Thumbs up or the re-decor... There is a lot more room for the fish to swim. How is your Bumblebee and aggro. I have a trio (1M 2F) and the male has since become the boss of the tank in the last week. He is completely black and chases everybody. Just a heads up since I've heard they can reach the 6-8" mark.

yea hes around 6 inches, ive seen some big ones but as far as aggression goes he does mess with anyone and noone messes with him. if i added a female bumble i think all hell owuld break loose. Hes kind of an ugly black with darkgrey stripes and not totally black, but hes one of my favs he was my first.
 
Ahhhhhhh yesssss comming together very nicely.

I have a male around the 6 inch mark also. He is not aggressive at all. I recently added a female for him and no signs of agression. He likes to turn all black. Great fish to keep.

added a black background, now its all coming together.

now i just have to get some plants and get rid of a couple fish and get a few more.
I think it would look better without the plants. Yes, getting rid of the common fish and getting unique ones is what I plan on doing too. Our tanks have a lot in common. I will try to post some updated pics of mine. Would it be okay if I put them on this post?

i like my guys, just not the 3 fry i kept from my yellow lab/red shoulder peacock mix. They are about the same color as the inside of a potato with a light hint of blue, im gonna finish growing them out just incase the do color up but as of now there gonna grow out in the pleco container for the winter, that and they are making my male YL go crazy. The rest are staying, i do need to find me a white yellow lab still.

and yea feel free to post pics!
