Really nice 40 breeder! How come your tank has a slight yellow tint to it?

Thanks, it's from the leaf littler I have in there. There's also some diatoms from the sand that give it more of a brow/yellow tint. I was going for a natural look so I just left it.

The Xiphs aren't all that special really, they aren't really coloring up.

That's unfortunate :/

They were an experiment from this summer now they are dithers/target fish so no great loss. I may replace them with Xiphophorus Nezahualcoyotl "El Salto" or another small sword eventually.

Are you using IALs, oak leaves, or something else?

Heh, we just got a starter colony of nezzies, still young so not a ton of color yet. They seem to be a lot more "personable" than some of the other wild swords we've kept. I really like them so far.

I'm using Indian Almond Leaf just because it's easy for me to buy in bulk. I love nezzies, just don't have the space for everything I want.

My 90g tank with Red Head Tapajos, a Rotkiel Severum, a pair of rams (for now), and some Congo tetras for dithers. I used to put katappa leaves on the bottom but have ceased doing so because I have to unbury them every day because the Red Heads spit so much sand on them haha. But I loved the look of it so I may return to that in the future. I'll post a pic from when the leaves were in too.
