New 30g after first water change...

I didn't cure the driftwood before adding it to the tank so I got a lot of tannins.

A quick water change helped show off how the tank will look after the wood releases the majority of it's tannins.

What's up bro? I guess you won't b quitting anytime soon. It's nice to see an old friend with a new tank. I have to ask you. Is that a Molly feeder I see in there? I assumed this is her tank.

haha what's up bud!

yeah yeah laugh it up just because I have livebearers

They are not the intended residents, but they look good in this tank, the color contrasts to all the green and brown.

They will only be in this tank until I get it's permanent residents.

I love your aquascaping.

I tried so hard before to arrange gravel, driftwood, rocks, and plants to look natural and beautiful but they always looked symmetrical and synthetic, not to mention I hated gravel vac-ing, so now most of my tanks are bare.

Very cool set up, I like that wood in the center, it looks like an image of a living thing with mouth open.

I'll admit, the more natural look is growing on me.

Imagine a group of cardinals in that tank.

I setup the tank with a pair of Carinotetraodon in mind though.

There's someone on aquabid with two of the rarest species: C. borneensis, and C. salivator.

But I think i'll go with the common C. irrubesco, because of cost.
