I finally got around to re-painting the wall with plain white. I think that this sets up a much better contrast for the foliage. Here's a quick shot of just the emersed area.

Hey thanks. I just got done getting a few full-tank shots and I hope to format them and get them up soon.

I can't stop taking pictures of these plants in the 50-gallon, especially with the Cyrtosperma johnstonii looking so good. Here's another view...
...and detail cropped from that picture.

I have gotten a bunch of new pictures that last couple of days and now I am trying to wade through them. Here is a quick in situ shot.
The Ilyodon furcidens dropped a bunch of fry and I have pictures of that too...just need to format them.

hydrophyte, you have an excellent eye for how to lay out your tanks and a real knack at getting them to grow healthy and beautiful!
Hey thanks. I wish I could say I know what I'm doing.
I finally got some video of this tank--I have been meaning to do so for some time. Here's the YouTube link to the first file that I uploaded.

I need to work on this some more. These first videos that I got are all very grainy and I don't know why. This one gives you an idea of how crazy the fish get anyway when I throw some food in the tank.
The display is currently stocked with one Cryptoheros cutteri, five Ilyodon furcidens and seven Synodontis lucipinnis.

I got another video loaded. Here's the link...

It seems that video has even more of that bright glare washing out the foliage in the emersed area. I have this problem with still photos too, although it's less severe. I need to look into fixes for that.
