    Nice - I think all planted tanks should start with guppies ..

    and then you just leave them and do not bother about the rest.

    Cool... Not so sure about the smurf/Barney rumble going on in the substrate, but if you like it like that, it's a win. Your next challenge is to photograph your wife's guppies... Seriously the most difficult fish ever to snap. They move totally randomly, much like our government, you never know where to next! And they never stop... Much like Eskom asking for money...

    Bribing her with small fish tanks to get a medium one? You're doing it all wrong.... Jewellery= large tank! (Ps. The fact that I'm a jeweller has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with that statement:))
