Thanks for your 2cents LeahK! I always like to get multiple opinions on things.

looking good so far!

Thanks, that means you're gonna want good updates huh?

How 'bout some harlequin rasboras,and some type of corydora?Then maybe a single angel?
I know you said small fish,but a super veil tail would look awesome in there with a school of smaller fish.

I absolutely love harlequins, always have! My only problem is that everyone else seems to love them too. I am really looking for something different in this tank, every other aga entry has harlequins (or similar). That's why I was leaning towards the meteor minnows, ember tetras (outside of this forum & a couple others most people never even heard of them!), or even lampeye killis.

Definitely getting a school of habrosus corys! :thm: Thanks so much for your great suggestions!

Very nice work mister

Since you want small schooling fish, you might want to consider bloodfin tetras (Aphyocharax anisitsi). A school of about 10 would look gorgeous against the dark substrate. :idea:

You did a really nice job on that cabinet, btw. :thm:

Or a school of small rainbows such as P. furcatus, Pseudomugil gertrudae, praecox, threadfins, celebes etc. I saw celebes at Petco the other day and they are really pretty!

No problem! It is hard to tell with this digital skin we all have.

Another fish I really like! And have previously considered, I eliminated it due to it's size but may revisit this species again. They really are striking!

Thank you!

That's my kind if thinking! P. furcatus is actually a fish I thought about a while ago because of my hard alkaline waters but with the Co2 added this tank will be nearly neutral. So I am trying to get some fish that may not do as well in my non Co2 tank. I definitely plan to have some of these guys in another tank as soon as possible though!

All the other rainbows are now on my list of possibilities! Thank you!!! :clap:

lol Not quite what I am going for.

Wow! Where am I when all the great free deals are going on?? But seriously congrats on your good fortune and your talent at revamping ,it really does look good and I can't wait to see it with fish and plants!!

 

[myswtsins]

Thanks! For the most part I stalk the classifieds so it only a matter of time before I find a good deal. I have tried to ban myself from craigslist though because I end up finding too many deals & I seriously do NOT need any more stuff right now...maybe a bigger house though. I have more projects than I can handle at the moment.

Plants?

Ok not much of an update. I need to sell the $250 worth of Mbunas I have so I can buy more plants!!! That and I am waiting for my driftwood to sink, maybe another couple of days.

I got the reactor to work so I am holding off on building the external reactor for now, gives me a project for a later point in time.
