We bought our little guy a tank last July and recently upgraded the scenery. Before we had blue gravel and rocks with sea-type plants attached (all plastic, none real). Now we have brown river pebbles and driftwood, it looks so much nicer.

Here's a couple of glowlights, they were camera shy and hard to get a good shot of...

Thank you both...

We're planning on upgrading the tank when we move this summer and have more room. We've seen a 29-36 gallon (I can't remember how big it was) in a nearby shop and we'll most likely buy that one.

So all of the fish will soon have a bigger home!!

You thought it was a 36 gal. in the thread on the python.

I'm sure the fish will love their new home no matter how much bigger it is.

Yeah my husband thinks it was 29... not sure. The price was about $350, including the stand, so maybe that's why I'm thinking 36? I don't know. Like you said, I'm sure the fish will appreciate their new home. I'm already looking forward to buying more ornaments for it!!

When the time comes we'll definitely be posting up about stocking the new tank (depending on the size) and stocking the old tank. We're thinking of keeping African dwarf frogs in the old tank, my son had one but it died.
