Thats pretty impressive considering you arent dosing anything... Really like the way you placed the DW so it creates a natural 3D backdrop in the corner...

Thanks, it's my pride and joy, I have I high amounts of lights on it. I end up changing it up every second month because I get bored of the look.

Those ctenopama are pretty sweet looking. I now feel like I should get one...its growing on me ugh.

I like the butterfly fish as well, those are neat. What plants do you have though?

If I may make two suggestions though, get another bichir, because one cannot have enough bichirs, and if you ever want jungle val, don't get normal jungle val, get leopard or tiger strip jungle val (same things)...I feel like the green with brown stripes would look cooler with the fish you have than just straight green.

Nice tank though, I'm digging it.

Thanks, they are awesome fish.
I've had a wild caught Senegal bichir that was about 11 inches and would eat anything, including a 3.5 inch delhenzie bichir. Ended selling him because I wanted more fish exept that one. I was looking at getting some kribs to fill in some space.
