Nice Shelly. Looks like you put the Disney castle in there

Hit me up when you're ready for a pattern

We are working on the colors of the fish and I will be sending them to you sometime soon. We also picked up the beads this weekend. So getting closer to making the doors.

Wow, that looks clean!
What substrate?
And big plant on left?
Man, your kid beat me on my castle idea, now I gotta do something else different!(and even at my age it's OBVIOUSLY a dragon castle!)

davocean, that is an anubias.

**davocean** · 03-17-2009, 08:15 PM

I thought it looked like what I have, but much bigger.

The substrate is black sand for freshwater and yep the plant is an anubias

davocean, that is an anubias

Yep

I thought it looked like what I have, but much bigger.

It is a big fat one, which I really like and paid the rediculous amount of money on.

ask Jen to take a pic of her anubias...the darn trunk is a few feet long! There are pygmy/mini verisions, and large versions. I've seen them about 1" tall and about 18" tall, and everything in between. pretty plant, but grows slow. if you've got snails, watch out. tough for it to regenerate.

The tank looks great! I am glad to see it is getting good use!

**davocean** · 03-19-2009, 03:17 PM

I have a couple Anubis, and doing well, see new growth.
Not familiar w/ excel, or flourish?
