Here are a few more favorite pics:

Can you spot the shrimp in this pic? The betta is showing off his good side!

Pucker Up!

How many corys can you see? (They just love each other!)

I love how the corey blends in with the bridge in the picture of the bottom feeding betta. You have truely set up a nice community tank.

Thank you very much! The cory's seem to feel very secure because they blend in with so much of the aquascape (at least that's what I THINK). Because of that, they are all over the tank!

My cories spend a lot of time wiggling and dancing all over the tank too. (And they don't blend -- my tank's all color, hehehe) I think it's just nice, clean water and good friends. Your cories are happy! (There's a picture here of one of my cories "hiding" in a leaf, like yours! I love it when they do this.)

Your betta is so cool. Smile

And you have shrimp too! I missed that on the first page. What kind of shrimp are they? Have you had any trouble with them? I was wanting some for a while. I think they're so cool-looking. But after some research, it just sounded like they might be hard to keep alive and happy... Maybe I was being too paranoid.

I have ghost shrimp. They are the easiest to take care of! They cost about .30 cents at the LFS and are invaluable because they clean up any food missed by the fish. I even have one in a 1 gallon cycling tank. They don't seem picky about water parameters or water temp (the 1 gallon is unheated). Anyway, they are a great, cheap way to help keep the tank clean and are even fun to watch!
