Nice looking tanks! What plants are sticking out of the 20?

[Drema]

thanks ! It's mostly Golden Pothos and rush The pothos grows like mad and the fish really seem to like the root system it puts down.

[kittytango]

very nice looking

[Platypus Gus]

Ok. where did you buy them at?

[Drema]

The golden Pothos was bought at a lowe's garden shop for half off. It is usually in a hanging basket or in a pot .

The rush was collected locally from a pond and is pretty common.

added a little here , took away a little there. Still trying to find a happy place between my fishes' comfort and my own aesthetic preferences.



added some more wood to the right back so that my little bottom dwellers could hide better. ( the show boater in front, not included)



MTS.. much? Added more plants to my Betta tank as well as some more plants hanging out of the top.

I broke down my 20 and 46 after having them up for a year and a half. I combined my fuana and flora into a 90 gallon. The dimensions are 48x18x24. I went to look at a 120 gallon, but for 200.00 I couldn't pass up the 90 gallon!

When I broke down the 46 gallon, I found a whole cave of Long-finned, BN pleco babies! Half are albino and half are black. I've put them in a DIY breeder box in teh 90 gallon. So here is to them surviving my curious fish , and hopefully I can give them away when they get a good bit bigger!

The 90 gallon with plants and fish in. I'm hoping the crypts, sages, and vals don't melt too much...

And becuase I'm a sucker for these little guys... some more pics of my BN's first batch. He was a very protective daddy.

Cute babies, and lovely crowntail!

FREAKIN AWESOME!!!

Man you are sure doing something right!!! Tank looks good too!!! I wouldn't mind taking a few of the BN off of your hands when they are ready!!! For that matter the cribs too!!! Really like both types of fish A LOT, but they are hard to find here!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Nice looking tank! Did you end up with baby kribs?

[Drema]

Just waiting for things to grow in Had a horrible battle with ich. Never dealt with it before, but it managed to devastate my fry .
