Just an experiment all the way around. The angels are test subjects to see if my CO2 doesn't kill off fish, by poisoning or PH problems. The shrimp and plecos are working on the algae.
First time I ever set up a play tank, it's actually quite fun to see what happens next. I'm too big a chicken to play around my discus but this is quite enjoyable.
