Wow its been a month with no update. I have been busy with school and my new tank so I haven't really done too much with this tank in awhile and just kinda letting it go on its own. The only thing that has really changed with this tank is I decided to put down a neon tetra that had been struggling for quite awhile. It had colors all faded and was swimming really funny and I couldn't take seeing it struggle so I used the ice water method and sent him to fishy heaven.

I think that I might take out the wisteria because it really isn't looking that great, but I may be moving very soon so if I do remove it I doubt I will replace it with anything till I know whats going on for sure.

I took some new pictures of some of my fish tonight that I figured I would share though.

The female GBR is still really stressed looking but seems to be healthy.

Here is a nice pic of my male.

And here are my 2 cardinals with the neon thats left hiding out in the back.
