Great looking tank! you could always throw in some Electric Yellows! tongue.gif Seriously tho, Some peacocks would throw some colour in (dragons blood kind of thing)

I would personaly put a background on or just a solid colour would give an already good looking tank another step up!

Cheers Furnix I had 2 small electric yellows but the compressi got them, guess I'll need to get some larger ones I have a little dragon blood but he's not showing much colour yet. Is it hard to put a background in now that the tank is established and full of water?

oh ok, the dragon blood should really stand out once he starts showing his colours! I was meaning a plan old background attached to the outside of the tank. Not a 3d background that goes on the inside. Even just a big piece of black poster card that you get from the news agent for 1 a sheet works if u double sided tape the corners (and maybe the middle depending on the length) and it just seems to make the fish "pop" rather then being washed out with the neutral colour of the wall.
