Here are a few pics of some residents in my 55g community. Not exactly big fish, but it is all my Mom will allow...
New camera, it needed a workout :D. I have more pictures of my fish than my family...:shakehead

Enjoy!
 
Boy thats a chubby little ram!
Nice tank though I like your aquascape!
 
Nice snails and kerri. What do you feed your snails? The white tip on the spire of the purple makes me think it could be damaged by lack of calcium.
 
I like it, it's a great start!

Thanks. (kerri? :confused: what is that?)
The purple I bought from someone else, the damage was already there. I feed zuccini, green beans, algae wafers, etc. I occasionally give a pure calcium tablet (which is mobbed...) and liquid calcium. None of those I hatched show "erosion".
 
Your tetra that was called emperor is a kerri tetra (Inpaichthys kerri). The Nematobrycon palmeri does not have the adipose fin which the kerri does. Ahh..I see about your snail. It's a shame it was almost perfectly beautiful but the spires cannot repair themselves.
 
Nice start. Most started with community and then went monster, it's coming.
