As you will see I still haven't mastered the arts of photography. My tank is almost fully grown in now. I am planning a partial replant and may be adding some manzanita with moss to add interest to the upper portion of the tank. As for the inhabitants, there has been a few changes. First as stated before my 2 DP died

. I still don't know the definitive cause of death, many suggestions have been made, of which starvation was one. Which brings me to my inhabitants

I am STILL battling my one billion pond snails. Stupid lazy puffers died of starvation in a friggin' all-you-can-eat buffet!

Next change, I now have a species only tank of all Chili Rasboras (Boraras Brigittae). The Ember Tetras (Hyphessobrycon Amandae) were scaring the little Brigittae into hiding so I had to make a species choice and the significantly more boldly colored Chili's won. Sorry Embers next tank: all tetras all colors? Last but, certainly not least, I have to mention the O.G.'s my ghost shrimps and otto's still doing great! Anyway, thanks for looking any praise or suggestions towards my re-scape are welcomed. The tank is definitely a work in progress still.

This is 5 weeks after initial planting

This is 8 weeks after initial planting took the picture tonight.
