thanks, i took out the rocks and left the driftwood with 3 of the larger plastic plants. I also added a large wet dry to it and ( i know i'm gonna get some flack for it but it's only temporary) i moved the 3 retics in there with the motoros and a fire eel and added a school of buenos aires tetras. ill take new pics tomrrow. My plans are to get a 180 when i i get my tax refund and move the marbled motoro and the regular motoro to it once it's cycled. I know the tank is way over crouded but i do 2 50% water changes twice a week. Hopefully i get a larger tax return than expected and i can go bigger.
