Is there anything you actually add or do you just let things run as they do?

Congratulations, bullisbm! 
It is such a great feeling when you spot that miniature fish scooting about.
I have only seen one of the two fry I saw the other day, so I hope the Schistura didn't find the other one....
Apologies for not getting the tank pic up yet, been rather busy here. Will do it sometime this weekend for you all.

I must apologise for the delay in getting the pics up - but better late than never!
Although I normally do ok with taking close up pics of fish, I always seem to struggle with full tank pics - they always come out far too dark. So for a few of these I had to hold the shutter open for longer, but that means that there might be the odd blur in the pics.
First off, a reminder of how the tank looked last October:
And now, it's a jungle in there!
A sharper couple of pics, but much darker:
Did you notice the baby Crypts growing at the front of the tank? Here's a closer look:
I have to thin these out all the time. The right hand side of the tank is much calmer than the left (the leaves do act as a natural water break) but the water is highly oxygenated throughout.
Here are a few quick pics of just some of the inhabitants that obliged:
Schistura balteata
Annamia normani (female) with Sewellia species.
Annamia normani (female) munching on JMC catfish pellets
He's "the daddy"! Again munching on JMC catfish pellets. The spotties are fiercely protective of these.
And here are a couple of tiny young spotties. The first one, I was astounded to see was eating a baby snail. I have a feeling that a bigger loach killed it and partially dragged it out of it's shell, but this little 'un was having a good old munch:
And an even smaller fry, at 5mm TL:

P.S. I add absolutely no fertilisers or do anything special for the plants. The lighting is simply 2 x 42" Hagen Powerglo tubes.
