I was finally able to move my big plecos out of this tank (many sold, a few got moved downstairs) and began the work of planting this tank again. You can see what it used to be like in another thread

This is what it looked like yesterday

You can see the rainbows and a large L91 hiding in the log at the front (red and black striped tail)

Here's the hardscape: just a bunch of large driftwood

And, here it is with the plants that I have. Obviously, I need a lot more fast growing plants to be able to start a solid EI regime

Looking pretty nice Jason! I don't think that your herbies look that dull, especially in the new habitat, and definitely a male and female...:) Got yellow, orange, and green bows. Will have to see if we can get you some red ones! :)

Far left is a red tiger lotus that has been growing in a low light newt tank. Unless you mean the Anubias nana - it looks all weird bc it has been floating in that tank for over a year and turned into a ball. We'll see how fast it takes to being rooted again.

I found the fish head while on vacation 5 or 6 years ago, and it hasn't left my main tank since! I love it. :D

I think I'm going to try to expand my rainbow group internally - I've done it w the praecox, now for the others. I'd like to have about 6 of each - I figure that'd make a great display. Not sure if I'll go for red fish - going to try to add that color via plants.

Right now I have 3x 54W T5HO on there - 2 fewer bulbs than when I had it running before. I'm giving some serious thought to making it more of an open top concept with 3 or 4 12W LEDs. I'm going to have to clean the glass and get out the real cam when I do that!

Well, I guess I've done something right as I'm watching my Glossolepis wanamensis make spawning passes!

Here's the tank after a few trades with some members and an order from Spencer Jack.

When I get back from vacation, I'm going to have to move the 'Bows out to breeding tanks b/c ALL of them are spawning!
