Finally have some pictures of my little devils... I had to resort to flash; they're just too quick!

The tank.

My buried man on the right side of the tank and the swirling school of rummynoses.

Rummynose close-ups.

The pearl gouramis (without flash).

With flash.

My platies (a trio of guppies have been hanging out with them -- for now).

This one was a blue mickey mouse like the rest of them, but has been turning red/orange.

The loaches.

Dang, not quite steady on this non-flash pic.

Thanks for the comments!

As for the massive rock thing... at first I was wondering rock formation you all were alluding to... the mound of pebbles in the front center? No, couldn't be. The haphazard cave for the bristlenose on the left front of the tank? No, I don't think so either. I finally realized that you all were asking about the weird large pieces of wood... It's wood, not rock; those pieces are extremely light and holey; it's cypress wood that has been mounted to slate. The LFS I bought it from said they got these pieces from a guy who likes to scuba dive and that the wood comes from a freshwater lake. The cypress wood is apparently very holey due to being worm-eaten. Maybe I should take close-ups off it.

Anyway, no worries about it falling over. Both pieces are screwed into one long piece of slate buried in the sand.
