New tank!

As I said a while ago I've sold off my frontosa and I'm starting a new planted tank, with a few South American fish...
here are a few of the first stages:




empty tank








added aquatic mix, with gravel on top and the bog wood



in with the plants!










This is a few days of growth now, the Indian Stargrass at back of the tank should reach the surface in less than a month which will make the whole thing look more complete...

I've also added the first of the fish; 4 Otocinclus. These little dudes don't look that amazing, or move about much during the day, but have an important job of keeping the algae in check without damaging the plants. They also stay nice and small (<4cm)>I also added a Royal Whiptail Catfish, who is quite pretty!
Keep an eye out for updates!
