I realized its been quite awhile since I posted any tank pics or invert updates, so here goes! my aquascaping style is opportunistic, I find room for whatever I have or get in on trade, lol. I also still have a blue gravel tank, which I happen to like. I also started my 75g, not sure exactly what I am going to do with it, but it has some plants in it for now. I still have to update pics of several of my tanks, hope to add to this thread with those in teh upcoming week. So to start, the blue gravel tank:
36g corner bow with sterbai cory, cherry barbs, cardinal and neon tetras, cherry shrimp, an apple snail, and assassin snails:

10g cpd/pygmy cory tank, also some stray cherry shrimp I haven't been able to catch yet (pulled about 400 out this tank):

The start to the new 75g, very cloudy because I was too lazy to rinse all that substrate:

wow jinks i love it all, nippers are sweet too
 
I haven't kept amanos simply because they are not carried locally and not many hobbyists breed them. I doubt I will be purchasing sulawesi shrimp/snails until the collection methods are improved or they are available from hobbyist's tanks. Plus, with about 16 tanks running now, I am out of electrical outlets! I have to run an additional breaker box before I can add anymore tanks.
 
First of all your daughters are beautiful! What a nice shot.

The tanks are great. I especially like the 30 gallon. After seeing those Nerites they are the next on my "must have" list. LOL!

Do you do CO2 for your plants? Flourish Excel? I dose with Flourish Excel but I would love for my plants to be in better shape.

Keep us posted with more pics on the new 75!
