Here's my finished aquarium. These aren't the best photos, but oh well...
I'll add some actual pictures of fish when I can figure out how to take them...


So, I went with an ancient ruins theme. I got the Buddha head from an antiques show that Ralphie and I went to in Brimfield, MA. The jug at the left was a Ralphie find at PetSmart.


You can kind of see my guppies at the right side of the picture.


Here's a pretty okay shot of Wanda (the angel fish).


I created the wall in the center out of slate tiles. I broke them with a hammer and built a retaining wall in the center of the tank. There is a raised gravel terrace in the center of the wall. I tried to take a photo of it but it was very blurry.
I made the background of the tank black so the colors of the fish would pop out. It looks better in person.

I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

Tank dwellers:
1 Angel fish - Wanda
1 Pleco (Black)
1 Rubber Lipped Pleco (Grey)
6 Fancy Guppies (2 Males, 4 Females)
1 guppy fry (lost another one)
4 Cory Cats
4 Snails
