I have this 10gallon in my office that until yesterday had tropical fish in it. I gave away all the fish I had in it to make room for natives. I found that my 30gallon at home is overly crowded with fish and I'm going to bring some of the duplicates to my office. Anyways, nothing big or major. I changed all the gravel this morning to look more "natural". The water is still a bit foggy from the gravel change. I left about 1/2 of the water in it, I hope the 'cycle' process is done by monday. I plan on bringing some fish on monday. Here's some pics

Looks nice, so what do you plan on putting in it?

1 Rainbow
1 juvenile Greenside
1 Redline
1 juvenile Variegate
Maybe a fantail

Two bluntnose minnows, and maybe 1 or 2 various shiners.

Looks great and sounds great! What types of plants are those in the picture? Looks like a Crypt and maybe a lily??

I really have no idea. I bought them a year or so back as bulbs at walmart. They seem to cycle and grow really well then die down and they grow back strong. I've found that plants seem to be harder to maintain than fish.

Aponogeton spp. Hey, can anybody point to a source for UNHYBRIDIZED A. ulvaceous? Like the specimen pictured in the Innes book. I had one once upon a time. I know, I know - it's a different matter where plants are concerned!

Now that's just a tease. What'd you add?

I think my office would bulk at a 10 gallon, but I've got a little 3 gallon soft coral tank that is a big hit.

I'll try to get pics tomorrow if I can. The fish are still adjusting, but doing well.

Now I'm wanting to move my 30 gallon to my office and buy a 75

Hmmm.... and here I am, thinking about replacing my 75 with a 125... maybe next spring, cash is a bit short right now.

I picked up a 75g at a $1/gallon sale a while back and still haven't got around to setting it up. Wonder what the boss would say if she came in Monday and it was set up in my office ...

I made sure to check with my boss before I brought my tank. He said "yeah a fish tank would be fine.....I just don't want to come in to find wild animals running around.

Now that I'm looking at it, my 30 gallon would look good here
