OK, I've been away a while and thought I would update this thread with a few new pictures. I've got some new plants I'm working on and I thought I'd also throw in some pictures of my Africans mugging for the camera even thought it's a little OT. The plants get way too much exposure so I figured I give the fish a little face time
This is
Crinum calamistratum, a variant of water onion that is growing like gangbusters. I just love the way the leaves drift and curl. Some of the leaves are over two feet long:
This is a big bush of Narrow Leaf Java fern. It is pretty wild but makes a nice mid-ground cover plant:
Here's a pic of a juvenile
Pseudotropheus demasoni that I call El Tigre because of his markings. Mean little squirt
:
This is Filbert, one of my
Labeotropheus fuelleborni OB. He's got some beautiful mottled coloration and is quite a nice guy too
:
A picture of Lupe, my large female
Pseudotropheus acei. She's got great yellow contrast in her fins if my camera could pick it up properly:
And finally, a closeup of Lurlene, a
Labidochromis caeruleus. She is my tank's equivalent of trailer trash. She's always carrying around a new mouthful of eggs. Almost all of the
L. caeruleus fry in the tank are her kids
OK, I'm done wasting your bandwidth . . . for now
