Thank you for the kind comments, I'm still not entirely pleased with the aesthetics of the tank. Soo, I'm thinking of getting rid of the sand 'river look' and move the drift wood to the middle and make this the centre piece (corys will not be happy, as they love to sift through the sand, i've noticed).
This will allow me to stock more plants and hopefully give it that forest look...I've ordered a few new plant's... I'd really like to get some low lying foreground plants, any suggestions?
Well, here's an update, I've rescaped the tank to taken out the sand and have replaced with more black gravel. The idea is to have more space as the sand 'river look' simply took up space.
another shot of full tank:
...and some shots of the fishies, the Bolivian Ram I just picked up on the weekend. I used to have one as my avitar would suggest. I lost him a while back and simply could'nt resist...cute little guys with heaps of personality :headbang2:!
Some of the Fauna:
In this shot, i've noticed all other plants doing really well, but for this one. It's lost some of the intence green look and has gone rather pale. Does anyone know the right conditions for it to flurish? I'm currently dosing with Flurish Excel with DIY CO2.

...and last but not least, here's one I definately have to rehouse, he's a bit big for the current tank. you would'nt believe the bioload :grinyes::
