| My 30G Community Tank Well as the title says here is my 30G Community tank  It currently is housing 7 Pristella Tetras, 3 Otos and 4 Juvenile Kribs (Im hoping for a pair). Im planning to get 2 pairs of Killiefish to put in here also. The ones that Im looking at are the Notho Rachovii and the Aph Orange Australe (hubby's favorite). Also there is a small possibility that I will be getting a pair or a trio of Zebra Plecos that will go in here  Here are the pics (sry the room is dark and I dont have a light thats in the room that will help and the fish wont hold still)

| That tank looks great.
I also like the white sand. I've got a very light colored very fine gravel in mine. WhenI get some time I'll try to snap some nice photos. |

| I like the decor and the sand. Looks very realistic. The rock leaning against the other one adds a nice touch (something I would not want to risk with my kid jumping near the tank).
I would have suggested a small piece of driftwood but on second thought I decided that would take away the impact that the rocks give the tank.
The only thing I would even consider changing (well, two things, actually) would be to move the rock on the far left a little away from the glass for easier cleaning, and perhaps place a taller plant in front of the Koralia to hide it from view.
Nice job on the tank!

Very big and very heavy, and the one thats standing up right is buried so that its sitting on the actual tank bottom and is supported by the other rock that is buried some and is also leaning on the back of the tank. Both rocks are supported enough that they shouldnt go anywhere. As far as the other rock being in the way for cleaning, I just move it and clean and put it back, its not really a hassle. What do you mean by the Koralia???
Thanks for the comments everyone

| Very nice tank. The cherry finish on the tank/stand really sets off the white gravel too.
I'd guess "Koralia" refers to that piece of equipment (powerhead?) all the way on the right.
