Hope I'm wrong, but is that ram suffering from whitestop?

 

[pennjones]

no, that's just the way that the light hit her from the flash on the camera. i don't know why it came out like that?

A little update: I have just dismantled my 10g tank and I took all the plants from it and planted them in this tank. Plants consisted of some (more) anacharis, some (more) cabomba, and 2 (more) aponogetons. I think the plant looks a little crazy right now, but when the anacharis and cabomba get taller and I can trim better I think it will look a lot better. What does everyone think of the 2 aponogetons planted on the driftwood? I think they add to the wood, but it may just be me.

Looking good

Thanks! The DIY Co2 bell is diffusing the Co2 really well and the plants are finally starting to take off!

Just wanted to show everyone a better picture of one of my Bolivian rams. This is Escobar.

Nice fish

 

[Qays]

Excellent!!!! Really like the development.

What lighting do you have in the tank?

 

[pennjones]

Thanks Themuleous and Qays! The lighting is actually only 2 15w bulbs, giving me 1.5wpg. I'm planning on getting a 65w cf light for it when I can afford it. One at a time.... B)
