hi there,

Just thought that since Im new here I'd share my tank pics with you. They're not great, and I've only got a few decent pics of the fish, but its hard to get them and I'm not great at photo's.

hi saylaveev,
your tank setup is looking good, but I think the main theme of it is not clear, can't let people make attention on it and keep it in mind, the upper area of the tank is too empty, I know you can make it more better, I love to see next time you can show us more beautiful tank and make me never forget it :D .and please forgive my rudely opinion!

The tank is a 90 gallon, it houses a african butterfly, ghost knife, 2 raf cats, royal pleco, bristlenose, 3 rope fish.

no offense taken, I didn't take the pictures at a great time, but I had the use of someone's digital camera and just couldn't resist. At that point I had only finished just getting it back up and running with fish into it. Unfortunately none of them were "swimmers". I had a school of columbian red fins in there, but they have all since died (age), and now I'm looking for ideas for dither fish that will get in there an move around.

The problem is that my boyfriend and I wanted it to be a "rare species" tank, but he doesn't understand that those "rare species" don't usually swim around the tank. I've been leaning towards silve dollars, a nice group (4 or 5) would look good and give the tank some action. Any thoughts on other fish that would act as dither fish?

I did try to get some updated pics of the tank.. but they all turned out fuzzy with my plain old camera. Eventually I'll get a digital.
