And thats all for now, Check out the goldfish and betta section for more pics.

Looks nice Alex!

must be a pretty laid back betta to be in with those male guppies...

Kuhli loach is lovely BO. Your tanks are fantastic and i love your plants too.

Man, that Betta looks HAPPY! I would be too if I could live in that tank! It's beautiful! How big is that tank? Very nice!

Thanks guys

My betta is actually very calm around the guppies, sometimes he might chase
them away. But nothing serious.

Graham- Im not 100% on the size, if i remember correctly its something between or around 15 gallons. This was my first tank i ever got its about 7-8 years old.

You did a really great job Alex.What are the plants in the tank? Any silk/plastic plants too,or are they all live? What wattage do you have for your lights?

Its sill not done, The anarchis needs to grow some more, so do the vals, and the crypts.

Plants: Anubius nana,Marimo balls, Rotala,Combomba, Java fern (lace and normal), Java moss, Anarchis, Vals (corksrew/normal), crypts (2 types)
Black amazon sword.

Thats about it...

I have two 10 watt compact flourescent light bulbs, My tank has "two sides" Low light, and high light. High light is with the rotala Combomba ect.

On the high light side i have an extra light bulb out side of the tank (65 watts), I move it around during the day, So light half the day its on the back of the rotala, the other half its on the front of the rotala ect ect.

Eventually ill get my self a better light set up.

So is this a tropical fish tank or a goldfish tank? It really is beautiful...but you've heard that already. How about SPECTACULAR!!!!

Tell me...I'm setting up a tropical tank. I just bought some Lilly Bulbs and Hardy Aponogeton Bulbs. What would you advise me to do before throwing them in? Do I need special lighting or special gravel?

Sorry, I also meant to tell you I have a 25-35 gallon tank.

I've had both of those bulbs,and just basically threw them in.I only had the standard aquarium lights.They are rather simple to grow.Some will sprout right away,some of mine seem like they took a month.I left them in anyway,and they are finally sprouting now! I just had to check the unsprouted ones on occasion to make sure that they weren't rotting.

I found a conversion web page to find out how many gallons my tank was by the measurements and I have a 30 gallon tank. Thanks for the advice, I'll throw them in after I make sure they're all right.

Thanks.

lovel tank Alex!
i love the khuili loach

ckolstad: For the lily bulbs, on the back it should say they need some sort of fertilizer. I don't know if they do well without, I didn't want to try. The others have been doign great in my tank though Just place them in the gravel a tad to hold them down in place and that's about it. I have to trim mine back a little in my 5 gallon tank. The one in my 10 gallon hasn't sprouted yet, but it should be anytime now!

Good luck with the bulbs!

on your tank Alex. It is amazing your betta gets along with your guppies. I thought they weren't compatable. Must be very laidback.

Nice tank, BO.

How did you ever get your Khuli's to come out for the pictures? Mine hide in the back of the tank in the plants all day.

Thank you all once again for the wonderful comments. Im glad you like it all.

Corrie-My Khuli loaches usually stay in the back, i had to zoom. But even then its hard, my khuli loaches move like crazy looking for food and stuff.
I love those guys.

i love loaches too!! wish we had some big kuhili's round here.

awsome! like it much!

I have some new pics, just need to load them to the computer, Thanks.
