Just wanted to share some pics of my "babies" that inhabit my 50 gal planted tank. This tank is home to a Blue three spot Gourami, Silver Angelfish, Black Skirt Tetra, Black Neon Tetra, Pristella Tetra, Otocinclus, Nerite Snails, Red Cherry Shrimp, and Bumble bee shrimp. Pictures are taken with a Canon XTI (50mm lens).

Sorry. Ive got microsword stuck in my head. Does chain sword grow fast is the question that I wanted to ask. And you already answered. What is your watts per gallon? Just as a reference for my tank.
 
That looks nice. I really like all the plants. You have arranged them very well. LOVE the little angels. I have to also say, that is nice to see somebody who keeps their baby angels in a big enough tank and keeps them with good-sized tankmates! Congrats!

Well, my angels eat/dig up my chainsword in this tank, so most of what is left is blyxa. The foreground of my 20 gal is 100% chainsword though and I found that once the plant was established and had started a runner, it grew *very* quickly- you could literally see growth daily. That tank has 2+ wpg T5 lighting. If I remember correctly, I started out with 1 chainsword plant on either side of the tank and had decent cover in about 3 months or so.

Thanks.. I keep all the biggest plants to the back so everyone still has swimming space. :)
 
You continue to impress me with your aquascaping masterpieces :)

Quick question though...how do you take the pics? I have a good-quality camera but the problem is that it's got an automatic flash so it makes the tank look like it's got no lighting, and when I turn off the flash it gets all blury...

Thanks!

I have similar issues with Canon powershot. Luckily I also have a Canon XTI which I use in the no flash mode so there is no flash glare. Comes in handy for aquarium pics!
