Awesome. Yeh, I likw corys, but never had any. Here are some pics of my freshwater tank, I hope you dont mind me posting?

This is the Vision 180, when it was a freshwater:



Then, I used it for my marine tank, and so this is same inhabitants, swapped into a 4'



The tiny tank to the right of it was a 1' one: it was a tiny little marine one I set up, with bubbles going through. I was raising some marine shrimps in it. Managaed to raise them to 16 days (on my second try), which was actually pretty good. The lower one is the breeding tank.

And, this is my breeding tank (bred some cichlids in there, and tried with albino ancistrus... but they never wanted too... they were still quite young)

Hi quixotic_axolotl, how do you get pictures of your fish without them being blurry? If I change the shutter speed I have to put the flash on and the tank becomes dark in the pictures.
