yesh that is mine. its still empty at the mo but i think im gonna go buy some fish tomorrow
sand is easier than the little pebbles cos all old food & shit gets in between the stones. make sure you buy the sand from a pet shop though! dont be using building sand
sand looks better too

depends what fish you buy
for example if you buy clown loach they are little fuckers that munch through the plants in no time - so buy fake ones
i think im gonna buy some real ones though

tropical fish are alot easier to keep. the heated water means less diseases etc. easy fish to keep include guppies, tetras, mollies. if you go into your pets at home near you they'll give you all the advice you need. nice tank tho but how comes you've got a fluval cabinet but no fluval tank??
hope this helps if you need more u2u me
