    recently set up my 60 L aquarium . So happy , first time I scaped as well.. I'm not new to this but was my first time aqua scaping using driftwood and aquatic plants.hope to see them flourish in the next couple of months.. Atm have 5 fish in ×2 dwarf gouramies, ×2 juvenile khoi Angels and one chinese albino alge eater. And a snail wich I don't know where it's hiding(came with the plants) not a professional but I'm happy with the whole set up .. What do you think?

    Very nice @Shaun-Anthony and welcome to the forum :thumbup:
    Yep certainly an addictive hobby this :lol: which is great as you’ll have to get another, bigger tank soon as the angels start growing out. We call it MTS (multiple tank syndrome).

    I agree with above.
    Unfortunately 60L will be too small for those fish long term
    When it comes to fish; "gonna make it work" won't be ok. They either need to be rehomed and replaced with suitable fish. Or, you now have an excuse to get a bigger tank

    Fish keeping is an addictive hobby.
    But it doesn't have to be expensive. One often sees 2nd hand equipment for sale. And also diy work arounds
