Here is my 10 gallon tropical, soon to be heavily planted. Right now all its got are some elodia and a fake plastic plant. Stock is 3 zebra danios, for cycling. 2 of them came to me from the LFS "deformed". One has what seems like a blind eye. Its white and grey looking. The other is missing one gill cover. The gills are there and seem to be working (they are red and are moving), but the flap is completely gone. Oh, well, they will end up as cichlid food when the cycling is over.

My little "mountain": a PCV T joint with sand siliconed on, and various pieces of rock siliconed on top.

What do you think? Yes I know, it needs a backround.

i had a tough time trying to get my zebras too.....try feeding them and while the are eating get them with the net. or the best way i have ever caught a fish....let them go to sleep for about an hour and when they are still asleep turn the light on in the room and they will not try to swim away at ALL!!!!!!

by the way the tank looks GREAT!!!! good luck!!!
