The tank is looking great!  Can't wait to see the girls all in there together.  You can watch the girls and see if you will need to add more plants specifically in the front and center to block line of sight since they are siblings and used to being with each other.  Understand though that being moved to your tank is essentially new territory so they may fight a little more than they would in the growout at the breeders.  
 
By the way:  anarchis and elodea are the same plant.

Are they the same? Thanks for that.

I'll definitely let you know if I pick up more plants today.

your tank is looking pretty good Can't wait to see your girls in there

 

[attibones]

Thanks! I can't wait for them to be here either. They have left San Antonio, Texas, but I haven't received a scan notification so they are still presumably en route to the next leg of their journey. I'm really excited to see the variety of fish I'm getting. It's going to be a total surprise for me, though it appears I'll be getting several metallics and salamanders. I bet they'll all be beautiful, though. Wonder if Phoenix will know that he's got girls in the same room? Haha. I doubt he'd be able to sense them, but it would be kind of neat (no, I'm not going to breed them).

Ha Phoenix fully recovered? Bless him!

Watching this thread like a hawk for these girls to arrive

 

[attibones]

His fins still look damaged, but the spots on his body where he had wounds have healed up very well. He doesn't even act like he was in a fight anymore. Totally active again. 
 
I'm obsessively watching my USPS tracking information. Still says they have "departed USPS Sort Facility" in San Antonio, but I want them in Columbus now! Of course, they'll probably end up in Mississippi at some point today. I just have to be patient.

Love your tank

  Looks great.....such anticipation when waiting for new arrivals!  Great fun

And I think I love the tank now! I bought five more amazon swords and added a huge one from my ten gallon which I've been planning on rescaping anyway.

 

[Shelster]

Yes, It looks brilliant!

C'mon girls, your humble abode awaits

 

[rikkitiger]

Oooh! Tank is looking good! Cant wait to see the colors of the girls

 

[attibones]

My fish are in Jackson! Woohoo!

 

[Shelster]

 

[attibones]

Now they are in Columbus. I'm missing French in case they arrive soon. Fish are more important.

 

[AlitaConejita]

can't wait to see them - hopefully you put up a pic before my office hours are over ! Your tank looks really good with the additional plants

 

[attibones]

I'm at the post office now. I'm hoping I can get the post office people to give me my fish, but apparently it's on a pallet. Apparently that means I can not collect it.
