Tank Mark III lol!

I've added a couple of pieces of wood today,the one on the right is covered with Java Fern and looks fab I think.The other piece is just a little bit with a small amount of Java Moss growing on it so I've placed it on the left in front of the filter.Neither piece seems to be impeding the flow.I've also move the airline to the right hand corner so the bubbles are behind the wood.

I think that I'll leave it at that now and see how it develops for a while,no doubt I'll be tweaking and updating in future but I think I've got the basics - now I need some new fish :D

Yes but as I'm keeping the temperature fairly low 20-22c I'm not sure what to go for.I love Denison barbs but they'll be too big as the tanks only 30"

Any suggestions would be appreciated :D

Some lovely Danio choprai in there would look a treat. Or other small Danionins. 8)

There are also several other beautiful danionins, have a look through this site, most of them are ok in hillstream conditions,

Don't get any over 2.5" though, danionins are very active and need quite a bit of space for comfort!

Looks great. For dithers white clouds would be my choice- they add a nice splash of colour and they're very entertaining fish.
Fast and bulbous!
