Pretty cool man cave LOL

I wish I had one like that. The closest thing I have to a man cave is a stool in the laundry room LOL.
Or taking out a chair from the kitchen to sit outside for my other fish tank.

I would personally be paying more attention to the fish tanks to the left of the TV than to the TV itself

Well those of you following my thread about the 30-gal, know that I've moved the adults up and into that tank, leaving the fry down in this 20-gal.  It's difficult to get a really good count on them, but I think there are about 20 fry in this tank.  I tried to get some pics tonight, but they are really tough, as small as they are, to get good pics of them.  This is all I was able to get tonight, it's the largest fry in the tank.

Here's a couple of new pics of a few of the fry in this tank.  They are very timid and seek refuge in their shells very quickly upon my approach.  I had to stay set for a few minutes after setting up the camera before they re-appeared and I was able to get these couple shots.  My observations tell me these fry are more easily frightened, now that the parents are absent from the tank.  I suppose the parents serve as dithers for the fry, letting them know it's okay for them to venture out...interesting.

Hi J.B.,
VERY COOL... I love the slight yellowing outline on the dorsal fin of that juvenile
COOL TANK TOO.

Thanks for the nice words, Lauren.  I'm very curious to see if these little guys keep that nice yellow margin on their dorsals as they grow; I hope so!  The pictures really don't do the actual vibrancy of it much justice.

I had to do some maintenance on the powerhead in this tank tonight, so i took the opportunity to reset the scape a little bit.  I wanted to get most of the shells into the center of the tank with the rocks and driftwood surrounding it, more like the one inspirational picture I posted.

I removed some of the algae on the shells and some of it that was on the substrate, but wanted to leave a lot of it on the wood.  The fry enjoy picking at it, and some of the smaller ones will hang out in it.

wow looks nice!
