The plants don't seem to be a problem.

Me thinks there maybe when it reaches 2 feet.

By which time I may have a bigger tank. Two tanks would be fantastic.

This is my Sailfin. it's about 6 years old.You can see clearly the damage on the tail....I don't kow how I got the idea to take this image but I like the idea. The picture is naff but I thought I'd add it all the same

This one is a look from the right hand side end in over. Quite a nice picture, in my opinion. Although it isn't magazine quallity.

I'd be concerned about the furniture you have it resting on. the tank looks great, just not sure if that furniture will be able to hold it...

I built the cabinet it's on. Its a hell of a lot tougher than the Juwel ones. I know what you mean though. The top only looks thin from its angle. But it is tough though

End view from the other end. Plec's poor tail!

...And from the front

I had a common pleco that had began to bully the sailfin. The tail is a result of the agression. I took the common away.

Unless you work at the lfs and customers constantly bring the huge ones back because it outgrew their 20 gallon

-madgap-Nice sailfin, poor guy with his tail. Just curious, are you running any co2? and What is your lighting wattage? Plants look good and healthy

Plants look good because they are new
I dont do the co2 thing yet. As for the lights? they are just the standard ones from juwels 300 range.

I have some root tabs in there from API and I put a splash of liquid ferts in once every blue moon.

Wow, well they look great. I guess no need in spending money on co2 and extra lighting if you dont need to
Thanks for posting your pics, I have enjoyed them.
