I have been needing to update this journal the last couple of weeks, but I have been holding out for my new camera. I think these pictures are better than my old ones, but I still need to learn a few things.

FTS

I took out all of the micro sword that was in the front center. I think that makes it look a lot cleaner. The blyxa is spreading and filling in better. Last Saturday we had a local plant swap and bbq. While not as big as some of the first plant swaps were, I was still able to get some nice plants to add to the tank.

Center Detail

I also have some new fish additions. I won $50 from a soda bottle cap about a month ago, so I figured I would just put it all in my tank as new fish. I have been thinking about trying discus, but the cost of getting my tank ready and buying the fish, it would just be too much. So then I started looking at Altums and wild Scalare. They can still be just as expencive as discus. So I get to my LFS and they have wild angels for $4! I bought 10.

Wild Angels

I have asked multiple people at the store if these were wild caught, and if they were, from where. None of them knew where they are from, but they claim they are wild caught. Even if they are F1s or F2s, it is a great deal.

Does anyone have any idea where these might have come from by looking at the pictures?
