The info for this tank is listed below. I'm very happy with it, but will keep working! (note: plants not necessarily from South America)

Will post images of individual fish . . . soon . . .

nice looking tank tear-scar! :kewlpics:

...waiting for the individual pictures ;)
 
Thanks for the compliments guys. ;)

I'll put up the first specimens pic:

Here you go cometcattle, hatchets!!

Actually, these guys are a lot easier to take pictures of than the tetras or cories . . . they stay still at least SOME of the time . . .

These are my 3 smaller guys, they're about 1.75 inches; lot bigger than when they got out of the shop, but I have an older one that's about half an inch bigger. He was off to the side somewhere I think . . . :/

The tank is placed in front of the glass door looking out on the court yard; I wanted the plants to get more light. What you see outside, is the courtyard.

I've been fiddling around with this tank for about 9 months, but most of the current plants are recent additions. The Mondo Grass and Anubias have been growing for a while, but the taller plants are actually mor recent additions.
