Here's some pics of my 135 gallon tank in the living room. It's a community tank w/discus, cardinal tetras & cory cats. This is the wide view:

Another PB. That's it for now. I'm just got some 2" spotted snakeskins from John Nicholson & will grow 'em out...thanks for looking - Pete.

Very impressive display. Something for me to aspire to as my juveniles eat their heads off! ::)

Pete,

We should really get together and check out each others fish. By the way, the capitol aquarium society is being restarted. There is an organizational meeting on July 15th if you're interested.

Very nice tank and discus! ;)

One question! How do you get your background to show up so nicely?

I also see a substrate! Are you going to be planting it?

Thanks to all for the kind words. I've seen fine fish posted by many of you so I'm grateful.

Pete, you're welcome to come by anytime (I'm in Lakeway). Would definitely be interested in coming to a CAS meeting. Do you know any specifics: where, time, etc.?

Ronrca, I used to have live plants at one time...then they slowly died. :( Since the tank is in the living room, my wife refuses to go barebottom. I was thinking about plastic plants, but that'd make cleaning all the harder. The background shows up due to dumb luck, but it helps to have a decent camera (Nikon Coolpix 950).
