Substitute For Green Tiger Barb. Suggestions Svp

It crossed my mind too Richard

Now this may sound very silly but I'm going to print out some pictures of the fish I like, cut them out and then see what they'd look like together I want a variety of forms but don't want the tank to look to bust iykwim[/b]

Well if you're silly Fiona then so am I for almost the same reason.

When we were presented with the tank at Christmas and I started cycling it I was getting it from all sides, "Have you put fish in yet?"
Not only from the grandchildren but the other half too who is sooooooo impatient (although better than he was)

I downloaded the fish we had been looking at, neon tetras and endlers, quietly printed them off, went to my craft room and carefully cut them out and put a dab of adhesive on the back.

Kept quiet about them and one evening when he went upstairs I quickly got them out and stuck them to the front of the tank at different levels.

I was back in my chair by the time he came in and it was so funny to see his face when he suddenly realised what he was looking at. They are still there. He thinks I'm mad!!

Next day I sent a photo of the tank to my daughter and grandkids and she was very excited, texting back to ask what fish we eventually got. I said at the moment we have paper neons and paper endlers. IT was quiet for a very long time and then I got a message back to say she had serious doubts about me.

I thought it looked good and it's even better now with more plants in https://www.facebook.com/ajax/mercury/attachments/photo.php?fbid=848886531800548&mode=contain&width=176&height=176

Goodness knows what he'll think about my next plan.

I've ordered floating fish which I'm going to attach to fishing line and anchor with a stone or something and, again, I shall add them to the tank without saying anything and then wait for the reaction.

I'm hoping that with the movement of the water the fish will have some realism, although they do look like pretend fish   

So, you are not alone !!
