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!!

Don't you be giving Tony credit now Doug!

I'm glad you're going to skip the ponies...maybe it can be some other type of species specific tank though?

You sure have alot of those little nuclear green tipped algae things eh? I had just a single one in my first tank but it sure was bright.

Hmmm, perhaps a trigger tank? Just pop a few small fish in and you will feel the need to "upgrade" in no time. If you need some GSP to go with that Kenya tree just let me know- I have enough to cover that tank top to bottom in wonderful, lush, green carpeting...

I think Im gonna pass one the GSP, Danny.......but thanks for the offer (I think)....





so, as some of you may or may not know, I have an acan eating sexy shrimp *wonders if they taste like popcorn shrimp*.....not sure what to do about it......it only damaged two frags and has since left the other acans (and blastos) alone.....Ive made the effort to feed the tank a little heavier in hopes of curbing the little buggers appetite.....

I bumped up the lighting a little as well.....I traded Mikey some frags for my "glo" fixture back.... so now there are 4- 24w bulbs over the tank.....bulbs are 2 aquascience duos, KZ "new gen" and a Giessemann Actinic+........made a little difference to the color.....I think I like it
