very nice How often do you clean the glass on the bottoms of your tanks? they look really clean, it seems to me i would have too go with less deco so i could get to most of it and clean it once or twice a week during a water change. wouldnt that stress the fish? prolly not any more than a regular water change and gravel clean would do. your fish look great too bud. how are the RTMs together?? any signs of pairing? i know these guys are abe to pair off at that size and spawn, kinda wanted to see yours pair off real quick since mine are a lil behind yours in growth lol but keep the videos comin

The glass bottom tanks for the most part I have a pleco in there and more or less never clean the bottom. The tanks that dont have plecos I would have to clean them...so I am going to try to have a pleco in every one. I will see how that works with spawning. As for water changes I have a mag 9.5 (soon to be 18) on a garden hose and I pump it out and I have 5 55gal containers with water waiting to be pumped back in. I clean the filters when they start to get clogged and float up (aqua clears mostly). I also have been painting the bottom of some of them black so the fish act better and cant see though the glass. Black makes the fish a little darker tho...some its ok...my ornatums might go on a tan painted bottom in there bigger tank.

I think the RTM are pairing up...they show interest through the divider and she will get some slight black bars down the top. I will see how it goes like this for a while before I try to let them tango. I just put the divider and pulled the other 3 that were in there.
