Hi all -
Haven't been here in a while, so I thought I would post pics of the new Scarlets I just got, they are still youngsters. And a couple of updated photos of the Leopards, Pigeons & Reflections

All but the Scarlets are young adults, not quite paring. A good 6"+ each, and those 8 are in a 60 gal.(about 228 liters) planted.
The Scarlets are still intermediates, about 4" or so, and those 5 are in a 50 gal. (about 190 liters) planted.
Yep !, I know ! I will need more tanks ! I'm waiting on a definite pair here or there, and then I'll split em' up. I'm thinking by Spring here (we're right in the middle of winter in Utah, U.S.A. maybe four months to go.

they really are lovely! how does your filter cope with all the waste from the fish? im sure the plants are good to have. Do they get on with eachother? mine are always pecking eachother, well, one in paticular is always having a go at the others!

Thanks guy's -
Both tanks two filters each.
The 60 gal has a Fluval 405 and a Penguin Bio 330 on it for filteration and I do 50% water changes every other day. The 50 gal has a Fluval 305 and a Penguin Bio filter as well. Also doing 50% water changes every other day. And the tanks are vacuumed once a week, both tanks have quite a bottom crew of Corry Cats and a two Clown Loaches each.
