Day 3

Hello guys!

So here is an update.....

I got 15 Cardinals they are super tiny as well as the Weitzmani Tetra. I could get the Weitzmani Tetra picture becuase they like to hide in the wood, but I would keep trying....

Unfortunately, GBA is back :dance2::dance2::dance2::dance2::dance2::dance2:... I'm going to try the Erythromycin method and hopefully would go away..

Any advise that I should be aware? Also please leave some comments...

Here are the pics.....

Here are the Cardinals look how small they are.....

Compare with the Rummies at the back:huh::huh::huh::huh:

Some random shoots!

Thanks for looking.........

Hola amigos,

Here are some shoots of the fauna. Some pictures are not good because is really hard to get those tiny tetras, plus they move really fast.

Pics.......

Black Morpho Tetras...

I love them, really interesting fish. They don't school at all and they like to stay at the bottom of the tank.

Here is the only picture of the Celestial Pearl....

I have Ember Tetras but they color is almost transparent:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:. I hope with time they would turn ember.

I would try to get a pic of them, But they are super tiny and move really fast.

Thanks for looking!

Amazing tank!

The 'scape is awesome, and the fish look great...add a black background and you'll be set!

 

[Damodred]

Love the hardscape... congrats! I agree with pappy; add a black background and it will really help set-off the plantings.
