

Very nice! Looks well maintained. It's gonna look even better when those plants get bigger. Classy choice of substrate, I never like artificial colors that seem to be so popular among beginners.

hi every one
well where do i begin,
thank you all for the lovely comments,
the Loach is indeed a YoYo loach(Botia almorhae)
there are four in there.
the tank is a Fluval Vicenza 260l bow front.
"is that Val":confused: .
i chose gravel,as i found in a tank i had a few years ago it had sand
that i didn't get on too well with it,
however sand would have been better for the loaches
but they cope well,and the YoYos do have a good dig.
hope to pop in some more pics soon.
:)

changed the tank a little.
i must say that the light does have quite a glare to it,
i wonder if some floating plants would benifit at all?

thank you KingOfTheDeep.
madtundra,thanks,
the background is home made,i was being tight fisted,
i got a 4ft length of brown parcel paper and painted it.
the only thing is i think it is a little dull.
once it had dried,i fed it across the back of the tank,
(and that's not easy when your little) and stuck it
to the tank with sticky tape.
i want to try the same idea with black paint.
