Just a heads up to the person with the loach that the tank may be a little to small for the feller.

How can you even tell the size of that loach's tank? Unless you are referring to the clown loach & betta.

Clown Loach and Betta are in a 6 gallon. Way overstocked. Like this: http://www.thatpetplace.com/images/p...ion/P17068.jpg

The link to the web cam I have on this tank: http://76.17.182.161:8081/

It will only work when I am broadcasting. Otherwise, It will not load.

Why is a Clown Loach in a 6 gallon tank in the first place?

The one of the YoYo is spectacular! I wish our loaches held still long enough for us to get good pictures more often

I'm more of a fan of the silver dollar but the red empress is clearly the better pic.

Looks like the loach ran away with the win, very nice photgraphy used there. Question, is the POTM submission start at the beginning of the month or does voting start at the beginning.
