Sorry about the lack of sharpness. My camera = :x
Since my last set of pics I've added an old Aquaclear 300 to filter the tank w/ my Ehiem(sp?) 203. So at 415gal/h, the 33gal tank is filtered 12.5 times/hr. :)

As suggested, I drilled some caves on the large center rock. They definatly like it.

These are great pictures...
Very nice pictures, the sharpness is very good. I like the contrast between the fish and all the red rocks. Why do you buy rocks, when you can find great ones outside, and with a bit of boiling and all sorts of cleaning, you have a free rock. The ones in the store are really expensive, and on a trip I come home with usually 200 pounds of rocks, the van really sags. I have a large backpack that i carry around all the time, and when I see a nice rock, I put it in, and so I have rocks from around the world, although none from africa :confused:

I really love the red lava rock. I have some in my tank. actually my tank has black pebbles, with red flag stone and red lava rock... but, I really need more lava rock!, and you're right it is exspensive in the store. ..... Canadian... interesting...... ;)
Nice country it is... :) hehe , it's unusually cold for this area though this year.
:bawl: burrrrrr
Glad my fish tank is nice and warm.... who wants to go swimming.... hehe

what is that last fish in the first set of photos? is it a rusty cichlid (iodotropheus sprengarae) or is it a red top zebra? i have that exact same fish and i'm trying to figure out which he is.
thanks

Ekliptix can I ask what site you use to host your pics. Or is it on your own server?
