I haven't taken many pictures of this tank because i have been battling a fungus that came from a bn pleco that I didn't qt. Well after a few months of treatment and a sump upgrade (my first) I am happy with the tank and heaLth of the fish. So now I can share my tank with everyone. There is 6 ebjd,1 jd(spawned in house),1 female pink con,3 yoyo loatches,3 clown loaches, 1 marble loatch,2 tiger barbs, 2 tinfoil barbs ,and a bn pleco. I only have my camera phone so bare with me. There will be a lot more once I get a better camera.

Great looking tank. Out of all of them in there I thought that tank looked amazing when I saw it. Perfect dimensions for what is in there.
Fish looking happy as usually.

Thanks it gone through a lot since you were here. I re did the full length spray bar and re directed them to spray left to right at the surface. Then the sump so I can atually say all tanks are filtering 10x over.

Haha well all good changes! You are just like me. Always trying to rework something and get a little more out of it. I am sure that by now Home Depot thinks I build PVC pipe bombs, after all of the PVC I have hauled out of that store...

Tell me about it , the people in the plumbing department know me pretty well from going in there so many times. Plumbing trips are never a one time deal. Lol

Yes they are but hard to find over 3" because they are not as hardy as their counterpart under three inches. They also grow at half the rate.

Thanks a bunch but I did buy ten in total. 1 was already 6" and the rest were between 1"-2". The rest died of the normal Ebjd curse. They were fine and healthy with no signs of stress or illness and I would find them dead with no nipped fins or anything out of the ordinary.

Awesome. I know blues are usually not as aggressive, how do they all get along in there?

Pretty good. The biggest is 7" and the smallest is 3" I did have one a bit smaller but it got picked on because it was too small. The dithers don't seem to matter the biggest blue will kill a tiger barb once in a blue moon lol! Other then that they semi school for the most part.

Thanks my goal is to get a bigger tank and house as many as I can. Regular jds can live 20+ years so I would shave some years off but its a work in progress.
