Ok,
I just finally finished up setting up and stocking 2 new tanks. they have been running for a while before placing in the fish so things are pretty dandy now.
I have finally recieved 11 Heterandria formosa and 5 Pygmy Killie Fish Leptolucania ommata . Both incredibly gorgous fish and both under 1.5 inches.
The dwarf livebearer is in a 2.5 planted tank and boy they still have plenty of room. They are not a very large fish and are perfect for small tanks. I have now plans to get more for a mini bow i picked up. I bought a mini pc bulb for this tank and planted it with crypts. it is a very pretty tank right now. All it needs now is some fish to go into it.
As for L ommata i have them in a 5 gallon planted tank. They are a beautiful yellowish green killie, very impressive.
I am soon going to get some Gambusia affinis holbrooki The Eastern Mosquito fish. These are the black speckeled males. I find them very impressive.
Hopefully i should be able have some pics real soon of them.

Gambusia affinis holbrooki are very interesting indeed. Everyone who views my community tank seems to love them the most. Right now I have 6 in my 46g, and they seem to get along well with all of the inhabitants (contrary to most experiances). The Sailfin Mollys are more agressive in their mating behaviours than these little guys.

Your setups sound awesome. How bout some pics of the Killiefish if you can get a close up shot? :)
 
corvettekid82, your link to your tank has expired... :(
 
Yeah, my free account with Picture Trail expired. Thanks for the reminder, I'll have to create an AOL page to host my fishies for me :D I finally got a few good pics of my Madtom to put up as well. He's adjusted very well and will even swim to the top of the tank to eat freezed dried Tubiflex (his favorite) food. I just need a microlense for my digicam to get some AWESOME pics.
