Thought I'd setup a nice display in my lounge room after picking up a bargain tank/cabinet and hood.

Inhabitant so far;

1x5cm Red Tail Giant Gourami.
3x5cm Corydoras Sterbai
2x4cm Bolivian Rams

Looking to put some nice Geos and maybe even some L number in there. Along with plenty more Anubius up the back rite corner, coming rite to the front with some Anubius Nana on wood closer to the substrate.

Been setup for a couple of days now. Ill add some higher quality pics with my SLR in a few weeks when there's a few more fish and everything's settled.

The invoice read "large Anubius"

I've kept amazon swords along with Anubius about 8 years ago. Anubius has a much different root base. I wouldn't have grafted a sword onto some wood smile.gif

Awesome, it's always good to see one of your old display tanks put to good use, but also makes you wish you still had it laugh.gif

I like the wood and low light planted style tanks. This tank is already looking quite nice. Will look even better with a bit more greenery
