Thanks FLESHY!

So you shoot speargun? I have been wondering about trying that out. It looks like fun. I know a guy who does real well in the lakes here around Madison.

Scott Otey? He is a big name that does a lot of work down there in the madison area. And yes...I spend a lot of time spearing in central WI and door county.

Oh I don't know Scott Otey.

These lakes around Madison are full of fish.

Here is a quick shot from last night. I added some underwater plants.

looks like a cool build so far.

Thank you!

Here is a close up with those black phantom tetras.

I think that this is a male and a female. The little evil eye marking on their flanks is spooky.

My little Pilea nummularifolia plants are looking good. I have these stems planted on Nano Trellis Rafts.

This plant is really perfect for growing this way. It makes a nice and tidy foreground feature and it's an easy grower.

I also got a quick full tank shot the other day. I had hung up a white sheet as a temporary background--foliage does not look so good against that tan wall.

I am considering just giving that section of wall a coat of white paint while I have this tank set up.

The white definately makes everything pop. Its lookin good. Do you only have two Black phantoms?

 

[hydrophyte]

Thanks so much Duffey.

There is a little group of four phantom tetras.
