About Yourself:.

Advice:Think things through. This is my first planted tank and is a bit of a mess as I rushed into it. Gradually getting there though. Also, if you intend to grow live plants some form of CO2 or carbon additive is a must. Don't even attempt to grow demanding plants with one or both of them as you won't get very far.

Fish:Harlequins, Neon Rainbows, Glowlight and Neon Tetras, Otos, Corys and pair of Blue Rams.

Corals/Plants:Amazon Swords, Alternanthera, Ludwigia, Hygrophila, various crypts, Ambulia, Rotala, Hydrocotyle.
