The kribs that spawned in october are at it again, but this time it looks like they just might use the coconut cave in the corner instead of the amazon sword that they used last time. If you look hard enough you'll spot a small krib fry. I'm not sure which set of kribs it belongs to, since I've now got two spawning pairs in this tank. When I did my last spot of maintenance on the canister filter, I pulled about a dozen live krib fry out of one of...

The peace lily is actually visible in this shot, and if you look hard enough, you can see the giant vals at the rear of the tank. My original thought had been to plant them all along the rear of the tank, to provide a sort of backdrop. I hadn't anticipated them growing like mad, and blocking the light. Next time I'll just paint the back black. There are three generations of platies in this photograph...

I've become aggressive about pulling out at least one Giant Vallisneria every week, but I might have to up that to three every two weeks, because the current schedule leaves them enough time to grow long enough to shade the left third of the tank. It's a fine line to draw really. On the one hand, I really like the look of the giant vals, and at auction they have been selling for $3-4 a piece for me, w...

This is the better part of three weeks worth of Wisteria, Anacharis, Hornwort, Red Hygro, Red Ludwigia, and Baby's Tears clippings. There's a platy in this picture too. Can you see him? Actually, since that original August picture, this tank has served as a plant grow out tank, a hi-fin platy breeder tank, a shrimp tank...

I had been intending to use it as a quarantine / isolation tank, but I found myself with a few extra plants. Unlike the 55, this tank has a black painted background. Asthetically, I think I like this look a little better, but in the end it didn't matter much because...

The water wasn't really as yellow as it appeared in this shot. The white balance on this photo was simply way off. Fauna: (6) Platies - Xiphophorus maculatus (1) Bristlenose Pleco - Ancistrus spp. (!) Male Crowntail Betta - Betta Splendens (3) Female Bettas - Betta Splendens (12) Apple Snailes - Pomacea Bridgesii (Several) Guppies - Poecilia reticulata Flora at this point consists o...

The wisteria in the back has been trimmed back, and the smaller anubias have been removed.
