    Very nice indeed.
    Do the red spotted deacons breed often?

    Hey thank you! the deacons breed very often but i am thinking it must stop...
    The angels are platinum
    as for the difference between male and female deacons, the male patterns on the heads are more defined (the deacon in the last picture is the male)

    What stunning set-ups. I'm quite surprised that you still have Amazon Sword plants with your Silver Dollars, they love munching any plants. Would love to see a FTS of the tank with the baby Deacons in. How many babies do you have in there at the moment?

    NICE to finally see your setups - they look great! Your clowns make me green with envy - you must be proud of them after all the work when you first got them?

    ps: am glad I'm not the only one without a camera too! I don't know HOW people manage fishies and MTS AND decent cameras!

    Thank you tracyP and thank you for remembering the beginning phases! Yes the clowns make me very proud, they are wonderful.
    Sky, the amazon swords are being munched this is why i am looking for a home for the dollars . As for the Deacons babies, I only have 10 , still getting the hang of it but 7 are growing beautifully and the largest is almost one cm. Will probably have to sell them soon L

    What kind of filtration do you have running on your 500L tank. There are a lot of fish in there... I am wondering how many more fish I can get in my tank. :)
