This picture is actually a little better. I had the shutter speed way up there, and since plants don't move to fast I changed the shutter. :D

Wow what a list! And small fish in big well looked after tanks, they must be very happy fish!
Definably looks better in darker light though (the first picture compared to the second). It makes it look more in-depth. Your tank must be beautifully balanced and aged, i have never had luck with otos yet you have 13!!
Also, you should get some more friends for your lone hatchet.

Great setup!
Good stuff!
 
That is one gorgeous tank WyldFya:thumbsup:

He had 5 friends, but they jumped ship back when they were in a covered 55. Now in an uncovered 135 they don't jump out...
