What an awesome collection! I also like how that algae looks, just as long as you can control it. It kind of reminds me of the stuff that grew on Stephen King in Creepshow. Our local fish store has tiny sidthimunkis for $20, and I thought that the price was steep. They're neat fish, though. I'd like to have them.

Hi,

I found a 3.5" diameter polietilene pipe and decided to replace old 4 PVC with 5 black pipes. Guess it got better this way. Could get a few good pictures. Starting with Mr. Big Botia:

My new sidthimunki:

And the remaining Discus:

To end this sequence, some barble green algae:

Hope you like!

Could you maybe explain how you got the algae to grow on your wood like that?

That´s a real good question and the answer is:

I did nothing!

Great pictures as always, Marcos, and nice video too. Thanks for posting and keeping us updated. But you left off the titles such as "11 loaches" for the fifth picture.

You have trained me in the past to count! There might be another nose in that picture so it could be "12 loaches".

Hi Keith,

Maybe you´re right. I counted 10 but now that you stated, there seams to have 2 loaches into leftmost pipe.

Hi,

By the end of the year I recieved a very special gift from a friend. She is a painter and she did a very cool portrait based on a photo of one of my Clown loaches. Original picture is this:

And this is the portrait:

I took it to a portrait shop to put a picture frame around it and this is how it is now:

Really beautiful.

A lovely painting, and I always eagerly look forward to pictures of your fish and tanks.

Please post a few of your Astronomy pictures in the OT.
