    There are 750 Green Neon Tetras in this tank that shoal beautifully. There are also over 500 Crystal Red Shrimp which James finds to be more beautiful than the Cherries. :)

    Lol wow, I started off keeping freshwater tanks and have always wanted to do a saltwater tank. Just now I started working on one because of its beauty, but after watching this video and seeing that he's taking his time to seperate the roots and place them one by one in very detailed spots, is brilliant. I usually just place the whole plant in the gravel. Then when the water and fishes were added seeing how they swam was mind blowing.I regret not giving freshwater a serious try, Thankyou :)

    It depends on the size and setting. Glass is usually preferable because it doesn't warp light unevenly such as in the case of acrylic - this can distract from viewing the aquascape. Acrylic has the advantage of higher clarity and therefore better colour representation. Acrylic won't shatter like glass. Our largest display tanks are acrylic whereas all our smaller aquariums are glass. We advise that glass is the best choice for most circumstances.

    The best way is to visit our shop and let one of our team talk you through it. That way you can learn the basics and decide what is best for your budget. It is possible to have a basic setup but compromises in light and other things limit choice of plants etc. It takes someone with hands on experience to guide you correctly. Most shops out there won't be able to offer sufficiently good advice in this case.
