Last night I 'adopted' a tank from a friend who had to last-minute relocate for her husband's job. How could I pass up a free tank? And I was just about to start on an angelfish tank too, and this has an angel in it already. It's probably at least a couple years old, I'm wondering if it's stunted at all, if I could introduce any other angels into the tank, and lastly, I'm not a fan of decorated tanks and I want a biotope. I want to change this tank into basically the opposite of what it is now. My biggest question on the biotope is, what sort of substrate should I have if I want it moderately planted with driftwood (or something similar.) Never done a real biotope before, any advice appreciated. I normally do a lot of research beforehand, but this project sort of fell in my lap.
