55 Gallon Sorority Tank

[lisie]

I posted photos of this tank a while back, but today when I did a 75% water change I took out the "breeding grass" stuff that used to be in it, because some of the girls were ripping their fins on it (it's not made of nice "soft" plastic like the other plants in there). Also, I moved my 5 green HM girls in and have some otos.

Before:

Now:

Sorry the pic is so small. Stupid photobucket resized it, but you still get the general idea. I actually think it looks better now. What do you guys think?

And of course some pics of the girls, taken a while ago, obviously before the grass stuff was taken out. There are 19 total: 14 red cambodian VT/CT "mutts" and the 5 green HM girls.

I started with 8 otos a couple months ago and now these are the only two left. Stupid people that catch them in the wild and poison them with chemicals. <_< I need to get more but I don't want to get them from a pet store. So I dunno.

That tank is gorgeous, and so are the gals!

I have to know, where did you find the low ferny stuff? I've been looking for short, real-looking plants for a while now with no luck.

I got it from Foster & Smith. I ordered way too much of it, and have 2 big squares left (I only used 1 1/2 squares for my tank) that I've been meaning to send back. If you want it I can sell it to you, but it'd be for basically as much as they're selling it for, so you might just prefer getting it from them... although shipping would be cheaper and you wouldn't have to pay tax. Or I can sell you the used stuff for much less of course.
