A thread for the 150 menagerie and surrounding madness.

Thankyou, Schiz!:thm:

Ya, i agree mark, for some reason all my tanks end up gettin that way around them. I have quite a terrible case of ADD and everything usually ends up near my tanks, they tend to distract me pretty easily. Seems like fish are about the only thing i can concentrate on,:laugh:. as you can see from this tank, i also have an issue with decisiveness, i never want to leave anything out, maybe i'll get control of that soon! I guess this one is a shrine to the iguana, baby D (Deicide).

so, i am sortin thru pics, tryin to organize folders and lo, i found some more of this tank. Holy crap i went pic happy! i hope some one is enjoying this! I know its a bit overkill, but what can i say, sorry.

okey, a few more an i swear i'll stop, lol! that last set was feedin time, almost everyone comes out for that. they got emerald entree that time. I am considering rehoming the kissers, and possibly the rams. i havent made up my mind completly yet. i may jus sell the two 10s an pic up a 55 for them, we'll see what happens. the kissers have begun to get a taste for plants so i guess they def need to be moved and since the rams are courting or whatever, they are a bit too active for this tank. also, i think i may trade the little orange male sword for a red velvet female. so heres the last of this round o pics. agin sorry some come out so blurry, its hard to tell with thumbnails which are clear and not.

Holy Ansel Adams that is a ton of photo posting! Great looking tanks... I really like the changes you made to the hardscape. One suggestion for the future might be to keep the substrate a more uniform color in any given portion of the tank; to my eyes, it helps give the tank a feeling of more depth (yours already look looooong).

I'm sure Bk has even MORE frogbit should you need it LOL.... :thm:

here are some updates. i got zebra nerites, bumble bees, MTS and ramshorns from msjnxd. some plants from bk and cap. I decided to separate the red velvet platie and put him in a 10 w/some females all to his self. I got some new guppies and platies, otos, plecos, and female sword. I did a major overhaul to the tankscape, hope you like it, LMK. I think it looks a lot more natural.
