Looks great. I like how you have the drift wood only on the left side of the tank and left the other side wide open.

I may even need to move some fish as everyone grows out.

First, My G. abalios. I have three, they are around 5" and starting to color up nicely.

Don't forget your buddy up north when you do. I keep spending my camera money on setups too. Good to know I'm not alone. It must be a north west thing..

The stand and canopy are beautiful.. Give me a call when your up this way next, I am buddies with a shop owner over in SE that sells the same wood and he has tons of it..

Now I am definitely going to have to thin things out eventually - I just picked up 3 Acarichthys heckelii and 4 ex-Cichlasoma robertsoni!

I know the robertsoni are Central American, but I've been wanting some of these for a while. I'm not going for one particular region of South America - I had fish whose native habitats span the continent. I guess now I will have to call it a "New World Community".

What it really looks like is that I need to set up a Gymno tank and a CA tank. I've got the tanks, just not the space to put them...

Thanks. I am loving the grape wood, it is really cool stuff.

Sweet setup, you should be proud!!

Thanks, fellow Oregonian!

Thanks! I can live with the old camera, but as soon as fast internet is available I'll be signing up...

Thanks! It isn't perfect by any means (my pH and hardness are a bit too high) but I try.

Tank, fish, everything is beautiful great job!

Thanks, it has been a long process but well worth it.
