Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

Thank you, but mine isn't even in the same league as Kimberly's.

Certainly natural looking though, I prefer the natural look myself but both are beautiful. I've never been super into freshwater but these two tanks certainly have me thinking differently.

I got my fins wet on fresh water. I think my all time favorite tank next to my Miniature Menagerie is the pond tank I had growing up. Parents got me an acrylic tank, around 15 gallons or so. Air powered under gravel filter... the original mollies eventually died, and my parents wouldn't immediately take me to Walmart(back when Walmart sold fish) to get more... so I stocked it with fish from a pond thru the woods from their neighborhood. All kinds of stuff from warmouth to mosquito fish to a crawfish. Even had a amphibian called a siren at one point. Think axolotl, but more eel like and only front legs. I'd keep them for a little while, then take them back and catch new stuff.

That is so awesome. I grew up with a pond and a bog. Lots of salamanders, newts, crawfish and snakes.

Y'all dont wanna see my "planted" tank... water looks like coffee, but that's slightly on purpose.

Good news, my Apistogramma cacatuoides are breeding.

Are you watching? You freak. Lol

Hello new baby! Nice snout.

Had a long email conversation last night with a builder at Digital Storm computers. He was super nice and honest. Very small company of 37 employees. They seem to really care about what they build. Old school customer service. I was shocked honestly.

Best kind of company. It's what Alienware was like before Dell bought them out ;Shifty

My favorite fish. Mine is somewhere around 12 years old.

 

[Katrina71]

Ok, can y'all ID this? Fed Andrew's tank early. Never seen him before.

Limpet? Stomatella?

[Katrina71]

After looking closer, I think it's the largest stomatella I have ever seen.

 

[sfin52]

Where?
Never mind ;Facepalm

 

[sfin52]

If that's a limpet that's a big one. All of the ones I've seen are small. Leaning towards a stomatella.

Looks like a stomatella snail
