I rescaped this tank this morning...Some fish back in and looking different *L*

1 cory returned by accident, so as soon as i catch it, it will be put in the planted 2ft with the other 2 cories.

All the BN are now out and in their breeding tank (yay yay)

Who returned to the 5ft tank!
Angels ~ Greyson, Tigger, Frell, Biatch, Diablo, Angelus, Castiel (new) & Uriel (new)
5 Pakistani laches
2 Clown loaches
1 Redtail shark ~ Bomber
Riffle Shrimp

FTS (pic taken on slight angle)

Why's that? The shrimp have been in this tank with the fish for around 6 months :)

Really? Impressive. I would have thought that the loaches would scoff them up something fierce. I wonder how they'd go in my tank...

Yeah quite a few have said the same. I dunno, it works for me *L* The shrimp come out and eat beside the Angels and loaches, the loaches dont seem to pay any mind to them

what kind of lighting do you have?

Lighting: Dalbarb double T8 (1x40W & 1x 36W tubes) & GLO HO T5 single (25W tube)

The GLO T5's are actually for a 2ft tank (made to be a double fixture) but i changed it so i have a 2ft T5 each side under the hood, it covers nearly the full length.

Updated pic

Not much changed, red gravel added to top off existing substrate
