I don't have that set-up anymore :oops: I'm nearly finished with my fish-room, I'll post some pictures of the tanks as soon as I'm done

Anyone else you wanna show their sand-dweller set-up?

All the best,

Thomas

Jesper, is that Brian's tank? The one from the exhibition in Århus? It sure looks nice :)

Remko, your tank looks great so far, please post some pics when it's finished - what do you plan keeping in it?

All the best, Thomas

Thanks Thomas,
The idee is to keep some red princess with a groep of paracyprichromis nigripinnis. But first have to wait until the water is ready!

Hi Yitzy,

they are produced by a Swedish company: http://www.backtonature.se/index.html

On the list of distributors you can find the US distributor: http://www.backtonature.se/english/distributors.html

The modules doesn't weight much, so they can easily be mailed.

All the best, Thomas

:shock:

never seen such a close up picture of a baby Trig bigger than 'larvae' stadium

amazing!
completely different from what I thought they'd look like, except for the diagonal striping.

Changongo-
Your pictures are inspiring. You, like so many others here, are truly a talented photographer. I hope that you are able to share more pictures of these fish as they mature.
