There in there :D :D, pic from my new phone. Not exactly a close up. I had to get the tanks in, the bottom center tank has 5 jack dempsey's in it. Only about 2 1/2" long, the top left has some black convicts, top center houses the flavus, yellow top's, and hongi for now. And the top right is a tank full of about 35 fry. only 3 red zebra's, and the rest the white tail acei... Soon i will get some closer pics... 8)
