Thanks everyone for the really nice, positive comments!
That Bolivian is pretty special huh, good old Czech breeders.
Maybe a brief history of my break into the hobby. I started out with a ten gallon, which is technically an 8.8 gallon or something silly like that:
That was my first ever tank, I thought it would also be my ONLY tank. How short sighted that was! I got that about 1 year and 1 month ago, or around that.
This was my next tank:
First attempt at Nano-Tanganyika tank:
First Malawian tank with First attempt DIY stand and hood:
Better tank shot (sorry if you've seen it already):
First attempt at a more serious planted tank - before first prune:
After the first prune and some organising:
So one quickly turned into two, two turned into 4, the 4 weren't big enough so they turned into 2 big ones, now I'm at a nice range from 10-20-40 and 55 gallon tanks, I may be moving to the States (I have my SS and Greencard) but if that's delayed I'm after an 8ft tank and that will be done as an Amazonian biotope. I can't wait. Even better if I do move - in the States your tanks cost about 1/4 of what they do here.
So then, I guess you could say I was hooked, definitely an acute sufferer of the MTS (multiple tank syndrome).
Here's an Odessa barb, crap picture I need to practice with this guy, manual focus, OH flash, onboard for fill, ISO 100 f22 1/200th etc.
I will get some pics of the Taeniatus females later, as promised.
Thanks again everyone for the nice comments. I've been looking at some of your tanks and they look great. I can tell we get some overspill here with the MFK's lol.
