Thanks, The plants were all bought from Petsmart. The Bamboo wraped aroung the drift with the Serpae tetras swimming around are Marineland 6ft pulled off the base and just intertwined into the wood. The plants on the side are from the reptile section with suction cups I stick to the sode of the glass. It does give a nice look.

Just don't over crowd the tank too much........

Beautiful tank, and those wild angels are fabulous.
I haven't had (or wanted) angels since the 60s, yours make me want to get them again.

I love Angelfish, Those are WC from the Rio Nanay. They have devloped some nice blue on the gill plates and red spots on their sides. I also have some very nice P. Liopoldi & Altum too. Thank you.
 
Angels are awesome! Have any of your Taps pairs spawned in that tank?

I was fortunate, I bought 6 Taps at 1.5" and got three males & three females that have paired so there is the right side pair the middle pair and the left side pair. I have fry about every three weeks. I have free swimming fry right now but I don't save them and don't last more than a few days.

I have 6 as well. Two pairs so far. My Green Terror and Catfish are the spawning deterrents if I would have to guess. They go through all the motions but don't do the deed.
