Hi LeStat,
Thanks for the nice coment!

Excellent painting. I'm jealous.

Beautiful painting! I am jealous too.

And this friend just let me know she is doing another one. This time, according to her, she is doing a bigger one showing 8 of my Clown loaches. She leaves in Sao Paulo city, some 450 km away from Rio de Janeiro but she will come to Rio in 3 months and will bring the new painting. I´ll let you know ASAP.

That will be amazing!

Well Marcos, I think you now own the crown for having the most great photo's in a single thread. Congrats.

Marcos,

Great pics...thanx.

I was feeling very inadequate when I saw your intact plants and wondered what I was doing wrong....then I saw your second pic with the damage and felt better.....my loaches have wreaked havoc with my plants....looks like a war zone

Hi chefkeith,

I´m sure you´re wrong but thanks anyway!

BTW, I´m still fighting Nitrates. Yesterday I did a 50% WC. My Nitrates are now at 25-30 PPM. Here is the 50% water change (with hard vacumming):

Also added another external filter Now there are 3 external (two AquaClear70 and one Whisper60) and two internal:



Yes loachcoach,

I took those Anubia out from their tank to another one and put new Anubias. Here they are:

I know I've said it a few times in this thread already but your yoyos are real beauties.

Your clowns are beauties too! Excellent photos.

Thanks Marcos for sharing all the great photos. Your Botia are beautiful - so is your tank! I love the Red Tail Shark Too - he's a big boy! I have a Red Tail in both my Botia tanks - much smaller - They go good with the Clowns, they would really be happier if someone was afraid of them - but no chance .
Huge amounts of filtration! That's just how it should be.

Nice music on your YouTube vid as well!
