Great to see some native fish. I always wanted to buy an awesome chiller and put brook trout in a tank.

I never thought native fish would look so cool in a tank! Little by little my perceptions change when I see posts like this.

It's looking good.

On the left side of the tank (about the middle of the left) , coming up through a sideways "Y" in the driftwood, very long strap-like leaves with crinkled margins....what plant is that? Is that an Apon or a Crypt? It looks awesome!
