Your current Fish tank Setups!

Glad you're pleased Spook, now be prepared to hardly ever see them! I thought I'd lost all 6 of mine until I cleared the tanks out and found every single one alive and well!

I've had a bit of a rollercoaster with my tank the last few weeks.

Decided to shut down my corner tank and just set up in my Rio 180, which gave a really pleasing result : http://i.imgur.com/5HMJBW2.jpg

Unfortunately I then had a bit of a gluteraldehyde disaster, and in a few days it looked like this... https://www.dropbox.com/s/xmrn1bma0qnc6yw/2013-12-26 10.12.47.jpg

But thanks to some new plants everything is now sorted and it looks like this! http://i.imgur.com/7mu1lwH.jpg

Nope, it looks see through with a red tail. Googling suggest it might be a Glow? I did notice it when i put the bags in the tank before releasing them, i put it down to just being less colourful than the rest. (Remember im a noob to all this)

Should all be Neons so don't know how it has got in there. (guess PAH mix them up in the tank or had a odd one in there?)

Edit: not even sure on it being a glow actually after having a good look at google pictures. Anyone know what it might be? Its see through with a red tail.

They are quite active at the moment, i have a little problem with the juwel 3D backgrounds where they join up against the filter there is a long thin gap, which a few of the loaches can get behind the backdrop, they can't go far due to the silicon splodges, just don't want the otoc cats getting in as they are small and may get stuck, it will be a real pain to sort that out as when i go to the lid the loaches dive in the gap, so will have to fill it up bit by bit when doing water changes untill i take the water level right down on a major clean up:(:(
 
I have some otto's and they are fantastic looking fish, they do get a bit lost in my tank though.

My flying fox's are a lot more active and can be seen 99% of the time.

this is a short video of when i first set the tank up. Its gone through many changes now though.

Quoting my self, After a lot of googling i have found that it is a Prionobrama filigera (Glass Bloodfin Tetra).

Anyone know anything about this fish? Ill see if i can take it back as he/she clearly isn't making friends.
 
Right gents :

I'm not allowed to 'play' with her tank anymore so I figured what the hell - I'll start my own off.

Can anyone point me in the direction of information for a nice planted tank? I'm thinking if anything I'll have three cuckoo catfish and a couple of tetras and be done?
