Plans at this stage are

Top - Peppermint BN breeding colony & Cherry shrimp
Middle - Angels & Clown loaches, + some smaller schooling fish
Bottom - Havent fully decided, maybe.....

......Temp divider

Common BN pair one side and Breeding bronze cories the other
Gold ram pair one side and Blue ram pair the other
Common BN pair one side and Albino BN pair the other
Or i may just leave it full length and do a planted scape

Tiered tanks on hold, they need to move again before they can be filled, but tis all good, i am still collecting the bits and pieces i need (substrate, wood, filters, heaters etc) so no hurry

I am doing another background....final coat done and will be looking at sealing it soon. It is for a small tank i am triallying a new way of doing the backgrounds

How did you get the mossy look on that background you made?

I have a small shrimp tank too, but with such a small tank, i had a really hard time hiding the filter and heater and at the same time making it look nice and natural. Your tanks are all works of art! Wish i had your talent!

The green is a cement colour, added for final highlighting :)

The small tanks can be a challenge to hide everything thats for sure

Thanks Natalie
