this tank has a mind of it's own...

I bought a very interesting background for this tank, when it was 1st restarted... today I can't honestly see any of that background... the plants have taken over

It looks great Man ! That’s the goal isn’t it ? To have the natural elements make the aquarium natural ?

Cool . Do you see that green iridescent color in them too or is that just that particular picture ?

 

[Magnum Man]

I think the Males have more color...a member here, from a picture, said mine was a female

I have 7 of them now the size of saucer plates. They're idiots maybe I'll take them back to the store i got them from and grab some of the Tigers later. I've honestly been contemplating getting rid of my 180 because I want to use the space for more breeding tanks. Only reason I haven't yet is because I have some loaches I've had for around 14 years now since they were babies. My biggest one is 9" and I feel horrible thinking about giving them away to someone else

these are still in stock....

That's a good sized silver dollar. Whatever country came up with that name, I wouldn't want to trip and fall in a canal with a pocket full of their change.
