So the ponyless pony tank will likely remain......ponyless.......the ponys were sposed to be for the g/f, and the g/f aint no g/f no mo......so Im thinking of a different direction......not sure what direction yet but, I had my reservations about putting ponys in the tank because of the temps I experience in the summer......so heres what an overgrown ponyless tank looks like.......it was making one heck of a display refugium......I kinda think it looks cool, but I had to get in there and prune some out....





I added these cocoworms a month or two ago now and I just noticed how much new growth there is......its not as noticeable on the red one as it is on the red and white one.....



and a shot of the little sexies


Oh! and speaking of sexy......An update on Carmen's blasto.....its lookin pretty sexy.....
again my blastos are on the left and Carmen's are on the right...

WOW! you weren't kidding on the crazy macro overgrowth! It's a jungle in there!!!!

I find it kinda weird that the colors have stayed "different" on the two blastos! Looks like you've done a good job babysitting! maybe I could take em back...or are you keeping them??

And what are you CRAZY putting a kenya tree in there????


Those Coco worms love it in there! soooo wish I could have one but I am sure my copperband would think they are "neat"....to eat!

so.....what will the pony tank be now??????

I still think yours look better color wise.....you can have them back whenever you are ready for em Girly.......your not worried about your angel?

I put the softie in there for the g/f.....that will be the first direction change as its already "dropping bombs" in the tank...... As Tony pointed out earlier, I would hate for a piece of it to end up in the big tank....

Ive always wanted a BSJ, but was affraid that I would add it to the big tank and it would end up moving in at the back of the tank......also really like the thought of a yasha/pistol combo.....

anybody have any other sugestions?

I am hoping my "angel" will behave...she is leaving the other blasto alone...hopefully she was just desliming the brain she was picking at???She hasn't been bothering it the last 2 days? So I am being optimistic!

BSJ would be neat...cool fish! Pistol/yasha too...

Can't belive that macro!!
