SWEET!!!!!!

few suggestions, turn off all lights in the room and surrounding areas, turn off your flash but leave the tank lights on,
turn down your air on the powerhead, it's adding too many bubbles and is distracting to the eye like the flash reflection is.

<<no alien, but green with envy!!!! LOL

[rixy]

looking nice mamafish68.what fish are in your middle picture?does the frontosa get nasty with the smaller fishany pics of your fish that should keep you busy for a while lol

 

[mamafish68]

call me mama or Terry

the middle pic was taken after my kids came home with an aquatic turtle found in a teachers back yard pond...

of course everything in the 55 had to be moved and crammed together , amazingly enough we never lost a fish from fighting.

but the turtle is gone now and everyone is in their rightful place...almost LOL

the frontosa is a great buddy to everyone in the tank, infact he wards off the aggressions of another fish, kinda a big brother thing going on I guess.

he feeds from my hand and loves to be "petted"

 

[rixy]

what africans have you got terry???i can see quite a few in your pics.i'm interested to see what different species you keep together

I had to leave the phenochilus in 110 with the Tangs.​

The wide open space on the substrate in the last pic is for the furcifers, they make bowls for a nest, waiting patiently for that...havent seen one since they had to be squished together ​
