Wow, its a very different looking tank...not bad at all....I have never seen those egyptian decorations before..
I can think of 2 suggestions, I would add some short plants to the front of the tank. Just a few in order to make it not as plain in the front. Like that little reed thing you have going on by the big pyrimid.
Another thing I might have done, but is kinda hard to do know that you have the tank setup, I would have made the substrate be a tan sand, like that in the egyptian dessert. But you know the blue doesn't look bad with the baskround.
Very good over all!

I lived in Egypt for 8 years, so it's kind of cute to see a themed tank of it.
I think sand would look really cool, although the blue gravel kind of matches the background nicely. I think more plants would look great too. Maybe you can find some that look kind of like papyrus, that would be awesome
Papyrus is a reedy kind of plant, almost grassy, with what look like the spokes of an umbrella on the top of the stalks.
Get some ich medicine as soon as you can, and start treating. Make sure you treat it for as long as it says on the directions, otherwise it will just come back. I hope your fish make it through.

That link has a lot of basic information about breeding rasboras (PH, temperature, food etc.) although it seems that they aren't that easy to breed. Good luck with it

wow..different looking tank...very cool. I would definately go with the tan sand to finish off the look.
Are you sure it was ick in the tank? Maybe the curse of the Mummy j/k
Hey what about some brown paper for a background? You can draw (or trace) some heiroglyphics on the paper for a real Egyptian wall look

hey thanks for the info guys greatly appreciated! although it wont be easy to put the sand instead of the blue gravel, i bought the egyptian things from a lfs chain called petland , i think they only have them in calgary but not sure, as for the ich i finally found a medicine that is working wonders! ive had it in less than 48 hours and id say 90% of the ich has cleared up on the fishes its just called "super ich cure" ill look it up later and post some details on it. ok as for the neons and angels i only have this many because of the ich and the angels never ate them because if you look in the top right of the pic the angels arnt that big anyway but i do have plans to get another tank at least 29 gl's that im going to theme in the near future, any suggestions?
