I have finally got things pretty well finished. Thank You to everybody who offered advice and suggestions.

I have the water chemistry pretty well behaving - it has been almost two weeks now, and things still look stable. It hadn't done that before. I changed to real plants, and I have switched from flake food to pellets since the fish were attacking the large flakes and crumbs were going everywhere. I have changed around my fish line-up and much more attention is now paid to bottom feeders.

The Clown Loaches are a trip! A few of them had an identity crisis of sorts this afternoon and were shoaling with my red tailed shark.

I attached a small picture of the tank as it is today. I just hand held the camera in a dark room to reduce reflections. That is also why I used a higher camera angle. Hard to see any of the fish because of the small pic, and the really slow shutter speed required. But you get the idea. :)

Thank You. It really finishes the room... I watch the tank more than the TV.

anything that gets us away from the TV is ok, IMO :)

that looks good,

although I would caution you that the sword plant will have to adjust to being under water and will grow new leaves and the exsisting leaves which are above water leaves will start looking aweful befor it looks better overall

but just have patience and it will work out.

Just think... no ads, no infomercials... you get drama, comedy and your soaps all in one! Lol :D
