Alrighty, I just wanted to post a couple of pics so everyone can see how my tank has progressed. I apologize if the pics are too big...photobucket isn't working right and won't allow me to save the photos after I edit them.

My 55 gallon:

Yuck, I didn't realize it had turned out blurry. Sorry!
Currently has: pearl gourami, cory cats (albino & peppered), cherry barbs, zebra danios, black Kuhli loaches and oto cats. The left side of the tank has white sand and the right side has gravel. I need to add some more gravel to it where the gravel and sand meet up, and I will probaby add some more plants at some point in the future. Our local pet stores haven't had a great selection so I just went with the Amazon sword plants for the most part. I have a Java fern, but it hasn't grown hardly at all, so I haven't added any more. I think I also had a water wisteria that died. And I used to have hornwort in all my tanks, but I got sick of it shedding all over and got rid of it.

Closer views of each side of the tank:

Lightning McQueen's home (3 gallon tank):

He likes to hang out in the bottom part of the house, though he'll also rest in the top part from time to time.

Here's a pic of the handsome McQueen himself:

And my currently empty ten gallon. Can you tell it's my 3 yr old's tank? haha. I think I'm going to use it for a quarantine tank now, instead of the 23 gallon. I will pull the current ornaments out and put some different ones before I get my BN pleco though (like driftwood for it to eat, and a cave to hide in). I was going to put some plants in it but am going to wait awhile.
