Not the convict, obviously, but the other little guy. Got him a few hours ago, he's been a quite happy in his new tank, exploring all over the place.
 
is that background or real plants? i would be quite happy too if that was my house
 
It's just a back ground.

That's the aquascaping, there's like another 6" on each side of it that is just bare on the sides.
 
Nice pick up! I got mine about the same size, but it was almost all black. Colors really started coming out at around 4". They eat like pigs and put on size quickly. Mine has gone from 2" to around 6" in 4 months.

You should think about using a black background to contrast against the colors of your fish.

Nice pickup btw!

I had one, it didn't look good. I just picked up a new light, so maybe it'll look different. I'll throw it on today.
