'New' 40g Tank Beginning To Look Nice (pic included)

themuckypaw

a few months ago i got a 40g tank cheep from a guy on ebay. at 1st it looked very bare as i set it up slowly by adding a few bits of mopani wood and plants cuttings and baby plants from my other planted tank.

it is an odd shape, more square than rectangular. it was built to fit an alcove apparently. it measures 80 x 55 x 50 cms (31.5 x 21.5 x 20 inches) and holds 200 litres (44 UK gallons)

it is now coming along nicely and beginning to look good i think. the plants are mostly java ferns, hygrophilia, giant vallis, twisted vallis, swords and a few crypts. the fish are 30 blue neons, 5 blue rams, 2 angels, 2 bristlenose plecs, 1 female beta, 1 tiger loach, 1 female guppy, 2 amano shrimps.

i took a pic tonight using my web cam, so i appologise for the poor quality of the image but it gives an idea of how its doing.

here is the pic, check my 2 new angels Smile

You know Fishy, you can avoid that 'curvature' in your photo. You don't need to stand up close with your Fish-eye lens. Instead, click on a nice Telephoto, and stand back abit, say, in your neighbours front yard across the road, or perhaps even down at the corner Milk-Bar...
