6 of them to be exact.



For some reason this one was a camera hog.



We have 2 silver, 2 marble, and two black. The black in the background of this marble is the best I can do tonight. Both black angels are staying low profile in the back.



The thing that is most frustrating is taking 50 pictures to get 6 or 8 that are worth anything.



Besides seeing angels all the time there are 4 blue rams, really beautiful fish that florescence and changes colors from green to violet and shades of red. Pictures do not do the light show justice.



Again really cool fish.



I have a school of 10 congo tetras, I must admit I was not impressed with the pictures I seen of these fish but because they school so tightly I took a chance. Pictures do not revel all the different colors that shimmer on this fish. That and a tight school swimming as one throughout the tank is really cool. A bitch to photogragh though, they never stop moving and at least one of them is always blurred.



I also have 4 otos in there cleaning like there is no tomorrow, and 10 ghost shrimp. I have a herd of snails to add and quite a few more plants.

Are you saving the evil sneer for after people get to know you?

I love the sneer.

It's not evil, it's devilish (see "3 booger pickin' sisters" pic in "Thanks, Ace" thread.. or the "Have you seen these criminals" thread). And it would let me upload my grinning seamonkey, but not the devilish monkey.. or is it actually a cheeky monkey?

I think they're staring at us... :|

Maybe this thread can be moved to the Photo Gallery where it won't get bumped down by general questions? Nice pics!

Thanks, I just wish I did not need to take 50 pics to get 8 keepers. Fish, they are such prima donnas.

Keep in mind this is the start of a tank, there is much more to do.
