It may take a few times for them to get it right but once they do, it will happen ALOT.

I always like the natural looking gravel myself. This gravel I actually chose because its made for the planted aquariums and I plan to have my tank heavily planted when all is said and done.

When you get the Apistos breeding you will be able to sell them for a decent price, if not online Im sure there are some petstores out there that will gladly pay you for them.

Looks great btw, but ya need some green

Hopefully they breed and look great. I have a 10g tank standing by for raising fry. I hope that I can find a LFS that will give me a decent deal for them so I don't have to worry about shipping stuff out. At least it could help me pay for food and stuff in the future if I do decide to sell them.

Thank you! I'm going to be getting some green tomorrow. The LFS is closed today (small towns haha). I just hope they aren't closed for MLK day

Well tomorrow I start my search for some plants

. Here is my temporary list of what I'm looking for: hogwart, java moss, anubias nana, and some java fern. I also kinda like the looks of bacopa but I don't think my lighting is strong enough at the moment for it though.

I think I have a decent list to start off with but any suggestions for other plants to keep any eye out for would be great.

I think I'm also going to do a 25% water change tonight and turn my heater down to about 77 or 78 to get it ready for the plants and fish.
