First Tank in a few years

Hey All,

So il try make this long story short, but a few years back i got my "first" fish tank from my landlord at the time. I put it together and got some fish and off i went. Then my Angel fish started breeding! I was so surprised, but very excited about it! They became very aggressive to the other fish in the tank though, so I had to give away my other fish in the hope that the angels would be happier. After a few successful runs at the breeding i was giving the babies to my LFS in exchange for what ever i needed for my fish.

Then one morning I walked into my lounge, and to my horror my one angel was floating sideways... as i stuck my hand in to try and right the fish, i was met with a scalding burn. It seems the heater in my tank had broken, and basically boiled my fish...

Fast forward to today, My Aunt passed away and left me a fish tank. So after having a few issues with some broken glass, iv finally got it up and running! The idea was to create a sort of underwater tree for the fish to swim around...

Still not sure what fish im going to put in, so suggestions are welcome!

 

Hi @Tom and welcome back to fish keeping!!

That is a nice tank, nice size too to enable you more options on the fish you can keep
I like the scape, I think it came out very, very nice
Are those all live plants?

 

Thanks! Im also happy with the way it came out!
Yes all live plants, i think they look a lot better than the fake plants, and I enjoy the "aquascape" almost as much as the fish

 

What is the variegated plant in the right front and left rear?
It almost doesn't looks like an aquatic plant.

 

I agree with you, nothing like live plants
I asked because as @Pezulu mentioned, some dont look aquatic to me so keep an eye on them as they might or, will eventually start rotting and foul your water
