Simply gorgeous. You have quite a flair!

JustOneMore20 · 04-02-2008, 10:09 PM

New pics!
FTS: still haven't trimmed

And, new fish!
Apistogramma viejita CFII

Apistogramma trifasciata?

Just got these boogers today, so they are a little stressed from being in the mail for 2 days. I'm not quite sure if the ID on the 2nd is correct. I ordered a trio of viejita and a trio of trifasciata, but 2 were DOA and there were 2 extras in the bags, so still figuring out just what I got.

Any ideas on the 2nd? I'm pretty certain the first is a Viejita. 2nd looks different so I'm guessing its a Trifasciata, but not sure on the sex of either. The others were hiding.

More pics....there is life in the tank!

Corydoras hastatus

Rummies

Rummynose tetras and Corydoras hastatus
Every time someone walks by this tank they ask "are there fish in there?". The darn things hide all the time. So, I had just put the Apistos in the tank and was trying to take some pics and the Cories and Rummies came out and were playing.

This is a rare occasion.

I have some ideas. I want to trim the wallichi into a rounded bunch....if that makes sense. I haven't been able to achieve that in the past, so I'm trying again. I want to make the Bacopa shorter, since I'm leaving it in there and its in kind of the mid-ground. The colorata doesn't color up until it gets near the surface

but I'm going to just trim it down like it was. The HM will be mowed as well....hopefully shorter than before. That stuff makes a mess when trimmed though.

I'm going to try to expose the driftwood a bit more than it is now. Alot of people tell me that they'd like to see more wood in the tank.

It unfortunately gets covered when the plants grow in.

Fantastic design. You've really got a knack for aquascaping.

I thought you had driftwood!?

Great looking tank. I love the apistos.
