A 55 with schools of different tetras and a school of corys to maintain the bottom.Some great filtration ,at least hob 110gal/hr. A bunch of plants mixed with some driftwood would ROCK!!!!
I don't know what they cost over there. There should be some local breeders around to supply the lfs in your area. If not I know what I would be looking into doing.

Nice fish!
Thats what your tank was missing. 
Bushwacker how much are those fish over there? I hear all this talk about $300/fish in Australia and a lot from the UK.
Sharon that tank is lovely!
You should both enter your tanks in TOTM contest !
It doesn't hurt to try!Ray Your Freindly Neighborhood,Fully Mod-ified, Self-appointed Pic Hound!! Need pics!!!

Thanks for the kind words...The Congos were $12.99 each at WalMart. I walked away the first time, as I needed at least six. They "called to me" every day for a week
...I went back and bought them, and I have not regretted it. They have coloured up really well, and they are gorgeous!
