I especially like the right hand side, I have to ask about the name, we use Threadfin as the common name over here not Featherfin?

Please tell Mike he's made one gorgeous aquascape! It's hard to see the fish against all the color, but that may be a factor of being a photograph. I would dearly love to have this tank in my living room. If only I could afford ADG.

Cheers,
Phil

There's arcuata (the bigger group) and brevipes right next to it.

No real issues, actually. Really just kind of like starting a new tank-- extra water changes, etc. No big deal.

And the fish probably are more commonly called "threadfin", but it's just a common name (Werneri rainbow is another). Threadfin, featherfin...whatever-- they are one of my old favorites.

They are a little bit "low contrast" in this tank, moreso in the photo. Very unobtrusive on the aquascape, whcih was Mike's goal on this one.

Because of your amazing photography I am trading my canon 5D to get a 1ds. Oh and amazing aqua scape as always. Look forward to seeing the next master piece.

This one looks even more amazing in person than the other tanks in the past We're constantly reminded how lucky we are in Houston.

Do you really think THAT was the difference, or may be it was just Jeff's skills as a photographer. 5D is MORE than capable of producing that shot in the hands of a great photographer.

Amazing Jeff, as always. What are those rocks, are they just algae covered or is that their natural color?
