Yeah cheers scott,
At the moment there are;
3 turks,1 leopard,1snakeskin
10 neons
10-15 white clouds
5 black neons
2 alb bristlenose
1 common bn
2 clown loachs
2 yoyo loachs
2-3 glass shrimp

the fish have barely been in there a month and the discus havent settled
because i cant keep my hands out.
My cannister filter s**t itself so all ive got is an aquaclear 500 and another
dodgey brand hang on filter running the tank,which in the case of the 500
it has alot of water flow so i can only really use anubias or other strong stemmed plants.Also the plant growth is only governed by a single 4ft
powerglo and some ferts,so could imagine my plants wont break any ground to surface growth records.
Im heaps keen to deck it out with some thick greenery though.
What sought of plants would you suggest to start with to fill the large gaps
on the back wall between the logs? given my setup..'
