Thanks, Rb!
Thanks, LeahK! Yep, his blue iridescence really makes him stand out. He's even brighter in person - so hard to get good pics! Sometimes he's positively neon.
Cool stuff
Thanks for the compliments, everyone!
You have some really nice tanks and fish. "V" is a beautiful color; you don't see that color very often.
I have Celestial Pearl Danios with Endlers as well.
Thank you
Yes, I thought he was white when I bought him - turns out he was just stressed out. I like this "color" better 
I love my CPD's... wish I could get females to breed them! My Endler girls have been preggo forever - I give up trying to second guess when they will pop. The boys crack me up with their wooing ways.
LOL, well you're "The" V... he's just V. The lesser of two great beings.
What about HM? Can't remember the actual name off hand... it's called Pearlweed. It's pretty - a mini stem plant that really gives great scale. You'll probably have to trim often once it takes off, tho. Check out The Planted Tank forums if you haven't already - tons of ideas! I recommend any of Ugly Genius' tanks, or CL, Craigthor, aw heck - you'll find many I'm sure.
Thanks, I'm glad you think so!

I'm glad everyone is enjoying the pics!
Here's some of V that I found super-cute. I had just put the small anubias nana into his tank.
The light is so bright today...
I must rest under this lovely canopy...
Oh, I think I'll take a nap...
Hm, perhaps he's worried about sunburn?
:hearts:

Hi, Juice! Yep, he's the one! I turned down the flow on his filter all the way... so I'm hoping he'll blow another nest. Perhaps he needs more mirror time to work himself up. :grinyes: Glad you like the pics!
Beautiful betta and nice tanks. I think I may have figured out the aggression problem with your betta. I'd be scared too, if I had a giant gargoyle statue that was about 20 times my size staring at me at all hours--LOL.
Great work on tankscaping.

I'm baaaack!
Hi again! Did the digicam download tonight - guess what that means?? :grinyes: More pictures!
Finally, some decent pics of my Endler's (double red chest, I believe)!
FTS - before the boys were moved and I rescaped a tad.
And FTS as it is today:
The water sprite was a impulse buy yesterday, as my favorite lfs had been having trouble getting the plant in - I jumped at the opportunity. It's great for the fry, and I like the brightness it lends to the tank. Too bad my camera wants to make it glow neon!
It looks messy/cluttered... but that's partially because I have fry! At one point I had 8, but nowadays I see 5 or 6.
I also picked up 3 more c. habrosus after discovering them on a different lfs run last weekend (it was supposed to be for dechlor and frozen food only!)... so I'm up to 8! The tank is definitely much more active now. The cories school more up front, which makes me happy. Now if only they'd sit still so I can take pics of them in groups rather than singly.
The three are young... here's the littlest guy - that's an MTS (in the second pic) in front of him that's about 1/2".
I made this vase thingy with some leftovers. The plan was to give it to my parents to woo them into letting me set up a tank at their house... but I really like it!
:
It never fails to thrill me when the plants pearl - even if it's because you just dumped in new oxygen-rich water.
And one last pic of V with his new Water Sprite plant. I am very happy with how clear this picture came out - especially as V was not my intended target! Enjoy the iridescence!

Thanks! Your pics are so much better
: but I appreciate the compliment!I was hoping the gargoyle would make him feel less omnipotent... :lipssealedsmilie: But perhaps that wasn't the best idea. :headshake2: Anyways, I moved it so he has a better view of the kitchen. Thanks for the compliments!
