I wasn't sure if these belonged here or not, but here they are:

Nice pictures!! The rams look great.

 

[Zagz]

Looking good JC. The serpaes look like they are following the rams around. Kind of like school kids on a playground. The pleco is showing really fantastic definition! Superb

Hey J, is that a pair of baby plecos on the ground in the second picture? Looks good, you've got a jungle.

 

[BlazerFRS]

Are those tall plants your L. repens? man they're huge!
Lookin great J chillin.

Great pics, JC. Plants are growing like a jungle, rams look fantastic, baby BN plecs are getting big, and ClLiff is just taking life in stride!

 

[Jchillin]

Thanks for the kind words everyone. Actually, I skipped the "Amazon bio-tope" in place of the "Amazon Jungle" theme. From the looks on the fish's faces, I think they agree.

Indeed they are...baby bristlenoses to be precise.

Are those tall plants your L. repens? man they're huge!

Yes they are. Don't ask me how or why they've been able to grow so tall in a low-light environment...I really don't have an answer.

Very nice L. repens Bill. That stuff is healthy! I love the contrast of the rams against the jungle background

 

[crazycat]

what a nice looking tank! the first word that leapt to mind was "jungle" but then everyone else said it...so i wasn't going too...but it looks so darn jungly!!! your fish are beautiful too! and i DO love that big ol' plec!

 

[BrianNY]

Healthy looking Java fern too.

Very nice I like it

I suggest maybe changing the substrate later to get a more natural look!

Perhaps you would like to be added to the list of folks who need to speak with my boss.

Seriously though, that is currently in the planning stages. The boss was actually looking through the Drs.FosterSmith catalogue and likes the brown/beige gravel now.

I might just be gettin' the vapors over that one.... have you been using subliminal messaging techniques on her or something?

The tank looks great, and now that I have my firewall adjusted properly I can finally see pics for the first time in weeks!

To be frank, the blue has grown on me. I love how many rules and pre-conceptions you debunk on this tank

No subliminal messages...I was floored when she suggested it.

Now you tell me.

IMO the blue and green is a nice look; but the natural look is much much nicer.

I don't even notice the pebbles with the rams nd plants in there
