Grace the shark being her feisty self.  She's got some scuffs in this photo around her eye and by her dorsal, but it's normal.  She's fine! She gets those abrasions from rubbing into things and has a lot more room these days. 🙂

But, Love the photo because she's so hard to get a good sharp focus on!

Most of the time this is what you get.  She is definitely reminiscent of her name and such a graceful moving fish... every morning I just sit and watch her do her thing.  She is a bit magical.

First time I raised the fry by myself... 3 generations.  The middle or right one is the first survivor above.

Loving the moss and it was nearly looking perfect for me!  I really just enjoy watching the shrimp do their thing in a wall or carpet of moss.  It's one of the most calming and relaxing moments for me.

Finally getting one of my favorite plants to grow after months of trying.

So funny that he’s showing off and trying to be all enticing and sexy and she just wants a snack.  😆 

This guy.  Every time I see him.

He only does that for her. When she is sleeping and he asks for a snack there is no sexy display. If he is snacking and she wakes up it’s instant showing off.

I'm not a fan of the longtail stuff, but I can understand the appeal.  But what are these corys?!

Melini corydora.  Bandit or false bandit. Once they are a year old they are insanely prolific. They spawn in a big pile of moss and do not eat eggs.  I started with 10-13 I can’t quite remember.  I pulled roughly 100 out to sell. The rest I can’t catch. They are amazingly fast but not fearful of me. Always in the way when I siphon. Very adorable and swim midwater quite often. 
 

It’s funny I’m not a longfin fan at all  mom n dad are the only exception

I dont know how well it comes out on camera but i find the purple sheen on the top half of this platy pretty impressive. Definitely a trait to try and breed out.

My most breathtaking fish is this female platy though (first picture is with flash, second picture is without)
