    I have no idea what the plants are called , i just bought whichever looked nice to me at y618 and for the stocking , there're currently 15rummy noses , 13 neon tetras 6 black skirt tetras and 4 yellow fish which i have no idea what are they , if anyone can identify them please do enlighten me!

    Intending to get 6 panda corys but i can't find any of them and maybe some otos and a top dwelling fish but i haven't decided on it yet , so any suggestions are welcomed!2013-02-03 14.07.03x.jpg2013-02-03 14.14.15x.jpg

    Nice start on the tank. Maybe you could add a bit more plants in it? Noticed you overlap the gravel on soil?

    Sorry for the late reply was sleeping as there's school. Anw yea it did but i soaked it in my old tank for awhile last time so its not that bad , coupled with the white light its really quite okay. Didn't seem to see them 1week ago , but i will check them out again or maybe visit the one at kovan.

    your right side could use some extra plants, right now it's pretty empty.
    the plants on the front are still on mesh?

    you can mix the colors well hehe.

    Plants more and try out different variety of plants and see which one are the winners and they will flourish.

    kissing gouramis can get quite big. Those tetras may be harassed to death. You might want to change to tank mate though.

    currently since they're quite small i believe it can work out for awhile right? Then i will just give them away , are any of my stock gonna be in danger too? esp the rummy noses.
