Thanks for the comments BAE and MattA1. It's been ages since my last post, sorry about that. In the interim I've been been away and managed to break my collar bone which has been a bit of distraction-but the fish are fine
Ive put some black card behind the tank which I think really helps. The H.cuboidis is spreading across the foreground which i want. The moss got a bit out of control- think i need to more trimming in the back left- it's lost its definition a bit there.
We experimenting with different heating systems as well, trying to use a smaller heater thats less visible- but during those cold Feburary nights the tank wasnt keeping warm enough (i've taken the usual heater out to show what it looks like anyway).
Bit of algae on the close up- didnt see it when taken the photos
The shrimps have gone a bit shy and fewer in number...we will try and bolster their numbers and see if they become a bit braver and stop hiding in the back.
(sorry about the huge size of the first photo-had a glitch with imageshack)....
For comparision here is a photo from about 3 months ago (save you going back through the previous posts!
Any comments welcome as always...and ill try and up-date more often too
cheers.
