That's looking really awesome now with the plants going off. I was a bit iffy from the very first pics of this tank but now it is looking nice. Do you have any Rainbowfish in there? If not then u should definately put some in, I believe they would look awesome in there. Brilliant job. As soon as I get a digital camera I will take shots of my tank for you guys to see. Yes I know Im living in the past, who doesnt have a digital camera. Just me. Soon though. Its on my list.
LOL Yeah I was pretty clueless.. I had enough light but wasn't dosing ferts.
It helped being able to read these forums ask questions and research.
These are the fish in the tank.
2 Senegal Birchirs both 6-7 inches..they won't let me measure them.
2 Clown Loaches one is about 5 inches the other about 4 inches
2 Climbing Spotted Perch one is 4 inches the other 3 inches
6 Australian Rainbows. They were labled Western but I believe they are Eastern from looking at pics.
A number of ram, pond and MTS.

Here is a website of an Austrlian rainbow breeder:
http://ausyfish.com/rainbows main page.htm
Pretty crap website but shows some diff aus rainbows. There are also some links on there Im pretty sure for the angfa site which has some mad photos of some aus fish.
I didn't think aus rainbows were that nice until my dad said he breeds them in queensland and sent me to these sites. There would be some much better sites Im sure though with much nicer fish even.

I probably have hybrids as they came from a PetsMart but heres some pics. My wife and I looked at the site but couldn't agree on which they were.
They were chasing one another so it was hard to get good shots. I'm hoping I got a couple of different fish and not the same ones. But as you can see one has more red in the tail and the other more yellow.

They're gorgeous fish Ice. They do look a little like crosses. In Australia it is very frowned apon to cross Rainbowfish. They try and conserve them and keep the right fishes in the right areas. So if you want to stock your dam with them you have to get the closest local wild fish. Your fish look sweet as though. Did you see the new strain on that site they are breeding now. The colours are just rediculous. I think they compete with any tropical fish. I just wish I had another tank I could dedicate to them but I have already dedicated my space to Amazons. Did I mention your tank looks sweet Ice? I'm sure I did. Do you breed any fish or have any other tanks?

Oh nice! Man that goldfish is pretty big. The new scape looks really good. How have you planted and grown that ferny plant so well? I can't remember the name of it, the dark green plant near the middle rightish. I have one of those attached to a rock but it doesn't seem to be doing as well as I would like. What is your PH and hardness just out of curiosity? Maybe it's the light you have. What sort of light is it and how much wattage all up? The red plants look really cool. But they all do actually. I noticed though that you have a little bit of algae. If this happens I find that increasing the co2 should get rid of it. Also reducing the amount of plant ferts at the same time will help reverse the problem.
