Lol alot of these angelfish and plants look very familiar.

Doesn't it always happen lol.

They look nice... when are you going to put together the next 7 planted tanks?

JK.... I like the tank that you have all the hair grass in....

Well I don't know if I can handle anymore planted tanks right now lol. I actually do have a few that have some other live plants in them but nothing to show for :rolleyes:

Thanks, I love that tank too. I was pondering whether to get it ready and enter it in the 2009 aquascaping contest or not.

I hear ya. ;)

Thanks for asking about the fish, I'm trying to stick with a Rio Negro/Orinoco theme (blackwater) so I'm going with rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi), cories (not sure which yet, likely metaes, melinis, adolfo's or sodalis ) and tetras (leaning towards Red Phantoms/ Hyphessobrycon sweglesi, still may go with Cardinals/Paracheirodon axelrodi).

Excited... is an understatement. :rolleyes:

Heres my 20g. I recently broke down a 50g and downgraded it to the 20. I wanted to keep it simple with very few different species of plants. So far just Hemianthus callutrichoides, Hemianthus micranthemum, Pogostemon helferi and some unknown plant that Aquaflora nurseries was selling as Alternathera reineckii which it most surely is not(back left). Can anyone ID this for me?

Inhabitants are threadfin rainbows, a lonely furcata rainbow and amano shrimp.

These are my tanks. A 75 with mbuna and a 90 planted. I have to scape it but the general layout is staying the same. I've been collecting plants and they are just scattered about. Please ignore the mess!!
