New set up Mixed Apistogramma Tank

[matty2k]

Hi all, hope everyone had a great xmas. I was busy adjusting my tank to try and make it look like a natural habitat for my Apistogrammas. Here are a few snap i took of the adjustments so far.

Hi all,
Welcome to the forum, your tank looks really good. I like the sand and it is a lovely piece of wood.

I'd try and let the plants fill in a bit, and may-be add some more structure, for example you could add oak leaves, and plant the wood with Java Fern/Moss.

cheers Darrel

Cheers for the reply. Ive ordered more plants and indian oak leaves so just waiting on them. Unfortunately all local lfs dont have any java moss!

Nice tank.
For java moss, you may want to see if there is a fish club that you can join; you'll meet lots of folks who probably will have java moss to donate to your tank. Where are you located? (I'm in DC, we have a general fish club, one specializing on chiclids, and one for aquatic plants).
What are the fish in your tank? Looks like you have cacautoides, borelli and some tetras?
