You don't know how well I hide my algae. I still can't believe you are parting with your roselines. Sometimes I feel like doing that with my platy fish but I am too much of a sucker for the little guys.

[Torpedobarb]

it isn't that I don't like them.. I do.. really do. I just want to try something different is all. I am looking to get a nice size school of congos. I might get rid of my white clouds too.

lol.. algae is always hidden when updated pics are taken! at least mine are

you tank looks awesome Chris.. I like it alot. I tried something like that.. but I couldn't get it right. your driftwood placement is amazing. I like the lush green of it. the simplicity of the plants that you have make it look clean and natural. (simplicity isn't an insult) I mean that the tank only having a few species placed right makes it look more natural flowing to me. Kudos

I completely understand that. I want to eventually get a huge school of emporer tetras (I am probably spelling this wrong) but I am still a little chicken to step out of the comfort zone of my current fish. A nice school of congos would look awesome. The ones you have already make me smile.

[Torpedobarb]

lol... you mean these emperor tetras... I have a few still.. they are delicate fish to get going.

these are all from my tank.

Okay, I am officially envious. Now that I have your address, I am going to sneak into your house one day and take those emperors! Of course, it would be cheaper to order some more. I have two right now and would like at least four more.

[legomaniac89]

Wow, that is impressive. You have so much variation in colors and textures and shape it's almost not fair . I don't think you could have a better selection of plants in there if you tried.

[Torpedobarb]

LOL... don't tempt me!

[Fish for Brains]

Wow, your rescape is looking awesome. Hard to believe this is just a few weeks old.

I've run into some non-tank related delays in getting my scape going with your soil, but I'm slowly working my way through my setup checklist. Thanks again for the swap and all your advice.

Congos are really good fish for tanks.

Hard to beat.

Cardinals, Brass tetra, serpa tetras, Rummies etc, quite a few out there.
Roselines get big and bossy, even in larger tanks..........too much like SAE's after awhile I guess.

that is the main reason for getting rid of them! I would like a school of 20+ for my tank... I will probably remove the rasboras too. I would have the white clouds and the congos.

wow, much different from your first set up. awesome
