Yeah birdy a saw that, I read all the journal last night and thoroughly enjoyed it, I would love to do something similar someday. I was more thinking of something that has a more broad leaf as a plant but thats just personal preference

Regards Darren

P.s. Great journal really enjoyed reading it and great research and patience

not corydoras I believe, they look like some type of sucker cat, do they grip on? or do they just scurry at the bottom?

They look like an upside down catfish. The whiskers are too long and fins are too long for it to be a corydora. They are very nice looking though. Where did you get them?

wow so after my alien encounter, I destroyed my scape. I decided that I didn't like the lay out that much. LOL so I respcaped it for the 20th time! I think I like this layout a little better it evens out the tank and gives the fishes more room to swim back and forth. They seem to like it.=D

I just got to mess around with it a little more and find better places for some of the driftwood. I cant wait to get the light fixtures so I can get the plants!

Ill have pictures up tomorrow. Its time for me to get ready to party! Cheers everyone! have a safe and fun friday night
