To put in my 10g tank.
I decided it will be a cory hasbrosus/pencilfish
tank.
So today I picked up 4 very nice pencilfish.
Couldnt be more happy with my choice.

Heres some pics of these beauties

That's a really nice looking tank!

I have four pencilfish in a 10gal, too, with a bunch of shrimp. It's worked out very well.

Enjoy them

That certainly is a well planted tank and it looks so natural.

Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info

Look here for my

Thanks everyone!
I know the plants are in desperate
need of a good trim. Thats coming soon.
I will also be getting some java moss in the
spring, and hope to find a nice peice
of driftwood for this tank sometime in the spring,
early summer, as soon as the weather is nice
enough to go hunting along the river.

I am really happy with the pencils.
They sure are neat fish!

Good Eyes Fallout!
Yep its a young male red wag platy.
I have tried 3-4 times to catch him and move him to my big tank, but he is fast and elusive in the plants

Aye, sneaky lil buggers they are. Use a green net, go slow and you will catch him pretty quickly creeping up on him from behind

Then when you catch the Red-wag, PM me for my address and send him here. My little guy can use a playmate! (Worth a shot)

Very nice tank.

I would like to do a whole new aquascaping but I haven't been to the LFS that sells really good plants in a while.
