Hey everyone here is my RE-DONE 55 Gallon Community tank. Just got the new gravel in, and also re arranged all of the plants, rocks, and wood. Also replaced my passed away clown loach with a new one today. The new clown loaches seem very happy, and dont seem stressed even after the gravel changing experience. Seriously, I just went through BLOODY HELL! Lol. Tell me how you think the tank looks right now. Should improve once some plants grow. Also will be adding more plants later. Hope you like it.
THE TANK IS STILL SETTLING SO ITS NOT THAT CLEAR YET.

Psssshhh you guys!!!
Okay so i'm not getting a pleco thats going to whipe my bank account out!!!

And blue...what is that sposed to mean :wink:
Your saying that you never know me to not want more tetra's? Hmmm... lol but seriously what do you think about my last fishy's?
I do water changes every 2 day's at least 20% I do good on maintenance ( or else my clown loaches would be dead because they need good water to live in ;) ).....
So, what would be a good -not so expensive- fancy pleco?
also..what y'all think about the cardinals! lol

Here you can see the daddy of the little plants that are poking up everywhere. There's quite a few too...there the little one's coming up from the gravel next to the big one.


This plant here that I have circled...

This is my java fern slowly attempting to attach to this piece of petrified wood.

This is my other java fern attemtping to attach to this bogwood. The roots are finally starting to grow!


These are the same plant type as the first picture but a totally different spot. These just sprouted last week.


And lastly you can see the plants that are just skinny with little leaves. You can see the babys :D

So thats mostly it!!!!!

It's really weird though...I think the only thing they are growing good on right now is my high nitrates which is sort of a good thing for the plants. I havnt done anything! No fertalizer EVER and nothing at all...weird huh? I think I will do even better now with CO2...I didnt know it was such a piece of cake to make!
