    Very nice little assortment you have in there


    You have a black knife ghost in there!!
    if that's what I'm thinking it is...a black ghost knifefish then he'll need a 50g minimium and will get to be 1 foot 6 inches max.

    and the ropefish will need at least a 55g and will possilbly max out at 2 foot 11"

    Yes there is a Black Ghost Knife and a Rope fish in here... everyone in here is waiting to move to their new home in the new 50 Gallon Tank (in my signature)... (Just have to find a home for the current tenants that are there)

    @ Anthony, the cave shots show the Ghost Knife and the Rope fish... they currently seem to be sharing the cave.

    BTW, if a MOD could please delete my accidental double post of the full tank above that would be great... seems strange to me that I can only edit my posts for a short time.

    Yes it is... now that everyone in here has moved to the 50G there is a male and a female bristlenose. We love them... we have standard bristlenose in the cichlid tank and the albino in the community tank.
    *(not sure if I should start a new thread for the tanks now that they have changed around or just continue the same threads with new pictures in the middle of the thread. Any suggestions?)*

    Continueing on the same thread is probadly better. Since the site wont get flooded with topics that will eventually make it slower :)

    So since it was decided that continuing with the same thread was for the best... This tank has been cleaned out that the tenants have moved over to the 50G Tank.

    All Clean:

    Now to get this one ready for the cichlids... I'm going to attempt a sand bottom in this one... I like the look but haven't done sand yet... here goes nothing.

    Well it's now been a few days and we're cleared up and running again. Used the water from the old 10G and part of it's filter to give things a jump start...
