Whoops,

EDIT: my first double post.

Very nice! I especially like the shrimp pic and the one with the rasboras swimming in front of the wisteria...such an awesome contrast with the plants looking so much greener now.

Awesome, I bet that's going to look even more amazing once the plants fill in! That's what I want to do for one of my bettas (minus the tankmates, might try an ADF or two, but he's kinda mean) but I can't find a used 10 hex and hubby won't let me buy a new one LOL.

Great picture of the ghost shrimp!

Thanks for all the replies folks.

tropicalfish: yea I should have realized how low the water level was before taking the pictures. Since adding in the heater (i guess thats the cause) I've been loosing water more frequently and haven't gotten used to it yet.

capslock: I'm seeing the plexi warping already. I'm just flipping it over every few days now so it will be back to home depot to find a nice piece of tempered glass to use instead.

Had to remove 2 of the Zebras last night. They are chillin' in a bowl with a bubble stone right now. They just have started getting very nippy and territorial with ALL the other fish in the tank. After watching both of them nip at the bettas tail yesterday for an hour I reached my breaking point. Hopefully my lps will be able to take them...

Zebras would be less nippy in a larger group

Gotcha there S-kate. Thats yet another one of my initial mistakes with the setup of this tank. :P My local place had no problems taking them in for me.
