A bit of river at home...

I rememeber when I first got my tank, that the water-plant 'expert' said that no plants would grow...
Somehow, I refused to believe him and just got myself different types of water-plants to try out.
Thankfully I did, because my aquarium was all over-grown within a month and a half.
It got really messy, so I decided to re-vamp the tank.
I added a few neon tetras, rummy-nosed fish and a few golden tetras.
Planning to get a few guppies soon.

For the record, I dislike guppies, only because they get diseased rather easily.
But Jeremy put a long guppy into my tank because that was what he tried to 'rear' awhile back. It looks all weird and alone now.
Another one would be nice.

Fish-shopping with me anyone?
That's about the only kind of shopping I love to do.
Shoping for animals, that is...

Many people have different opinions on how an aquarium should look like.
Some like theirs looking artificial.
I like mine looking like I had cut a segment of a river and put it in my home!

I'll get a picture of it soon.. it looks so pretty now.
Maybe a few more plants at the back would be good.

Oh!
If you do get new plants, please let them sit in a seperate body of water for at least a day, just so you can rid them of any snails.
I neglected to do that and my whole tank was infested with those slimy freshwater vermin.
I'm not talking about the nice and cream coloured ones either.
I got rid of so many of them by keeping a container of saline solution next to me while washing the gravel.
Into the solution the unlucky ones went.
They just frothed and spat and pale green slime came out in a trail to the top of the solution.

I feel so guilty and mean...
What would you have done?
