thought I'd take some more pics... yesterday I raised the waterline by about 2-3 gallons... with the goal of creating a little more swimming room and giving the plants a bit more light.
thanks! there's actually 2 red and 1 black crystal red shrimp in there, as well as 3 or 4 red cherries and 2 amanos... but they do a good job of hiding! I also have a black crystal red in my 10 gallon, that I've only seen twice in the last 3 weeks.
