Here she is, Tangky. Can I name a fish tank? 'Cause I just did. Well, fishy sort of did first. You'll see what I mean in the fourth picture.
Plants include dwarf rotala (front centre) giant anubias, and tape grass (to your right.)

This is my favourite photo so far. That plant in the front is water sprite, aka. Ceratopteris thalictroides. Pretty. It's also supposed to suck up all the excess nutrients that are causing my algae to have a party.
|
My Dwarf Anubias, aka. Anubias barteri var. nana. I'm ridiculously proud of that little plant's placement. Initially it involved thread and a lot of swearing; after a while I got the bright idea to use a bent staple to secure it to the driftwood. Voila! The result is charming.
|
That's Tangky with the camera flash on. Not so pretty now, is she. Ah well. Soon enough there will be fish to pretty her up again.
|
I got tired of cycling, so I added fish.
Heh. I'm so cute, I even amaze myself.
|
This is Elppa, the first inhabitant of the tank. She's a golden apple snail, Pomacea bridgesii. I'm very fond.
|
Look who stayed still for a photo! Isn't he a handsome fish.
|
Elppa eating a large algae tablet. This is after I added the pleco, but before I added the rainbowfish. Elppa has only been seen sporadically since the addition of the little fish. I feel kind of badly.
|
There they are, my neon rainbowfish. They're quite amazing, really. I caught them spawning today. If I'd realized that they were up to that, I would have prepared; as it was, I had to sit and watch them eat their own eggs. Dither fish brains? Not very big.
