EDIT: Seem to be having trouble with comcast, and pics aren't showing up. May have to switch to PB or something if this keeps up. Sorry.
Hello All,
Decided to introduce myself as a newcomer to Apistos. I kept fish years ago (mostly brackish and salt), but gave up the hobby about 8 years ago during a less sedentary portion of my life. Last year my daughter was begging for a pet fish, and would have been happy with a Betta in a bowl. Now I have 4 tanks running again. I decided to try freshwater this time. Sure is alot more work.
Here's some pics of three tanks I'm working on right now (the fourth is for babies) and my apologies for the quality. Bad Camera, bad photographer.
55g Bigger Fish, South Americanish:
CLick Here For A Bigger Pic
This was my first return-effort. It really looked nice once upon a time, but as my once tiny Severums and Convicts have grown they've demolished it, So I've been transplanting to the newer tanks as they rip them out. There's also a few Turquoise Rainbows, a pair of Barbs, pair of Flagfish, SAEs and Bristlenose Plecos.
40g Softish, South Americanish:

Here's Apisto Home. I got a killer deal on a pair of used 40g breeders with overflows drilled from a LFS. They both now reside on a two tier stand I built. I have 4 Cacas, 10 Cardinals, 3 Rams, a handful of guppies, SAEs, otos, and cherry shrimp. Still looking for another piece of wood that's just right. I love that big one on the right. I hadn't even noticed the apisto sized bore holes in it. Of course they found them and love them. The next piece I'll drill in a few condos.
40g Hardish, Rainbows, Guppies, Endlers:

The other 40. Just set up. Most everything came over from a 15 tall that was my wife's fav. Hated tearing it down as she loved it, and despite being poorly lit and overcrowded, it WORKED. A very pretty tank. Hopefully all the plants will do as well now. The fish certainly appreciate the extra fin-room. Occupants; 5 Threadfins, 2 endlers, a handful of guppies, otos, saes, shrimp, and one lonely male Signifer. I was shocked to find a pair at a LFS and snatched them up. Unfortunately, the female passed. Still looking for more.
Here's one of the pretty little triple red Caca males I picked up from Dave.

Here's the so-called super-red female I picked up from a LFS:
