here's an updated FTS. THe only thing that's ever been trimmed in this tank is Dave's stellata, that stuff grows like mad.

Nice Neilan. I think you finally have enough plants in there. Not it just needs some fish.

Oh its awful....totally the worst ever

Looks good....are the swords near the front all going to stay small or are they going to take off on you?

The one on the right is going to get large, for now it looks good, but I expect it to take off at some point and have to be moved.

The other 2 center and left are temple plants that I just had I threw in there. Don't really know what they're going to do, one isn't looking so good right now, so I may just pull them.

Yes, it needs fish - I know. I have a selection of stuff in another tank that will make it's appearance soon. With the Ich I received I'm treating them in their current housing so I don't have to heat up this tank to do it. running the UV on this tank for a while and will continue after they're in for a bit to ensure this tank stays clean.

What I have queued up to come in is the remainder of the zebra otos, 3 adult Boesmani rainbows, and the 7 Dwarf rainbows I got from Viktor at the February meeting. Searching for furcatas and blue tetras to finish off the current stocking plan.

After completing the Ich treatment in my "storage" tank last weekend, today was time to move in some new inhabitants.

Here's some shots from just after lights on. Only 1/2 of the lighting is on during these photos.

In no particular order....

The Boesmani's really tripped me out. Especially the large male (the one in most of the shots). I've had them for a year now. All the photos I've seen of B's they're deep blue and orange, but mine have always been silver and orange, with occasionally going a little bit blue. Not anymore it seems. What causes the difference in colors?

Nice fish man. The fish coloration could be because of different bulbs? Or maybe it's just happier in its new home.

Lovely fish. I like your lace plant too.

wow, forgot about this thread. I got busy and let the tank go to crap. I'm slowly now trying to get it back into shape. I'll snap some pics tonight, but you won't like what you see.
