New full tank shot:

I just trimmed the plants like a week and a half ago and sold a ton of plants. I'll be trimming again soon though, as you can see.

I have 2 trios of Apistos coming next week. I'm supposed to get a trio of trifasciata and a trio of viejita. Fingers crossed that's what I get!

I'll be adding more Rummynose tetras and more Cories eventually......gotta find time and money though.

Looks beautiful, always in awe of your tanks

shade2dope · 03-26-2008, 06:58 PM

looks very nice kristen

it4lian · 03-26-2008, 07:55 PM

God thats an awesome tank. Your pretty damn good at designing planted tanks lol. Hope you get the right apistos.

trashion · 03-26-2008, 09:08 PM

Gorgeous!

JustOneMore20 · 04-02-2008, 08:59 PM

New pics!

FTS: still haven't trimmed

And, new fish!

Apistogramma viejita CFII

Apistogramma trifasciata?

Just got these boogers today, so they are a little stressed from being in the mail for 2 days. I'm not quite sure if the ID on the 2nd is correct. I ordered a trio of viejita and a trio of trifasciata, but 2 were DOA and there were 2 extras in the bags, so still figuring out just what I got.

More pics....there is life in the tank!

Corydoras hastatus

Rummies and a cory

Rummies

Rummynose tetras and Corydoras hastatus

Every time someone walks by this tank they ask "are there fish in there?". The darn things hide all the time. So, I had just put the Apistos in the tank and was trying to take some pics and the Cories and Rummies came out and were playing.

This is a rare occasion.

Ichthius · 04-02-2008, 09:07 PM

Gorgeous! I can't believe those corydoras are that small seeing them by the rummies

This tank looks so different since the beginning. Great job! *looks hard for the wood* lol

JustOneMore20 · 04-02-2008, 09:39 PM

Thanks, Leah! The wood tends to disappear between trims.

Hopefully it will be more visible when I get some plant mass out of there!

Yep, the Cories are tiny little things. Most are about an inch and some are 3/4". Alot of them were hiding, but those few were hanging out with the Rummies.

trashion · 04-02-2008, 10:06 PM

Wow, they ARE tiny! I found a LFS that may order them in for me

**Obsidian** · 04-02-2008, 10:41 PM

Looks awesome Kristin

Good Wolf · 04-02-2008, 10:45 PM

Wow! You have crazy skills. I hope my tanks look half as good once I get them finished.

JustOneMore20 · 04-10-2008, 11:36 PM

No new full tank shots. I trimmed the stem plants and they all looked hacked.

I'll give them a little bit to grow back before I take a new pic.

I do have some not so good pics of a couple Apistos though.

Tiny one and medium sized one.

And thanks to Marty (Osiris), got a few tiny albino bristlenose plecs (long fin) in there to grow out until they can move to the 55g without getting eaten by my Angel (that's how tiny!).

(the middle plant in my full tank shot, HM, is the larger looking plant in this pic

.

trashion · 04-10-2008, 11:52 PM

Awww, baby plecos.

JustOneMore20 · 04-12-2008, 05:16 PM

Few more fish pics:

My 4 Ember tetras moved into this tank the other day. I plan on getting about 6-8 more.

Apisto digging

Same Apisto

Bitty LF ABN and a big pond snail

Scuba Kid · 04-12-2008, 05:36 PM

Holy crap, Kristin! That tank is awesome!

JustOneMore20 · 04-12-2008, 06:31 PM

Thanks, Katie! I'm happy I'm finally getting more fish in the tank.......and fish I get to see everyday....lol. They are actually getting the Dwarf Cories to come out a little more often, which is awesome.

mesapod · 04-14-2008, 06:31 PM

ember tetras are so pretty. i heard they were aggresive?

JustOneMore20 · 04-14-2008, 06:48 PM

Mine aren't.

Mine are super peaceful. I haven't kept them with anything that has long fins or anything....besides the Apistos, but I've never heard they are aggressive.

Maybe you're confusing them with Serpaes? Or maybe someone had some really vicious ones.

Ricker · 04-14-2008, 08:23 PM

Hey JOM I was just checking out your tank I love it. I have a quick question though. Do you think I can keep the Apistos? Do I need anything special for them? Also will they eat cherry barbs? (as you know they are my favorite fish lol) If I get them should I try and buy them as little ones? Or would grown ones be ok.

electricblue1 · 04-16-2008, 09:07 AM
