Now I am just adding random females I find that catch my eye and still waiting to find a big piece of wood as a center piece
May 12th
I just got a 75 US Gal, 300 L and filled it up sadly I didn't realize I didn't have enough water conditioner so the tank will be a while till everyone is put in it.
It has a mix of 50 pounds of sand, 3 cups of gravel, and 3 small hand fulls of crushed coral it is set up on the ground for my sister so she can watch the fish with out getting up on a stand
It is filled with the same amount of water as my current tank for all my girls
Now we are to me finding out that I didn't have enough conditioner and leaving enough space for when I start adding more plants and decorations.

Spent all day looking for drift wood, hard wood, or any wood I could put in a aquarium that was decent size, only one place offering to order some for me and even then they said it might not come in. Was also told once the flooding is over around here I should go down to some of the river ways and look for wood which is actually tempting. But I did get a half gallon bottle of pond conditioner for $20 or £14.16.

Got my canister filter today which is 2 days early (thank god) also stopped by my local pet store during the time they were changing media and asked if I could have it since I didn't have enough mature media for all 5 levels like I thought I did (4 out of 5 is still pretty good right?) I am going to let the tank run for 2 days before switching everyone from the 20 to the 75 to make sure everything is good.
Midnight my runt of the group of girls has not been having a very easy day she has gotten stuck on the HOB filter in the 20 then chased around by one of the other bigger girls the whole time I have been trying to figure out how to put together the canister filter.
Finally hooked up and running with mature media and new (which came with the set up)
my 2 cats relaxing while the sheets are being washed and I am getting frustrated at the canister filter
May 18th
So I have given up on waiting on a few decorations and switched everyone over as well as bought a few more fish I regret not getting a pleco instead of 2 ottos who even with all the decorations out were the hardest to catch. Since I couldn't get my phone to take as good of pictures as my camera which has a very small range for pictures I did cut the tanks pictures in 3rds...
This is the main hideout for my GBR (1 female 1 male I just bought him)
As my sister calls it the fish spotting area but really I am just waiting for a big piece of wood to put there
My favorite area also called Cory Corner because if the cory aren't near the GBR they are there or trying to get food that has been placed in the tank
Both my GBR thinking that it is feeding time
The GBR with Sweety who had just noticed me and also thinking it is feeding time.
Tweedle Di and Midnight yes I do have a male in my tank but he only flares at them when they steal his food since he only eats pellets and bloodworms
One of the 2 ottos hanging out on one of my swords that floated up because my coryes keep shuffling the sand around them
Sweety and madam rose
May 23:
Full view and I know the camera makes the water look clouder then it really is but I blame the purplish
As stated in my recent comments having found it on a discount ended up being less of a blessing then I thought
This little girl caught my attention because every time I picked up another girl she flared at me so named her Joan
Sorry I can't get a good picture of her since she moves right when I take the picture and stays in my floating plants
This is sunshine (the second) this morning I found sunshine my female betta with yellow to light blue fins floating dead she will be buried under the giant oak tree
So my total count is 8 cory, 5 female betta, 2 GBR, and 2 Otto as well as a whole lot of space
Side information:
I am still waiting for few decorations.
Anyone want to add anymore to what I should put in?
