The fish and tank are doing great, so I thought I'd share a few photos.

Your tank is really coming along nicely, those rocks have a lovely bit of algae on them.

Your tank's looking amazing, kalevi. I'm loving the way those fish have settled in. darkflow's right, that algae on the rocks is a great touch. I'm getting a little jealous, to be honest - pull me out of this planted tank chaos I'm dealing with.

I think planted tanks can be just as nice, personally.

Looking good mate, that corner tank setup is really working for you. I'm hoping I can get mine to turn out as nice when I'm all set up.

Don't worry, it won't be long, the bug will get you soon enough mate. You'll be hooked before you know it, and next thing you know, a 6ft tank will be taking over the living room.

Don't over-clean them, that's my two cents. Used to be guilty of moving mine around too much, didn't give the algae a chance to settle in. Just leave them be, let the light hit 'em, and they'll start going green in no time. Unless, of course, your fish get to it first.

Lovely fish, kalevi, and that tank's got some serious hypnotic vibes going on.
