I generally stick to the forums that I participate in, unfortunately only those that frequent those forums may get to see them so I thought that I'd share with everybody.

I'll start with the newest addition, and the smallest, the new 5.5aga for my new cherry shrimp:





It still needs plants, which should be arriving this weekend.

Here's the 10g vivarium housing my pdf, a Dendrobates leucomelas.







Now for the 50 FW planted. I'm not super pleased with this tank ATM, but it has some potential there.






And on to the last, the 30g saltwater tank:

I love those pictures, especially the one of the jawfish, and the frog in the moss.

Great photos!

What camera did you use?
I'm getting into photography

Beautiful! I love SW pics but am glad to let YOU do all the work!

I love PDF! They're always so cute when they jump on the glass. I watched one at the aquarium jump onto the top of the glass, then slide all the way down .

I had an attack guard fish too, just didnt' tell anyone about him! .

^_^

Thanks everybody

I realized that I forgot to post an fts of the salt tank:




JQW - I'm using a canon A710 IS. I wanted to get a P & S with some of the neat manual features (and image stabilization) found in bulkier DSLRs. This was definitely the camera for me, as it was in the price range. Can't much afford $1000 + cameras on a student's budget.

I had an attack guard fish too, just didnt' tell anyone about him!

Now now Babel, everybody has a right to know when they are in life or death circumstances. I think the law states all guard fish must be accompanied by proper signage.

Beautiful pictures! /:'

Beautiful! Thats all I can say...simply beautiful.

Lovely pictures!

First of all, your Synodontis catfish has temporarily got me stumped - what species is it?

I won't even try to put names to the invertebrates because [1] it's not my specialist field [2] a fair few are mis-identified at the shops anyway, and [3] it takes a professional invertebrate zoologist specialising in a very narrow group of animals into which your particular inverts fall to identify to species level with any certainty.

Next, your orange Pesudochromis like fish in the saltwater aquarium - it looks as if it should be a Pseudochromis diadema, but that fish has a magenta mark on the back that spreads out to become a head mask around the eyes (at least the one in my Burgess' Mini-Atlas does). So if it's not a diadema, what is it? Have I even got the Genus right?

Oh, your Opistognathus aurifrons is a beauty by the way.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Cali - the cat is a Syno. petricola. Love 'em to death.

You have me confused here Cali - I only have the 2 occelaris Clownfish, the pearly jawfish you commented on, and the Yellow clown goby, or Gobiodon okinawae. No Pseudochromis

I've got a couple new pictures of my cucumber, which for cali, I believe to be a Holothurid, or a detritivore(note the feeding apendages inthe photo above), and most likely Holothuria floridana, but as Cali said, it's impossible to be sure about this as far as amateur ID goes. I caught it behaving in a fashion most may not have witnessed, I surely hadn't seen this before, but knew about it. A little bit of skin sloughage:





Oooo, look how nice and clean it is

Checked.

Your Gobiodon okinawae is orange. I'm used to seeing yellow ones like the one illustrated in Fishbase. Plus, the overhead angle also confused me, hence my thinking initially that you had a small Dottyback in there, because that was the only thing in my Burgess' Mini-Atlas that vaguely fitted.

Oh, and the Synodontis petricola is wonderful. *Wants*
